Sample format conversion, pitch shifting, time-stretch artifacts
Beat-making lives in samples. You pull audio from anywhere. YouTube rips, vinyl scans, AI generations. And chop, pitch, reverse, and stretch it into something new. The faster the in-browser pre-processing (clean up the source, get it into WAV, shift the pitch by a few semitones), the more time you spend writing.

Beat Makers FAQ
What sample format is best for chopping?
WAV at the original sample rate of the source. Don't convert to MP3 first. It adds a generation of compression that survives chopping. Keep it lossless until the final beat is bounced.
Can I pitch a sample without changing tempo?
Yes. That's exactly what a pitch shifter does. Shift up or down in semitones (or cents for fine tuning), and the time stays the same. For dramatic pitch shifts beyond ±5 semitones, expect some artifacts.
