My hack-job solution is to put a silent dummy clip before my sample, and adjust its Follow Action to start the sample in time. For example, let's say I have a vocal sample that starts 1 beat early; I make a silent dummy clip with a Follow Action of "play next" after 3 beats.
You can make an entire scene of dummy clips with follow actions to ensure that things start in sync with each other. Once again, depending on your layout, you might need to do some fancy routing to prevent audio from dropping out, but I promise you it IS possible.
This solution can cause complexities if your set already relies on follow actions, but I find it's easier to set up multiple clips this way instead of bouncing back and forth between session/arrangement to lengthen samples.
Hope that helps!
Rock the projects,

This is actually pretty brilliant, brother.
