Make sure you’ve selected the waveform icon to choose “Focus Audio Clips” to see these options. Two settings that you may want to apply to your playlist are Z-Cross and Stretch, which are located in the top left, directly above the first track. From there, you can start manipulating your sample and it will remain in sync with your project BPM. Alternatively, you can select the “Fit To Tempo” option instead and this will stretch the loop into the BPM of your project. Now you can switch back to your project tempo and select the tempo range from the detect tempo menu to find the exact tempo. If not, simply play the beat and use the tap tempo feature by right-clicking the project BPM from the top menu and selecting “Tap.” Play the loop and tap along with the beats to get a rough estimate of the tempo. In those cases, simply choose the first option with the word (embedded) next to the tempo. Some samples, like this one, will come with tempo information embedded in it. This will bring up a menu with the tempo detection and fit to tempo options on the right. After you add the sample to the playlist, click on the waveform icon in the top left corner of the sample. Usually, the first step you want to take is matching the bpm of the loop to your current project. Perhaps these tips will even help you win a sample loop flipping contest in the future.

Plus, this should spark more creativity and freedom in your music production overall when using premade loops from a sample kit that countless others are also using. These are incredibly useful tools to help avoid copyright strikes from someone else who used the same sample loop as you.
