MPC cutting off the end of the sample :S

Its something Ive been noticing alot lately.

When I take a sample that I chopped in Cubase (or any other program), put it on a zip disc, and re-open my sample on my MPC, it cuts off a few miliseconds of my sample and it makes my loops sound kinda clumsy and it destroys the "flow" of my beat

Is there a way to prevent this??

Holla back

go into "trim" and make sure nothing is clipped

Probably just the instinctive rawness of the MPC, you need to give the sample length. If you're only using 1.3 seconds of sample, take 2.0 seconds to the MPC so that you can trim it and get it fitting right.

Otherwise i've found the same thing happens - you get little gaps n sh*t in your beat

Use acid pro man to edit your samples (like I thought you did!) and see if it still happens. Also like previously stated if the sample is 10 seconds long record it at like 12 seconds and then clean it up in the mpc or if none of these work you can always buy a sledgehammer and SMASH the mpc.

you need to add some space at the end. you sample some air, go to the trim screen and trim it to a length of (example) 1500samples. . insert this 'air' sample at the end of the loop. then move the looppoint to XXXXX-1500 samples. i think this will work.

I got you. Peep:

Like Multiman said, you need to add length, but I wouldn't use air as was suggested, 'casue that still has sound. In Cubase, add some SILENCE to the beginning and end of each sample. That way it'll be easier on the MPC to determine where the waveform starts.

it doesnt matter what you add at the end because the mpc isnt going to play it. but M.P.C is right, silence can be better. just remember to make the silence sample of a lenght you can remember to make the subtraction easy.
