As I’ve been working a lot with acoustic recordings lately, I think there’s something missing from the sample editor. To be able to set the sample length would be really useful. Especially, the ability to set the sample to a number of beats! I guess it could be implemented as ‘cut from end of sample, if less than current length’, ‘insert silence at end if longer’.
But why a specific length? Currently, my workflow involves cutting silent parts and sticking them onto the end of a sample, until I reach the desired length. It just makes long samples much easier to work with. With a long sample containing lyrics, use the 940 sample offset command for second verse, 980 for the third, etc.
Edit: this is a lazy-ass feature, I know
