(electronic beat loop) As you can see, it's just a standard drum loop, nothing really speacial. Well, let's turn it into something else. First we'll start by time stretching it. Notice that the tempo is set to 28bpm. That's really slow, I know, but at this tempo it will create a ton of anomalies with the stretching algorithms we're using. So let's get in here. I'll turn warp on, and just hit "Yes", and what I'm going to do is I'm going to put a warp mark at the very end of this. Alright, so, let's stretch this out to, let's just say, I don't know, let's bring it to three. Right before three, there we go. So, let's play this. (electronic beat loop) Alright, so as you can see, we've got a lot of crazy time stretch artifacts to work with now. Now, let's put a vocoder on it, and set it to track the pitch…
