Tried this yet?

Using your sample trim screen.
Although I still have a ways to go as I am still learning my MPC it's been to my benefit to experiment. Trust me trial and error can be a rewarding experience.

You ever had the problem of looping a sample where no mater what, you just couldn't get that click on the end to disappear without making the sample too short to use?

Try this: From your trim screen highlight the end wave peak or just the click. Next hit edit and scroll over to reverse section. Note: Only the end/tail of your sample should be highlighted. Now hit do it. Highlight the entire sample and hit one of your pads. You won't necessarily get it perfect the first time but practice makes perfect. And on the creative side you can highlight and reverse any part of the sample you choose thus creating some unique samples. Again not every attempt will come out to your liking but the ones that do will be all you! ! Truly original.! Try this technique on synths and strings Bananas!

it is a natural function of the MPC so of course most headz that know their MPC's have tried it!....but thankz for posting it!!

this video helped me out a lot with the trim screen

Yeah I've seen that video a few months back. It's O.K.
Yeah Prah, I thought the same thing about the program bumping issue but almost no one knew how to avoid that or just didn't post any responses. The one post that I did see said it couldn't be done. But hell, we all have our right and wrong moments.

i didn't see that post......but i feel you......i wasn't saying anything like you were wrong or losing for posting that....i was just thinking about the kind of person i am catching on to things fast...but i was thanking you becuz newbies come on here and ask question about that.....and our duty is to help them out.....

useless comment, sorry

Do you find that technique useful? Sounds like it'd be a good imitation of a loop crossfade so you can eliminate that click you get sometimes when you take a loop off a regular audio cd... I'm gonna try that...

Actually its most useful for altering your samples altogether. The results depend on your sample and how much you flip. Don't forget you can also use the insert sound function in the equation as well as tunning. Point is just have fun and experiment combining the different functions on your MPC. Imagine two or more samples all in one sample path pitched and tweaked separetly in your trim screen and then inserted together. Again just be creative. I know I ain't Kanye West but I ain't afraid to experiment. And good or bad I don't sound like everybody else because I enjoy doing what comes natural to me.

i like reading stuff about techniques other people use, and i am always surprised of how many different things are possible, with a machine that simple as the MPC.

Everybody keep posting stuff like that.

Word up

I have used the insert sample before, it's interesting to play with to make something nobody will be able to recognize, I took a low horn, like a tuba and inserted it in front of a sound effect and then inserted the new sample (made up of the horn and sound effect) and inserted it in front of the horn again, so it would go like HORN-NOISE-HORN and made a loop out of it... it sounded kinda cool at the time.

useless comment, sorry

what you apologizing for????..........it is real......it doesn't sound like a technique to me......maybe i am just that much about my MPC....it would only be a useless comment to someone who doesn't know or take the time to learn their MPC.......saying thankz is not useless either......please don't come talking stuff for no reason!

well, whats the sense of your post?
it reads like "well, you posted useless info, but thanks anyhow"...

so, i am sorry, i think your comment is lacking sense...

actually i am mostly here to read about techniques and stuff i didnt try yet with my MPC. If everybody responds to tips he already knows like that ("its obvious"), sooner or later nobody wants to write anything anymore..

okay, techniques for removing the clicks from your loop. Here's the easiest way, I think.

- Find the sample you want to loop. Make sure that the selected part of the sample in the trim screen is not that much longer than the part you're actually using. Meaning that if you want to loop two bars of a piano break, don't select 4 bars of it and just trigger it every two bars using the MONO setting.

- Notch the decay up a little bit, between maybe 3 and 10. This will cause the sound to fade out at the end and will remove clicks if done properly.

You can do a lot of interesting stuff by playing with the endpoint in the trim screen and the decay. You can get your sample to fade out in different ways before it loops - this can be tweaked very creatively.

that i realized already before you posted...becuz there is a lot of newbies on here and one who come everyday.....so my post wasn't made for those........my post was for the thread starter.....he asked a question "has anyone tried this???"....i thought he discovered something special for the newbies(my reason for the thank you) but for a advance MPC-er it wouldn't be (my reason for the rest)...........be thankful that dudes like Jontikiff posted s**t like that.....because without dudes like him it would be an empty board with ppl arguing about dumb ish(one of the reason we are a tight knit group)........so focus on the jewelz dropped on you instead of what don't make sense to you
