It's because when using the offset command, the sample may not start on a zero crossing, this causes pops or clicks or whatever. Probably a fast attack in the volume envelope of the instrument could fix this.
Walter beat me to it. if you can picture how it works in your head you should have no difficulty knowing why it clicks/pops. timestretching using sample offset is just a little hack, it's more of a curiosity than viable replacement for using the function in a program that has a routine for it.
Nice tutorial Alexander! Nice to see you around here as well. I sure knew about the stuff you explained, but anyways.. I've heard alot of you tracks, and must say - It's great! See you around.
