[Ableton 9] Issue with sample lenght.

Hello everyone.
I have an issue with Ableton 9 where I want to sample parts of a song and make some of them them loop.
I started off with chopping the parts I want to use and made sure that the parts that are going to loop, actually loop correctly.
That's where the problem started.
In the end, I want the pitch of the whole song to be either lower or higher, I haven't decided yet.
The problem is that my chopped samples aren't in the lenght I want them to be. As you can see in this screenshot, my "intro" is 7 1/2 bars long, when I want it to be 8, and my "verse" loop is barely 3 1/2 bars long, when I want it to be either 2 or 4 (so I can end up with a 16 bars verse).

So here's what I actually did:
  • I uploaded the whole song to Ableton 9.
  • I chopped off the beginning part of the intro since there was no actual sound to play.
  • I cut the intro off the rest of the song.
  • I cut the verse loop off the rest of the song and made sure it looped correctly.


And here I am, with my intro and verse loop.
The matter is that I want to round them up to 8 and 2-4 bars like I said earlier, and if I warp the intro with the "beats" setting to 8 bars like intended, it becomes very stuttery and thus have an overall shitty quality. If I warp with a "re-pitch" setting, the overall quality is great and I have the numbers of bars I've been looking for, but since the intro and the verse aren't of the same lenght, the pitch of both of them doesn't match.

Thank you for taking the time to help me figure this out, I'm rather new to Ableton and I'll provide you with as many informations as I can.
