So i've chopped up some samples and played them back in my chosen order........whilst the drums are playing it sounds fine, but when i solo the samples I can hear clicks and pops where i've they obviously arent meeting at zero crossing....

i really want to be able to solo the samples before the drums drop......has anyone got any good solutions for this?...

only thing I can think of is to export the samples as a loop and run it through a click pop eliminator on Cool Edit....

Are you not first previewing the individual slices in the CHOP screen? Just preview each slice and make very small adjustments using the data wheel or Q4 until they are click free, often you only need to take it back 1 click, especially if zero snap is on. I cover speed chopping techniques in my book, with examples specifically created to help eliminate the clicks and pops you often get in CHOP mode.

with this particular track i'm cutting off the samples halfway through, so they arent ending at the end point of the chops....the clicks are only really appearing after the samples have been sequenced..

plus i've got a bit of swing on them too.....

I normally trim the sample in small increments until the pop is gone. For me it usually goes away with just a few clicks of the wheel
