How To Sync Samples To The Project Tempo In FL Studio

This FL Studio beginner tutorial will show you how to synchronize audio samples to the project tempo in FL Studio, and also how to detect the tempo of a sample and match the project tempo.
There are several different techniques available. The technique used depends on the type of sample and what you are trying to achieve. Make sure to watch the entire video to learn all the different techniques.
There are many kinds of audio samples, like one-shots, drum loops, instrument loops, vocals etc. They all require a somewhat different approach. This video will cover all the available options like how to cut samples, stretch samples, pitch sample, fit sample to tempo, and so on.

"Switch realtime stretching for all samples" - That was exactly the thing i wad lookin for l. thanks!!

[@FireWalkMusic]

You're welcome :D

[@kalashsarode]

Most fucking useful video ever! Last track I made, I had exclusive use of vocal recording, and it's chops for stuff.. and I literally had a butt load of struggle. Namely, recorded in fl, exported wav in Audacity, did the readjustments there *approximately*, and imported in FL again only to find that the tempo was slightly off, so in circles I went... You have literally saved tens of hours in my upcoming projects..

[@FireWalkMusic]

Thanks! Glad you liked it :)

Most of the time, I sync and stretch samples manually. Sometimes I use pitch up or down for various effects. I prefer it manually because it’s more precise. Great video!!
