If you turn on Flex and change it to Flex Pitch, you can convert the loop to Midi data and then reassign it to a software synth or other sound source. I usually do not use "music loop" samples directly, if avoidable.

If something is really prominent in the mix, giving it some more attention never hurts. (like how you would with a FL Slicer, for example). The loop can easily be retimed to a new bpm that way, just by simply editing the Midi data. It automatically slices the audio and generates a midi track with the playback data. Across a single drum hit, it is barely noticeable.Īnother good way to avoid Logic's time stretch is to take a breakbeat loop (as example), and drag it into a new Drum Machine Designer track. The longer the audio sample, the more any flaw in the stretch algorithm is compounded because it's calculating all the silence and all hits at one time. So any stretching is really just done to individual hits after they are correctly placed. Pitch n Time Pro is a high quality time-stretching and pitch-shifting AudioSuite software plug-in for the Pro Tools platform. I use Flex, and move the hits around so they fall on the correct beats. Another thing, in breakbeat loops for example, I do not stretch the entire loop. But as mentioned, I typically do not do stretching over 5 or 10% change. I use the Logic stretch and have no problems with it. Paulstretch is in Audacity which is a nice way to use it.
