yeah man that's mine. just finished it up today with a clearcoat. the paint isn't really solid, it'll wear off over time, but that's kinda what i want to happen. i mean, i could always sand it off and do it again, right?

if you have more questions about zoning, let me know. zoning is maybe the most powerful tool for creative samplists...

its not too difficult if you understand beats and bars

you can chop at 1/4 or 1/8 notes in a 2 bar sample and if you chop it right you'll be able to play the pads in different order and have it on beat, after you chop it right, practice and play around to see how the sample sounds and to see how it fits.

if you have good samples or you really like a loop but wanna get really creative with it zoning is the perfect application.
