fades on the clips
also look at the auto fade option in warp preferences

Good advice above regarding the fades. I would add to that: zoom in and check that your loop starts at the proper place. You might be cutting off a part of the kick in your loop.

I will check the fades, but the starting point is always correct, and even when I record a sample from my drum machine or anything pretty much like drums, the first sound of the bar is different , very weird behive, I can import and past and cope but always happen the same the first kick sounds lower or different

Is there a compressor on that track (or on master channel)?

Yup, this is almost certainly the setting under preferences being set to auto-create fades on clip edges

Maybe He has Repitch mode in preferences so every clip he will import into live will sound a bit different because bpm are not the same thus changing pitch of the audio file.

just an idea...

EDIT: go in preferences :arrow: audio :arrow: choose beat mode [or anything but repitch]

but he's not saying the clips sound different, he is saying the first sound i.e. kick, note, whatever, sounds different, because, as everyone will find out when he solves this by changing the auto-fades, he has that setting turned on!
