Need a bit more info than that, but I don't see how thats possible.

Changing the master tempo in Reason Essentials does nothing to the tempo of the actual sample. The sample sounds the same, only the length of time taken to play the sample is changed. Either the loop does not complete (high tempo,) or there is dead air after the sample when the loop completes (slow tempo.) Hope this is clear.

How many slices does the loop have?

Ok so have you not chopped up this sample in recycle?

The only chopping is a full bar or two from an entire song. I record the part of a song I want, usually 3 or 5 seconds, with Audio Hijack. Then I convert the mp3 to wav and finally perfect the loop I'm after in Recycle. That clip, if you disregard the Tracy Morgan dialog, is just a drum loop from one song and a horn loop from another.

yea thats why its not working, you need to slice the loop in recycle based on transients not bars. Basically a rex file will trigger at every slice point in time with the tempo in reason. So if you have one slice your loop will pretty much always be out of time. Rechop it correctly in recycle and that should fix your problem.

Gonna try that. Question: why does Propellerhead instruction page say use Recycle with NN-XT in Reason? I'm using DrOctoRex.

You can open Rex files in many different devices in Reason, if you want to do creative things to the slices you can use NNXT, or Kong for example. But for general loop abuse Dr Octorex is the way to go.
