Chopping Samples

im looking to start sampling and i have a 1k... I dont have any way to chop the samples or anything like that. i really dont know too much about it.

I plan on using a computer (PC) and im most likely getting a turntable tomorrow.

Whats a good computer program to use?

Could yall school me on what i need to know to sample

sound forge is a great program. really basic but it does the job

i use it for chopping samples

If you on a budget just DL Audicity. It's free and works good, I use it.

yeah i was wondering that as well...

Come on lamp.. or prah.. or tutor even.. we need some moderating here!

you can chop on the mpc 1000.


hilight the area of sample you want to chop, and use the extract edit command.

oh i didnt know that thanks for the help...

but what about timestrech?

i kno the 1k doesnt have it...

U can chop in the 1k. No timestretch but u can 16 level it but u will change the pitch. No zone but u can copy the sample a few time and shop each. I do that, maybe time consumin but it gives u the concept and makes u appreciate the features may come later on in the OS 1k update. If u can, don't rely on the computer unless u really really have to!

The reason why a lot of people don't know that you can extract samples on the 1K, is because no one reads the manual. The first thing I do when I buy a piece of eqipment I am not familiar with at all, I read the manual.
