I like your videos. They are short and to the point. Too many people have 20 min videos here on KZbin, which could be shown much faster. Sure, I understand that the gang wants their advertising income, but still. Time is money.

[@Dreckabeatz]

Not necessarily a glitch, you're just in the wrong "TRIM" window, when attempting to access the time stretch function. Follow me...I'm going to first attempt to recreate your glitch...After you assign a sample to your pad, press the main button. Now press edit samples, before doing anything else...press process then double tap"function window" to bring up all your function options. I think this is where you're experiencing the "glitch". Time stretch along with some other functions should be grayed out (not letting you select them)....Now hit cancel or press main. At the main screen press edit samples BUT this time press the TRIM option on the screen (the first square under the TRIM option should be highlighted "white")...now press PROCESS then scroll or double tap your FUNCTION window...nothing should be grayed out (all options are available). If you press TRIM prior to editing/chopping your samples, you'll always have TS available when time to process....Did this help or nah?

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Going to look into this I’ll let you know if this works . Im still learning about the Mpc live every day !

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Yo I tried it out and it only works sometimes for some reason . It may be because of the current version I’m using it want like this a few updates ago!

[@Dreckabeatz]

@@Soulstice_Beats dang! Sorry to hear that man, are you currently using the new firmware version?

[@Soulstice_Beats]

@@Dreckabeatz I believe so it’s one of the more recent ones. I notice sometimes the updates come with some bugs

[@SDavidVision]

That was the easiest way to explain Time Stretch and I thank you 💪🏾🔥💯

[@Soulstice_Beats]

No problem glad it helped!

[@SDavidVision]

@Cookin with Soulstice 🎶 I have this issue on a couple joints and I never thought to extract the sample. So, I thank you because now my time stretching will be precise 💯

[@Soulstice_Beats]

@@SDavidVision hell yea bro I’m glad this helped you bro !! Guess I’m not the only one with this problem !!

[@andei_]

Nice beat, brother. I am watching a few videos about time stretching in order to match a melody with a beat I am working on in my Akai MPC Live II. Thanks for your video. I am writing this comment to motivate you and cheer you to continue posting videos.

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Thank you my friend !!! Glad it helped!!!!

[@deeoats2329]

Dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Thanks man 👊🏽

[@CDMESD]

Great Video. It really help with understanding how to time stretch.

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Thank you glad it helped !

[@teachmetofish8710]

Great video and technique 😎

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Thanks man glad it helped

[@fktrecords]

thanks for the info. need to use more time stretching with my samples.

[@Soulstice_Beats]

No problem hope it helps!!

[@di4352]

You make great videos, man.

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Thank you !!!

[@ayyyyeeee1403]

i also get that issue where Time Stretch doesn't show up. also happens with Discard sometimes and i figured out the same workaround you did lol!

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Great minds think alike my friend …

[@Magnetic1908]

The time stretch glitch happens on the Mpc one v2.12 also. Was wondering why that happens. Thank you for the video!

[@Soulstice_Beats]

No problem brotha !!

[@lyricsmatter_University]

You have to press all vs just slices. ( Trim Page )

[@jerrypizzini]

@@lyricsmatter_Universityhmm really. That makes more sense

[@MrRahlo42]

You should have camera completely over the screen so we can fully see your screen

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Yea I know it’s tough to film the screen without glare . Thanks for the feedback brotha !

[@cheodelpino581]

Do you really have to convert it once you time stretch?

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Yes make sure it’s also chosen as non destructive slice and it’ll make it into its own drum program

[@djskillzz215]

Quick Question: If you left the 80bpm drum loop like it was, with the sequence at 80bpm, then increased the sequence bpm to 115 to match the sample, would the drum loop track also increase it's bpm speed as well? Or do you HAVE to time stretch it? Thanks.

[@Soulstice_Beats]

I’m not 100% sure I think it would but the tempo increase would change the pitch significantly and make it sound kinda shitty which is why time stretch is goated it keeps the pitch the same

[@djskillzz215]

I can make a video on that if you want

[@lordshiva83]

How come the Time Stretch function is always greyed out for me?? It wont let me timestretch, what am i doing wrong?

[@Soulstice_Beats]

I talk about this workaround later on in the video

[@Phrozen716]

How do you time stretch a 3 bar loop / groove to an even 4 bars ? .. like a Daw

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Not sure if you can do that on the Mpc live but I’ll look into it for you man

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Here’s what you can do bro it’s not possible on the Mpc live but you can duplicate the 3 bars then cut off the bars until you have 4

[@Phrozen716]

Logic has an option to drag. A sample to nearest even bar .. example 3.3 bar can be pulled and stretch to the fourth bar …

[@LS-ub1iq]

My time stretch definitely is not working on my mpc live 2 ,even after I extract the sample

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Hmmm it could be the current software version you are on . Try updating or downgrading to another version

[@LS-ub1iq]

@@Soulstice_Beats I updated it like last month,but what's the latest update just in case?

[@SclimBeats]

Yoo

[@Soulstice_Beats]

What’s up bro 😎

[@Mirrorman1986]

Would it be better to time stretch or warp?

[@Soulstice_Beats]

I find time stretching to be better

[@SclimBeats]

I actually never use time strach on mpc

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Yea it’s helpful if you use drum breaks and want to match them to the bpm of a sample

[@paserpase2870]

Beat aint fire bro, but tutorial is useful

[@Soulstice_Beats]

Thanks man appreciate the honesty
