Ableton Forum

I've been using the drum rack to sample since I upgraded to live 7.
I havent been able to find a way to speed up the time with the drum rack though. I used impulse with live 6 and you can adjust the time with that but you only have 8 sample pads and when you adjust the time it sounds kinda choppy. When using sampler If you play the sample in a higher key it plays faster and vice versa. I havent found a time control for the sampler, but I have only used the demo. So, once again, What do you think is the best way to sample with ableton?

Also am I the only one who has a problem with choppiness when slowing down and speeding up samples or an audio file? I'm wondering if my computer is too slow.

Thanks

There is no time stretching currently in the drum rack / simpler.

You can warp samples by using clip envelopes (repitch mode speed up the sample, the pitch increases etc).

Impulse does allow you to adjust the time.

Although I have Sampler, I quite often just grab audio clips, set the loop points and use the clip envelopes to warp/pan/transpose etc. Force of habit as I have only had Sampler since upgrading from L6 to L7 Suite.
