diffculties with auto chop/slice, need help

greets

so I'm trying to use auto chop or auto slice to slice up a long sample and make a program. I'm recording hand claps (12 claps) as close to the metronome as possible at slow BPM so there's enough silence between the claps, then I go into TRIM mode and no matter how I set the AUTO Slice setting I don't get 12 nice slices ready to be turned into a program, I have to adjust the start and end points of the chops/slices every time.

Is this at all possible to do in auto mode? Do I have to record as precise as the metronome in order for the MPC to autoslice properly?

thanks in advance

are they all the same claps? Can't you just sample one? Is the same clap going on every pad?

for best results chop manually. auto chop is a pita to use, imho!

your also able to go into sample edit mode and used extract function. This will allow you to extract your highlighted sections and create as a new sample and assign to pads

don't use autochop.

well I was practicing on claps, sometimes I sample a bodhran or other percussion instruments. I just tried the combine function and seems to get the job done. So for now I'll use autos-slice and combine.
