its been a minute since i used a 2k. but i think its in the trim screen, then highlight the name of the sample and open window.

Just split your stereo sample in its 2 mono channels.

do that sheet before you even sample. Sample the left mono side if thats where the sample is best :!:

my bad if this has been answered already....

all you have to do is convert the sample to Mono inside your mpc. it will split the left and right channels. keep the channel with the melody u want.

this is the case with LOTS of music you may sample. If you're converting them to MONO inside your mpc, always check both channels (L/R) and choose the one that fits best with your beat. sometimes the left channel may have more...Guitar in it. sometimes the right may have a little more Drums in it. pick the best one for your beat.

hope that helps
