How to Slice a Lot!

[zvon]

Many of Memory Collection 16 samples are long as I've often kept bits of dialogs complete in order to keep their natural flow. Sometimes, shorter part(s) may be needed and extracting them from the longer samples in a classic audio editor will do the trick. But an interesting option is to use a slicer app, or a sampler with a slicing function.

These apps will automatically or manually cut any sample in slices. Each slice is assigned to a single specific key or pad of a MIDI controller. The slices can then be triggered individually and retain their original pitch.

In this video, I am demonstrating 2 examples of this using the Logic Pro sampler. A touch of reverb has been added.

Slices are created automatically based on the sensitivity slider and can then be adjusted manually.
