Peace, yall
If any of you have used older MPs (particularly the 2000xl), there was a feature on the sample edit page that was called “Insert Sound”, which p much allowed you to add a sound ontop of the waveform (sample that’s being edited). Is this possible on the Live/X/Touch?

Sounds like layering, such as a bass drum with a high hat, but want to make sure I know what you're looking to do first.



In a way it is layering, but you’re actually changing the sample itself by adding another sound ontop of that sample. This video describes what I mean:

One, X, Live, grid mode, highlight the pad and nudge forward a few ticks (tc off) or shift button while nudging (more control than “pocket” shyt).

Insert sound is destructive, nudging is non-destructive.

IMHO, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS stay non-destructive until you absolutely have to go destructive and even then try to find the least destructive way to manipulate your samples if possible. If not, then flowers it, no way out, destroy shyt it is.

Always back up the original in 2 separate places on 2 separate media if/when possible.
