MG Thanks man big time.......this video is truly an eye opener and also the explanation makes sense I went back and looked at the first video and it all added up now, because I'll be honest i was a little confused when i watched your previous video for the first time. it's definitely something I have to practice. On that note I'm a look out for serato next time I'm in the market for plugins.
i'll be honest the random feature is what make serato worth it. but nothing replaces just listening to the whole song. develop the workflow. serato has only 16 pads and i found that limiting.
I tested out the workflow and man........All i have to say is thank you........it's not just finding a tempo and chopping a loop it's actually chopping the loop to your feel.
You are literally the best teacher for this kind of stuff, my man. Can you show classic sample chopping methods with all the other plugins and DAWs? Poise (Windows only, but still dope as hell), Maschine plugin, Ableton with Push 1/2 (Simpler), etc... ? You'd open up worlds for people who might not be fans of Studio One... thanks as always, MG!
Straight up it took me watching first video about three times before I got it. But I didn’t get frustrated I just listened to the teacher never doubting him until I learned his method. That is the problem with our younger homies’ they want it easy and DONT want to do the work. Your way is definitely better because who wants that nasty ass amateur cutoff that sounds nasty asf. Until I buy Serato I will continue to use your Impact xt method as there is always a method behind the madness if you stick with something someone is trying to teach you. Keep up the good work your a very good instructor and explain things very well.
The same thing you described here can be done in FL Studio. The way I do it is I manually chop my samples in Edison but you can auto chop too I just don't, drag or copy the sample selection to fruity slicer with auto dump off and then get to work after I've adjusted my Tempo Etc. I do it for the exact reason you mentioned here because Loop markers are inhibiting
Thanks for the chopping knowledge. This will help me with my Ableton & MPC 2.0 chopping workflow. I may eventually add Studio One 4 to the workflow. Ableton needs that chords detect & an update of there piano roll.
Thanksgiving black friday....rewind back many moons ago, this kid just open a credit card at Guitar Center and purchase Akai MPC 1000. Just geeky and smart enough to install JJ O.S. but confused as hell with alot of heart and passion. And a bunch of crates of vinyls just dying to be discovered. Fast forward to 2018..to this exact moment, MG describing a way of sampling?? No! Its the only way i know. Im having a wierd deja vu epiphany. SPOILERS: on the MPC 1000, yes i have to pitch the sample down to tempo to each pad. Now u have end point problems. What i did i was then individually go in each pad and pitch it again slower. So in away it smooths out the end points and i can connect the pads when i record. Very tedious but it was the only way i know. Thanks for brining that lovely memory of my younger years MG.
Thank you for clarifying this way of chopping. (No more fixed chops). I just bought serato sample and it's so easy I feel like I'm cheating. (Not really.)
It felt like that for me too the first time I used serato sample. The feature I love and have been missing for years is the instant chop transpose with time stretch. Plus you have the % time that you can manipulate, the possibilities are endless and fast!
You don't have to hold it if you raise the sustain and release for the sample. Serato for me was the find samples joint. lock the parts I like then find something else. But to be honest now that impact has a shit ton of pads now I can just do like I've always done just listen to the whole song and slide the start point over. If sample one let you duplicate the sample I could really do things since it has that loop function like I used to do with the sp1200. its not that bad just its crazy to have to drop the same sample over and over again losing the starting point
Yeah man, I try not to use more than 8 slices on average...so Serato does more than I need, but since studio one is moving this direction..they should go the whole way
I know where to download it I was just asking what the name of the song is. I went back through the video and found the name of it. As well I wouldn't of known how to grab this stuff if I never jumped in the IG live with ya. Thanks MG
Hey MG the Future... I understand your workflow. I was was pointing out an easier way to find your tempo and chop the whole sample for future use. Not the chops itself in the Impact. I'm not a machine/chopper pad guy. I mostly use loops so I need the whole sample. I was suggesting you to use auto slice with no auto fade, to make chops of transients. Then its very easy to find the loop, and the bounce these chunks into the final Chop -> a whole sample loop .... which can be dragged to your sample lib for future use. // THIS CAN BE DONE WITHOUT ANY FIXED GRID/TEMPO. Fixing the small chops so it can be playable is another thing, - a thing that im not "attacking" in your other video. I have a push with 64 pads, so micro chopping is not an isue when using playthru (however ableton). It can be difficult to explain some teqniques, expecially when english is not your mother tongue. I can make a video about sample chopping if this txt is not understandable :) All is good...still love your videos !! :)
I think the miss understanding is from the term “Chopping samples”. When people say “Chopping samples” they mean auto chop. What your referencing here is “Sample Flipping”. I think thats where people get mixed up.
Feel free to correct me if I’m tripping, but couldn’t you just use the “Follow Tempo” button inside of Impact XT to time stretch your sample to your projects tempo and then cut from there? Also, try chopping the sample inside of impact & then sending the audio from impact to its own audio track. After that set the audio track to follow the projects chord track. XT isn’t such a struggle version of Serato with the right mindset 🤫💪🏽
But to your point, follow tempo is lit ...it just doesn’t create nudge or shift, because it’s stretching the in between spaces now. If I’m doing dilla lo fi, I don’t want that. If I’m doing this new kanye stuff, I may. A good track to listen to is Bsd.u - B, when you hear that, this will all make sense
i probably made 10 beats in the first hr just playing around with the random chops. but even then i reverted back to just do it manually because the random chops stopped being so random. but just like studio one i wonder who beta tested the sampling functions lol. but no need for a through function if you raise the s & r. the biggest drawback to studio one right now is theres no global control over the pads and no way to select them all. its possible to do tho. i just have to fix the macro i did for v3 to work with 4.
Lol I literally thought this was the only way to chop lol.... being a mpc head I was taught by my older brothers to do it this way... I didn’t even know the name was called threw mode lol/.. but I can see y cats can get confused by watching the 1st vid and accustomed to the auto chop feature... great explanation thou... I guess imma original threw choppa 😂
agreed we are talking workflows...and what is better for what purpose. I think if there is a faster way, and the end result is the same then why go the long route?.....trains vs airplanes

