Why are my drums off beat?

T`e`r`m · started 2021-12-27 23:39 · updated 2021-12-28 00:42

I used an 8 bar sample in one of my tracks. At first the drums are on beat (sort of) they sound a little off but they're still on beat. Then I realized overtime the drums start to sound more off beat, the hihats, 808s, everything. So yeah if you're familiar with this problem or know how to resolve this please lmk ASAP! If you don't understand what I'm saying comment below and I'll upload it for you to see.

It's cause the sample is not exactly 8 bars, it's a little bit extra or too short, you can fix this easily by changing the duration and then right clicking it and pressing "make real copy" and then using that for your loop or just however you like.

I find that weird since the sample says it's exactly 8.0 bars, but yeah I was able to fix it.
