But you also need a minimal bit of setup. First of all, I would recommend setting the recording to autoseek (sample > properties).
Next, enable the metronome, and try and find the spot where you can trigger the sample and it aligns with the beat. If they don’t you might need to adjust your sample (for example, by adding a slice marker at the desired spot and then triggering that slice).
Next, tap away using the tool. And, if you start drifting - well, this approach is a bit unforgiving but might still convey feeling better than programming the values…
I’ve recorded some things without a backing beat and at times the tempo drift interfered with looping. I used Reaper (though I’m sure there are other tools) to “resize” sections to fit a set tempo. It allows you to stretch/shrink the wave while maintaining the intonation.
