So this might be a stupidly easy question but I havn't worked with time signatures and quantization much. I'm trying to get a 4:4 hip hop beat to work with a 3/8 waltzy soul song I've sampled. I want to be able to splice the audio to a midi drum rack and make some cool cuts and chops that work in time with the new hip hop beat. Whats the best way to go about this process?
What I've tried already is selecting the sample clip, changing the clips time signature to 3/8 then quantizing it to 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16th notes but it doesn't sound natural; its way too destructive on the file and doesn't even align the warp markers to landmarks of the clip's grid.
I've tried quantizing this same way but with 4:4 on the clip selection but get the same problem.
When I splice to midi with a quantized or unquantized sample, it either makes the time of the cuts way too short or way too long. I want them long so I can hit a note on the piano roll and play a section of the song uninterrupted. The only way I know of doing this is splicing by like a bar or half a bar, but i'll only get 12-23 cuts which is a pretty poor resolution of the entire song. If i choose 1/4 1/8 or any faster of cuts i'll get the max 127 cuts, but they are too short and I can't get any lyrical content or any good sound out of them.
