Author Post cliX- Newbie Registration Date: 09-06-2009 Posts: 5 Okay so first of, I started to learn producing this week so don't flame me for asking stupid questions. Anyway I just sliced out a bit from the amen break that I want to use together with some other drums. The problem is that when I add it to the step sequencer the break is much longer than the drums, so they don't fit together Is there any good way to adjust this? Maybe add the sample right into playlist or something? Thanks in advance!! 10-06-2009 01:02 CULTURE BOY v v v iv a record missing Registration Date: 12-01-2007 Posts: 1,415 Helpfulness rating:  slice the break in the fruity slicer. by the sound of it your slicing a bit of the wav __ www.myspace.com/cultureboydnb soundcloud 10-06-2009 03:29 cliX- Newbie Registration Date: 09-06-2009 Posts: 5 quote: Originally posted by CULTURE BOY slice the break in the fruity slicer. by the sound of it your slicing a bit of the wav I am slicing it with fruity slicer, it's just that the break is longer than the normal "step sequencer beat" if you know what I mean 10-06-2009 08:43 Zugzwang Doin' it for the love Registration Date: 13-05-2009 Posts: 206 Helpfulness rating:  The Slicer can chop up breaks pretty well for drag-and-drop functionality (maybe not as good as going into Wavelab for example and doing it yourself, but considering the Slicer is practically point and click..), I'm pretty impressed with it. Anyways, try this. Open up your Fruity Slicer and drop/load up your amen sample. Depending on your settings, the Slicer might already have chopped up the break and dumped it into the piano roll. If not, select the Slicing button on the plugin interface and medium or sharp auto-slicing. Afterwards, if it auto-dumps the sliced amen into the piano roll, go into the piano roll, hold Ctrl and press A to select everything, and delete it (or just leave the first part of it and delete the rest, if you don't feel comfortable putting the steps in the piano roll yourself). To really make sure the pattern doesn't exceed the 4 or 8 bar limit or whatever your step sequencer is set to, the best thing to do is draw the notes in yourself, however, and make it congruent with your other drums. 10-06-2009 12:35 CULTURE BOY v v v iv a record missing Registration Date: 12-01-2007 Posts: 1,415 Helpfulness rating:  not sure what ya mean. have u cut the end of the break off so it fits with your break? __ www.myspace.com/cultureboydnb soundcloud 10-06-2009 13:01 cliX- Newbie Registration Date: 09-06-2009 Posts: 5 Nevermind about this...
