Just crop 16 bars on the audio track and adjust the BPM so it fits into 16 bars.
Two minutes work and if that isn't acurate enough try 32 bars.
If you are trying to sample anything other than electronic music and the BMP isn't constant. Mark each start of a bar on the audio track and audio-quantisize.
Hope this helps you do what you want to do.
Kind regards,
Nick |

Here is a way to calculate the BPM :
1- With Cool Edit Pro or another program, cut EXACTLY 1 mesure of a song (4 kicks) and note the length (for example : 1.832s).
2- Apply the magic formula : 4 / (length / 60) = BPM
At the opposite (4 / BPM) * 60 = length of 1 mesure (4 kicks)
In the example 1.832s => 131.004 BPM

You get one ing massive star for effort. You royally ed up in the Significant Figures though. Your BPM should techincally be 131.0 It's mathematically impossible for your calculations to be accurate to the .004th beat. And they say the French developed the whole sig fig/SI units system.
