Blending a sample and tight drums perfectly..

[PenguinKiller]

Say you have a sample of 4 seconds long. It includes instrumentation;
bass, guitar and no drums. Well, a bit. Lightly, only some hihats and light kicks
No you have this 1 bar drum from a drum-sequencer. How do you sync these to to a perfect blend?
Do I cut up the sample and paste the parts one by one over each note of the drums?

Any other suggestions?

Recycle the drum beat and then create a groove quantize out of the instrumental loop.

EDIT: that won't work in Cool Edit, though, you'd need a sampler and a midi sequencer.

Whats a groove quantize?
Do I have it on my SP-12 sequencer?

I don't know much about SP-12s, in Cubase, Logic et al it's a feature that let's you create a grid out of the events in an audio track, and then you can snap midi notes to the grid.

Please be more specific!
As a sample I consider an audio file but I read hear people talking about midis. Can you link some sounds?
This is interresting but I am not quite sure what are you intending to do....
