Have a great dilemma. When i make the drum pattern in Maschine and i use drum kit samples, have i time stretch all single sounds? For example i use a kick runs 80 BPM but the beat tempo is 90 BPM, have i do that?

 

Drum samples have no bpm. They're one-shot, no need to stretch.
That's why it is always better to store drum sequence and samples separately instead of mixing them down to a loop:
Changing bpm will force you to time-stretch with more or less loss of quality, plus it's hard to change the loop because you cannot access the individual hits anymore.

 

Stretching one-shots is loco (and degradative). Don't.

 

no...

 

I prefer to use one shot, no loop for sure ;)
I ask you because everytime i can feel the groove of pattern i supposed was that problem :|

 

Which's the right way to get a good groove? Lenght drum sample? What? Thanks

 

Swing, shuffle, offset, velocity, syncopation, hang, stress, flams, accenting, offbeats, most instruments following the same groove/groove template, certain instruments NOT following the same groove, etc etc. It's an art.

''syncopation'' should have known but did not knew we that exact word. thanks to wiki I translated it to my native, ready to impress my friends with bachelor music degrees
