Yes, an "autoslicer" woudl be definitively great, with autosync/stretch/looping/keymapping...

What beatslicer do you guys (or girls) use in LIve at the moment ?
_ Shortcirctuit free is excellent, but only 2 voices polyphony,
_ Arcdev H4xxor is fine too (but sometimes a bit buggy at the moment? and simple & effective, but not "bloated" of features)...
There isn't so many Beatslicers here...

do any reaktor ensemble SLicers read mp3 files, and what reaktor ensembles do you recommend for slicing?
thanks

To be honest, I don't know if Reaktor loads mp3s at all. I never work with mp3s.

Beatslicer2 from the R5 New Additions resembles the basic functionality of pHATmatic PRO or INTAKT, but also adds some nice soundshaping options.

I have heard that No host (or sampler/slicer) makes "direct" use of mp3 files. In order to read them, they have to convert mp3 to wav before using it. That is what Live does, and many others.

Who? What? Which host is this thread about?

i finally gave up waiting for my favorite host to include a useful slicer/editor/arranger and bought LiveSlice

i already had Beatslicer/Quantizer and used it enough to realize it wasn't all I was hoping for

LiveSlice is all that and more

now if my host does add a smart slicing tool, I'm fairly sure it won't have all I've got now

LiveSlice is one of those apps that you know is good but hardly anyone talks about it at length, i know shaman uses it and rm, but i wish someone would really talk about it in depth, i don't even have any paticular questions just would like to add more to my collection of insights

I can't Believe they Didn't Add an Audio Sample Slicer !!!!
