The Beat Conductor wrote:3 more questions...

1) When your chopping, do you make the drums first or the beat first?

2) When your listening to records, do you sample little things as you go along and put them all together at the end, or do you sample one part that catches your attention and just start chopping?

3) Does anybody chop in SoundForge,...TIPS?

1) it's all a matter of preference. for me, sometimes the sample leads the track, meaning i make the drums according to the sample and sometimes the drum lead the track. it all depends on how you hear things.

2) again, this is according to what you hear and like, there is no one answer for this.

3) I never used SF. i use recycle and audacity

range
sample 1 0-32
sample 1 33-65
sample1 66-97
sample 1 98-127


its worth a try

I saw you or somebody, post this as an answer to another question... not sure I am following correctly. Would this yeild 4 "zones" then? Please correct me if I am understanding this wrong.
4 "zones" is not much to work with but it is still a cool idea.

i tried this exactly as youe wrote it and nothing happened. i'm not sure if i followed you correctly.

how are you using 16 levels/velocity to chop it??

and when you layer the sample with the same sample, are you using the exact same sample, or multiple copies of the same sample (Sample1a, sample1b, sample1c, sample1d)?

it works better with long samples. it will chop it in each row of pads. if it don't work adjust the range numbers............This guy on Illmusiz post it...

I prefer to chop samples in Recycle aswell. Have been since day one.

ive been using recycle for a few months to, but i still hope thet add zoning

I do. I dunno if these are tips, but here goes:

(1) Sound Forge has a built-in "Auto-Detect Peaks" function, that performs the same function as ReCycle - you set a sensitivity threshold, and it will regionalize the sample into smaller pieces or hits (You don't get the associated midi file though).

(2) Once you have regionalized everything, you can do a bulk-extract by using the "Extract Regions" function. This lets you quickly save all of the regions as individual samples.

(3) If you select/highlight a section of a sample, you can then just drag the selected portion in to the work space to 'copy' it to a new sample. So if you single out a snare drum from a loop, just drag that portion to an empty area of the work space and then save it. Chopped!

Good lookin on the sound forge tip. I'll try that leter on

went to target, they only hadone, it was 35$, went to sears, they had hte sameone, went to best buy, had hte same one, whats up!
