MPC STEMS Help **Important Question**

Waddap, y'all

I am wondering if anyone has found an efficient workflow w/ MPC STEMS?

What i'm looking to do is:

Chop my sample, Get my loop going, then Use MPC Stems to be able to remove elements from my loop including the entire sample using the q-link knobs.

So that I can turn up or down the stem layers for the entire sample as a whole after being chopped and already created into a loop

Am I making sense?

For example; if I load a sample, chop it, then sequence my chops into a nice sounding loop - Can I then use MPC Stems to enable the q-links to fade away the drums out of the entire sample still? n’ not each n’ every individual chop?

Maybe i'm using it wrong?

Shouldn't you stem the loop first?

Bounce it to a single sample.
Use stems on that single bounced sample.

Thank you, that was the idea I was coming up w/ as well.

Is there a way to time stretch an entire sample? Or can I only time stretch 4-8 bar loops?
I usually warp my samples but now i'm starting to realize that it lessens the quality of my sample so i'm trying to learn how to time stretch.

Any kind of pitching or time stretching will cause degradation to a sample, there's no ifs about it.
