MPC5000 SAMPLE CHOPPING WORKFLOW TUTORIAL. MY FORMULA FOR SPEED SAMPLE EDITING AND CHOPPING ON THE MPC 5000.
These are the steps I take to easily get a sample on beat and ready to chop.
Done in this order it saves me more time then manually detecting the tempo of the sample and then time-stretching it.
The order is:
1. Loop your sample ,making a perfect loop saves you time when you do your chopping later.
*This step (Looping The Sample) is optional you can skip it and just go into step 2,but I think it`s worth doing to save you time later*
2. Adjust the tune of your sample while playing your sequence. Drums/percussion are easiest to follow.
Do not worry about the tune/pitch you end up with,just get the sample to sync on beat.
3. Now Pitch-shift the sample *Pitch-shift allows you to adjust the tune/pitch with out effecting the length*
4. Now chop the sample,I find the best way is to chop in quarter bar sections.
Four sections for every one bar,so if it`s a 2 bar loop chop it into 8 parts and so on*
