How do you adjust pitch and tempo on sample loops?

I just bought Vengeance's Dubstep Essentials - 2500 samples - organizing in Kontakt and Battery now - something is baffling me. In Kontakt I am slicing up the looped phrase samples and it applies MIDI notes to every 1/8 or 1/4 (or whatever) note so you can articulate musically. However, if the sampl...

Re: Sidechain plugs and how to use

I use logic and the only times I use sidechaining would be for compression or gating. Both Logic's compressor and noise gate have sidechain functionality built in, and I find it a lot easier than other DAWs.

Re: newcomers -> introduce yourself here

Now it's my turn to introduce myself - I too am from Colorado. I have been writing and producing music professionally for years and my girlfriend's son introduced me to dubstep a few months back and I was hooked.
