This is how I work with Ableton. I put the whole sample into one clip, set a one bar loop and then move the loop around, change the start point of the loop until I find a part I like. Then duplicate the clip, same thing with the next clip until I've worked through the whole sample. You end up with little grooves that you wouldn't find with regular sample chopping.

I'm about to grab the 2023 chops. Your chop packs are great for making the music i like and when I stumble on to samples you've used in a video and/or album I get really excited.

@mistahmath5063 5 месяцев назад

I tend to do this technique in FL studio to. Just bang out some drum loop. Put those in the sequenser and then just drag the full sample into the sequenser, hover with the mouse over the waveform and just use the scroll-wheel to toggle back and forth to find a nice sample. Make a cut and then just proceed like that until I have the pieces I want.

Also, that sample MD is working with, from the song “You’ll Know when You Get There needs that strong bass note to fall on the one. The pickup notes need to start on the upbeat of 4. If done that way, it will fall nicely on the drum loop. Imho, the way MD is chopping it, over the drum loop, has lost the groove. If we were all in the room discussing this, I’m sure I could convince him to try it.
