Thank you for passing on your knowledge, chopping drums have been my weak point! I really love your atmo/pad tutorial so much I've created my own template for sound design.
Thanks dude! It was what put me off from trying to produce dnb/jungle for the longest time due to the perceived difficulty of choppin. turns out, its not THAT complex (unless you want it to be) Have fun!
something neat i did for some old wip of mine, was i had a break that was pretty off grid, so i think i used something automated in logic, or maybe i did it by hand idr, but i used repitch stretching to snap all the notes to the grid and then when i chopped it, there was some interesting pitch movement that i wouldn't have gotten if i had either not done that or used a more modern algorithm. also logic has akaizer stretching built in (called tempophone), but sadly that's not available in sampler/quicksampler
Thank your for all the videos! I cannot find a video that would show whether you can play sampler in the way you would play simpler in the thru mode, when whatever slice you play it reaches the end and starts again, chocking the previous playing sample, so that you get a constant flow. It is crucial and the only thing that still keeps me using ableton. You showed that kind of a mode in the video about Amiga. Sorry if this was asked before. Would very much appreciate an answer.
Thank you for this. I think you are such a great teacher. Even a noob like me can understand. I just got an Akai MPC Live 2 retro to work on timing and this was very helpful in understanding sample manipulation to tempo. I have been watching your 2000xl videos a lot lately.
For sure! I think if you're largely pillaging breaks from solid sample packs you're getting things ready to go. If you're going the old old school route (sampling a funk break at the original BMP, or just getting a sample where you need to trim a bit) it can get a little more complex. nonetheless, always good measure to check the chops in the sampler and you may need to pull back on start / stop points for a few hits - but that will usually bubble up when you play back the break and can audibly hear clicks / pops
nice thanks .......the hardest thing for me is making a loop when there a no obvious transients ....i find Serato Sample works nicely in Bitwig ....i'll give slice to drum machine a try now 👍👍👍👍
cheers mate! interesting to hear on serato sample...i need to fire that up again, think i still have a key. let me know how the drum machine method goes!
@@Thought-Forms it's great ...i realized it's more powerful because you can add different effects to each chop but Serato is quick and easy for experimenting
But if I have an off-grid sample, when some of the transients are not perfectly aligned with the grid. Should I quantize the loop or just work with it as is?
When matching the sample to the 1 bar length on Linux, holding the alt key gives me the same symbol, but then when I drag the entire Bitwig window moves. I'm on a Linux system, but everything is set up as if it were windows. Might be a dumb question, but what respective key do I need to press to match my selected sample to the bar length? Or is there something in the keybind settings that you changed? I have the audio event mode on repitch and everything else works. Love ur vids btw, other than this small issue I've had I love Bitwig so far too!
Nvm, it was in my own settings lol, to anyone who may encounter this in the future on Linux Mint, the path is Windows > Behavior > 2nd to last option (special key to move and resize windows)
Cheers mate! Sitting down and just cranking out break standardizing is a great exercise. Ensures next time you make a tune you have breaks ready to go, love it :) Appreciate the added tips
👏Nice, i missed that. Thats what i was waiting for from you :))) Thank you! What also really would interest me is how you actually layer these chopped breaks with other drum samples in one of your own dnb tracks. And similar to that topic, some overview of most basic and common dn`b patterns and how to create them with choped breaks. There are some tutorials about that on youtube, but while i really like how you look at things and explain them, i really would dig to know what you have to say about that. 🙏
