Why do audio loops sound somehow “bad”?
Sequel always tries to playback audio according to the tempo set in the project, indepedent of the origin tempo of the used audio loop. If the origin tempo (which is stored inside the audio loop) is different to the project tempo then the audio material is automatically time-stretched in realtime. There are different modes for time-stretching available, allowing you to optimize the quality of the time-stretching result to suit the audio material as best as possible. When an audio loop is dragged into the project, a stretch mode is already selected usually. Now it can happen that the pre-selected stretch mode is not the best one. A drum loop often sounds better when the mode “Drums” is selected. However, if the loop contains tonal elements then the “Mix” mode can be a better choice. It is worthwhile to experiment with the different stretch modes! The effect of the different modes are more extreme, the more the origin tempo of an audio loop is different from the tempo used in the project
