nice vid, the beginners should get a lot out of it. i like what you do with the hats and T.C. i start my beats the same way by laying down some straight hi hats first.

Good work, thanks for this.

The part about exporting regions in Soundforge is really useful, I didn't know about that feature. It would've saved me hours (well, days!) of chopping stuff up

yo whats good sumdho

i like that thing you did with your sound forge...but how did you transfer your sample that had different regions to your mpc and had the stretched across the pads like you did?

Absolutely fantastic mate, I have learned more watching those vids than I ever did reading the manual.

For novices like me video's like these that you and pep's like Classic (in other threads) are putting up really make all the difference and speed up our progress.

Thanks a million and keep em comming!!! :)

"but how did you transfer your sample that had different regions to your mpc and had the stretched across the pads like you did?"


In soundforge...go to

1. Tools->Auto Region...this detects beats and adds markers in your sound file at the chop points...you can choose different settings depending on the audio.
2. Tools->Extract Region...this saves the regions you detected before as individual audio files.
3. Copy the chopped files across to the mpc and make a program for them.

"I have learned more watching those vids than I ever did reading the manual."

Thanks...that was my goal. :D

Well you achieved it mate :) Also really enjoyed the real care free laid back attitude at the end "well hopefully you learned something and enjoyed it....... if not................. well there you are" pure genius!!!

Although miles apart the English and the Southern Hemisphere countries do share very similar humour / laid back attitudes. When it comes do sports though, well different matter I guess, lol.

Back on subject, I would be keen to know a little more about what main features you use on sound forge for getting good original samples onto the MPC. If I could pester you for a couple of little tips that would be fab.

Cheers again, great vids!!!

P.S back off subject :) took your advice on my "keyboard" thread and bought a Korg Triton Classic. Only got it todayand haven't had much of a play but it seems like a great piece of kit already :)
