I use it in FL Studio. I use it a lot for chopping drum breaks or even getting a loop to fit in time to the bpm i’m working with. I think it’s pretty dope but may not be worth it full price. It goes on sale frequently I think I copped it for $40
Bet....yea waiting for a sale

Do y'all play by ear? Do y'all use a plug in? Do y'all already Kno how to play keys etc?
all types of ways... ear, plugin sometimes depending on what i'm using I get it from the sampler like with serato sampler.

I still do like to test my ear then compare what a plugin says. the ableton tuner plugin can be very hit or miss. with bass notes I go up octaves for clarity if I can't get the root from the sampler I'm using. then go back down once I figure it out. usually sounds butta.

Interesting. What daw do u use it in?

Is serrato dope?
serato sampler is fun easy and intuitive. it gets me sampling faster than the native samplers in ableton. it keeps the sound quality good even when you alter the sample. I would sometimes have issues with that a lot when pitching and lowering with ableton samplers and dealing with finding the right settings to minimize quality loss.

Yep, also with real-time pitchshifting in FL Slicer to.
But i'm not happy with only 16 slices though

studio one lets you right click a wave and find the chords.
if you then play something over it (midi), and right click that you can find the key of it

outisde of studio one, i just play all the keys until one of them sounds good played over and over on the sample. then i go thru that key's scale to see if its all good
if not find the next one

yea right click audio track and say detect chords and the chords will be on the top of wav.

then play something in tune with a midi instrument, right click that and say find key or something like that and the key will be in the bottom right of the screen
