Sampling myself...

I'm trying to chop up and a melody that I recorded and treat it like a sample (using logic 9)

how many different ways can I do this? I've read that I could bounce the wav out and put it back in there as a one shot sample and treat the melody like its a drum sample.....but no sure how to do this....does is anyone familiar with this way? or no of any different ways?

Loosen up dude. Experimenting is one of the aspects of figuring out sh!t in this game.

I sample/ chop my own stuff. It sounds like a sample and people cant figure out where i got it. I usually just chop in recycle ,drag into the mpc and then re record again in the mpc.. so make 8 bar drum kit or 4 bar melody or if i double time..16 bar drum or 8 bar melody.. create audio track in record and record the whole sequence no drop outs just alll in one track . Save to open in recycle.. do my thing.. get back to mpc. As 1 wav and re chop.. its a 50-50 thing. Sometimes it flips and sounds like a hit. Sometimes its just over produced.. bit when it works people beg for the track. Good luxk and u will find what works for u.. dont give up. One..

interesting, imma try somethings out, i first have to decide if i wanna do this all in logic or record the melody in logic then bounce to wav record in mp chop up then put it back in logic...i shall see...i think....

treat it like any other sample..
