If you have it set to play x and you haven't set a start or end point you won't hear anything.

Peace.

yeah i was trying to chop that way and once i get to zone edit and i have my zone there isnt a button to hit to cut it into a pad. maybe the guy was right who posted above that this can only be done on the XL?

if i find out how after looking through the manual i will post it up here.

When you are in zone edit,you can select after/before(whatever) the zone.But if you don't have a start and end point you're playing from 0 to 0.If that makes sense.If it doesn't read up on page 123.Actually reading 121-131 wouldn't hurt either.


Peace.

hey thanks to all that helped ......but i got it the only thing is that it takes to long on the classic....so i pulled up sound forge and the pc and looked around and came across auto region..witch does the same thing as re-cycle.....and i used the mpc-editor to make a program

but my question is which one is better sound or re-cycle because sound forge scliced it but not all that good i still haft to tweak it a lil bit

I use SoundForge 8 and i love it.If you're not sampling like 30 seconds just region it yourself.Like 10 seconds or less is easy as hell to region manually.Give it a shot.

Hit the other play button and it'll play what you have highlighted or pull up the regions list.(i think the shortcut is alt+2)Or go to view and select the regions list.


Peace.

I usually just chop whatever i feel,save em to zip and load them up.Sometimes i get a little carried away though and can have ALOT of chops.That's when you have to decide what to keep and what to discard.Well.maybe not discard because you can always use it on another track but,that's up to you.


Peace.

yo about your screen blanking out i had that happen to me before. mine stayed blank forever. that is until i asked my pops and he told me all LCD screens have a contrast adjustment, and yours is probably loose. that's all the info i can give though because i didn't get to see him do it. so moral of the story.... adjust the contrast of your lcd screen
