Do you need to make that sample in FL Studio longer? This wikiHow teaches you how to stretch a sample in FL Studio by selecting an option and then dragging and dropping.

How to Time Stretch FL Studio Samples

Open your FL Studio project and enable the Stretch option in the top-left corner of the workspace. Place a sample in a track and click-drag on one end to stretch it for the duration you want.

  1. You'll find this program or app in your Start Menu or Applications folder; then you can open your project by going to File > Open or you can right-click the sample file in your file manager (like Finder for Mac or File Explorer for Windows) and select Open with > FL Studio .
  2. It's a tiny circle in the top left corner of your tracks and you want to make sure the circle is filled in, which means the feature is enabled.
    • You can also press Shift + M to enable and disable the feature.

  3. The audio sample will snap to the grid unless you press the Opt (Mac) or Alt (Windows) keys, which will remove the 'snap-to-grid' setting.
