Sorry Zark... sK3LeTvM said: If you use samples with hihat loops, you gotta make sure that you cut your samples in the same tempo so that this enhances the groove... I said: That might be your opinion but if you listen to some classic hiphop, most notably old RZA productions, you hear that some of the most dramatic and best things contain samples that don't work out in the tempo at all. That's what gives it that bizarre, dramatic vibe to it. And in my opinion, that's what makes it so phat as hell...
