Any help > would be appreciated. I did an entry for the Computer Music mag remix competition a few months back and found that the beat slicer plugin for fruityloops was great for keeping everything in time, just slice up your loops as you would anyway, but you can also use it for the vocals too! Basically, you put a slice marker on each word (or syllable if you need finer control) and then adjust things in the piano roll until it all sounds right. hope that helps, Andy
