Is it the "Find Best Soft Start" function in the trim window?
Program/Sounds->Edit Sound->Best St (Soft Key 2)

Give up the trick or suffer from a disease called stingyvitas.you won't be able to make beats and your breath'll smell like Roger Linn's

ROTFLMAO
Vailixi 3.50 trims samples in real time. Trimming samples in real-time>any trimming 'tricks'. Any user can chop pretty darn fast after doing it for a while, and there are NO Mp's that can chop the way programs like Recycle can.

I tried the reason/recycle thing and hated the overall feeling of making beats or chopping and drawing beats with a mouse. recycle is nice I just hated pc beat making. even if you was to chop a sample in recycle you still have to sample each chop into/back into the mpc and trim the end of each one.

Sup mang!
I use recycle w/ASR-10 & my 3k and it's the shiZ! Def don't have to do any chopping once it's out of recycle. Not to get the ends right, not for anything.
Recycle 2.0 directly dumps to the ASR-10 via MIDI.
With the 3K I do one of two things:
1. Export the sample slices as WAV. files and convert them to SND.
2. (preferred method) Export the sample slices as akai AKP. files which MPCEditor V.2 can turn into 3k readable programs. :)
I'm rockin the internal zip like you firework. So i just put my zips in my USB zip drive and transfer samples, and/or programs by the boatload.

I would suggest experimenting with the 'stretch' feature in Recycle if u aren't satisfied w/the endings. I usually leave it at %40(default) but some people i know like to put it all the way to %100.

Definitive hypocrites. Both of you.

If your 'FAM' was so tight knit, you would only ask your 'FAM' for information when you needed it correct? ???

And if I follow that logic, I should be able to check your profiles & see that you've never sought advice, or asked a single question on this forum, right?

Now, let me see if I understand this correctly.

The two of you come here seeking knowledge, while at the same time (in PureP's case in big bold letters) talking about 'tricks' that u can only share with ur...*Yawn*

Well, I have only one thing to say to that:

SHUT UP AND BUY IT :!:
