Question about stretching samples

…and added to Grim’s (correct reply) in the example you linked to he IS stretching a loop of eight bars long to 16 bars long which (as Grim intimates) is much more likely to sound usable when stretched as he’s doubling its length and thus it will still sound in time (but half speed). The loop you’re wanting to stretch is from 8 to 15 seconds is a whole different affair.
