One advantage of a Rex file is that the tempo can be changed without the need for time stretching. If done incorrectly or if the source material is complicated, time stretching can introduce an unwanted bubbling effect. With a Rex file the sample slices are moved closer to each other when the tempo is increased and further from each other when the tempo is decreased.
In this video tutorial I’ll show you how to make your own rex files using Propellerheads Recycle.