Serato is gonna be lit, especially for speed. But having the “old” way in your tool belt, will be dope for lofi, dilla,9th moments
Its why we do it. Find nuggets not just a loop
I tested out the workflow and man........All i have to say is thank you........it's not just finding a tempo and chopping a loop it's actually chopping the loop to your feel.
welcome to the art of hip hop sampling

Yep, I taught how I did it in Maschine...sp...mpc..etc. it’s universal
I sold my push2 for studio one 4. I LOVE so4 but I really miss simpler from live10... ( the only thing i miss ^^)
Thanks for the chopping knowledge. This will help me with my Ableton & MPC 2.0 chopping workflow. I may eventually add Studio One 4 to the workflow. Ableton needs that chords detect & an update of there piano roll.
🙏🙏🙏
I got it on the first video with your pointing out beat slicing vs slicing in the middle of the beats/phrase.
Thanks for the clarification though.
🙏🙏🙏

I chop the same way you do bro
💪🏾💪🏾
good vid, well explained and on point
Another great video!! I learned this from your maschine sampling course. Course was good! Way better details in it. For a beginner as myself.
Gracias 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for clarifying this way of chopping. (No more fixed chops). I just bought serato sample and it's so easy I feel like I'm cheating. (Not really.)
Yessir, Serato is lit
It felt like that for me too the first time I used serato sample. The feature I love and have been missing for years is the instant chop transpose with time stretch. Plus you have the % time that you can manipulate, the possibilities are endless and fast!
Thank you bud!
That was a good clarification
So cool your also doing Studio One now M.G! Big up!
Ahh, for a season - lets see how it goes!
Cool stuff, ill be watching for sure! Here S1 and Reason get the most use at the moment..
Get your loop ,change your quantize 1/2 beat and split at grid .Drag and drop your chops
Lol..I don’t want fixed chops tho
Well done!
🙏
So in the MPC do i match the sample tempo with bpm?
I work very different in a mpc...I dont use time stretch. I pitch samples and tap tempo
@@MGTheFuture by multi tapping the button?
You don't have to hold it if you raise the sustain and release for the sample. Serato for me was the find samples joint. lock the parts I like then find something else.

Yeah man, I try not to use more than 8 slices on average...so Serato does more than I need, but since studio one is moving this direction..they should go the whole way
Serato Sample is a life changer, they need another sale though, i am strugglin on the $100 pricetag
Get the demo, sometimes they email half off deals
where did you find that Bulgarian song?
Some time ago, a good friend sent me some folders.
wow! You can imagine the dropped jaw I got listening to your tut about sampling and an old Bulgarian song being sampled :D. Great tute btw
Got you. Respect Da Process. #KeepBangin!
🙏🙏🙏
Great VIDEO just saw this and what ur saying is dead on no wonder some of the samples I used wasn't coming out right THANKS Dude
Where can I find this song? I wanna sample this
Check RUclips
I know where to download it I was just asking what the name of the song is. I went back through the video and found the name of it. As well I wouldn't of known how to grab this stuff if I never jumped in the IG live with ya. Thanks MG
oh! my bad... its all good

All is good...still love your videos !! :)
I got you
damn i been auto chopping this whole time, this was helpful
🙏🙏🙏
Man I already overspent... any brothers got a recommendation for something cheap or free that does what serato sampler does?
None. That’s the novelty of it tbh
I'm happy to get busy with Impact XL in the meantime, but it never hurts to ask.
True indeed
Hey MG. What other daws can mimic what Serato and Impact XT do thru mode sampling?
This tutorial can be done in any daw. Serato and abletons simpler is the only ones that do tthru
Dope.
Thanks!

I’m not recreating Serato, I’m recreating hip hop before those methods existed
But to your point, follow tempo is lit ...it just doesn’t create nudge or shift, because it’s stretching the in between spaces now. If I’m doing dilla lo fi, I don’t want that. If I’m doing this new kanye stuff, I may.

Appreciate the video mane. Struggle choppin explained lol
MG The Pearl Caster ...coming to a youtube near you lol
They should have made Recycle into a Vst
💯
Yea serato is a beast
semi beast lol... 32 pads would've made it beast
Serato took me to trans-daw millennial in a blink
i probably made 10 beats in the first hr just playing around with the random chops. but even then i reverted back to just do it manually because the random chops stopped being so random. but just like studio one i wonder who beta tested the sampling functions lol. but no need for a through function if you raise the s & r. the biggest drawback to studio one right now is theres no global control over the pads and no way to select them all. its possible to do tho. i just have to fix the macro i did for v3 to work with 4.
GrimeyNeedle it does have 16 pads
lol i meant 2 banks
Lol I literally thought this was the only way to chop lol.... being a mpc head I was taught by my older brothers to do it this way...

Well, having to explain it really gave me an “old head” moment 😭😭
Where's the first video
Debating on how to chop samples is like rolling a blunt; everyone does it differently but at the day the real question is...did you get high?
Bars
agreed we are talking workflows...and what is better for what purpose. I think if there is a faster way, and the end result is the same then why go the long route?.....trains vs airplanes
I got high off that ice t power record
That sample sound like cheese -- bur -- gerrrrrrrrr lol
💀
Take away from this video is, do what works for you!!!
I kinda caught your bouncy nuance
You a poet, you read between the lines 🙏
