Tempo change for a sample

Question

I'm having trouble matching the tempo of a sample song to match the drum loops. I tried to use the "Adjust tempo using region length and locators" but it does not give an accurate tempo for the song. I just need the sample to match the loops, any thought?

Hi,
if you have a longer part, you can use the plugin metering->BPM counter to check which tempo your sample song has. Now, you can open up the sample editor and use time&pitch machine to make an adjustment between the original tempo and your desired target tempo. However, you'll need to fit your edited sample song to the drum groove, so after you have done the rough tempo change, enable flex mode, change to flex view and drag the waveform around so that the transients hit each other exactly at the same beat - you can use flex view to do the fine tuning.
