chopped sample volume problem. Help!

ok when i record a sample from vinyl, the volume seems fine. Then i chopped them up into sliced samples and create a program. once i do that the chopped samples volume is lower than the original so when i drop a drum pattern, you can hardly hear the sample. is there anything im doing wrong here?

Converting into Sliced Samples only takes the left channel of a stereo sample. That could be the reason.

so what should u recommend i do? just 16 regions?

I think you can Extract each chopped region manually (in the Edit menu), that will preserve the stereo sample, it's just tedious.

in the trim mode.....you can choose each sample as its been chopped...ex, sample01-1, sample01-2, etc. and click edit underneath the screen on each of those chops and scroll with the toggle to normalize and select do it....do this for each chop of the sample ...and itll raise the volume of each

hey thanks a lot guys for the replies. they worked! one more question, why is my sample only coming out of my left speaker?

Interesting solution

Did you check what was the actual problem? Do you use a stereo sample? Did you look at the waveforms for each channel in the Trim view? What do they look like after you sliced the sample?

^^^its just a straight like with a little bumps here and there. no actual "wave."

In both channels or only one?

^^^just one.

Then do the math. No data on one channel = no signal on one of your outs. I would check what actually goes into your MPC, if your cabling is correct etc.
