![]() ![]() seriously, why force a user to do this in another process?. WHY do software "samplers" not sample? recycle should be able to record/edit start/endpoints of snippets. which is why recycle deserves an overhaul. Uptight, rex format is VERY useful, there's no question about it. Mp3, i will see if i can't figure out what's wrong w/ the slices from the 1k.i dream of making my beat in the mpc and then exporting the samples into SC1 and triggering them via the programmed midi from the original track on the mpc.that is, for programs that don't make much use of qlink or specific program settings. now i can just stay zoomed in pretty deep and preview single slices - a LOT more elegant than my previous method. i thought i'd tried that but you're right, it plays the current slice. Thank you all for your comments, very helpful and thoughtfulĭjconrad, especially thanks for the "up" cursor comment. I would imagine it would work the same with MPC editing software as well. I was trying it last night dragging slices directly from Audiofinder into Battery cells and it worked a treat. You can chop and drag new wav files out of any audio file without having to go through the Recycle process of inserting slice points, saving as a Rex file, exporting etc. Saying all this I have just been demoing Audiofinder from Iced Audio which looks incredible. I don't worry too much about getting the trimming exactly right because I can tidy this up in the MPC or Battery later on, but once you get used to it you should be able to get a zoom view you're comfortable with and your chops will be spot on after a while. The way I chop is to have my left hand on the keyboard arrow keys and my right on the mouse using the pencil tool to manually chop the slices. I agree Recycle isn't perfect, but a few keyboard shortcuts that keep me going are the arrow keys which move you from slice to slice, the up arrow plays the current slice.Īpple+J to go to current cursor/ slice position.Īpple+click to zoom in, Apple+Alt+click to zoom out.īear in mind I'm on a mac so it will be ctrl on a PC I imagine. worse yet i can't believe i used it so much - but i guess it's a matter of making due with what i had. i can't believe i recommended it to so many people back in the day. I'm amazed by how frustrated i quickly got with this software. i don't know how many bars this 47 second sample of percussion is, and i don't care cuz i'm only out to get some oneshots. ![]() Third: the whole procedure of inputting how many bars/beats your sample is ("grid" based chopping, or "zoning") is bullsh!t. how can i play a single, current slice so i can edit by ear (since zooming in is such a pain in the ass?) instead, it appears i can only do this via mouse.again, if someone has keyboard shortcuts etc that i'm missing, be a hero. i searched for hotkeys/keyshortcuts in recycle but didn't find any. i'm sitting here trying to control this thing exclusively via keyboard and it won't let me. without this, zooming in to find the precise transient in the waveform is a tedious task and worse yet.Ģnd: unintuitive playback. if there's a hotkey for this, PLEASE someone tell me. seriously, that's the FIRST step in pissing me off - i hate any editing platform that doesn't horizontal zoom on mousewheel. this is a big sample, i wanted to take 64+ slices from it, of various shapes and sizesįirst: i was horrified to remember that Recycle doesn't allow horizontal zooming via mousewheel. so instead i just import the wav and decide to chop it on Recycle. but when i could do it on the mpc there was just no point in using it.įlash forward, it's today, and i tried to use recycle because for some reason Short Circuit doesn't accept waves that i chop from the mpc1000. i used to use it daily, i liked it good enough. I haven't used recycle in earnest since 2006, when i used it exclusively (until the mpc1000 got CHOP/ZONE). ![]()
