Retiming audio samples with Newtime

When recording live audio or importing samples, sooner or later you’ll find audio clip timings don’t match up with the rest of your song. Audio mistimings can be corrected using the FL Studio plugin Newtime.

Newtime allows you to map out the key moments in your audio sample and adjust the timing to better fit your song. Let’s retime audio samples using Newtime:

1. You’ll first need an audio sample clip to retime. Load up an audio clip sample in the playlist. Any will do. In my example, we’ll use a drum sample that comes with FL Studio, but you can use any sample that you like. If this is your first time using Newtime I recommend finding a drum loop sample as this is the easiest way to see clear results.
