What's easier for making chop up sample beats? An MPC or a program like Reason?

[Professor K.]

This is exactly what I used to do to flip samples, but the hardest part for me was getting it to loop smoothly. I was either hit or miss with that shyt.

It really takes time to get it right. For me, I was better at seeing the waves than hearing the loops so I would just read the sample I need and chop it accordingly

Two ways: one is in the sequencer, the other directly into an instrument

i don't have reason 7 yet but recycle makes chopping samples easy as hell.

if you are looking to buy reason 7 tho you can check the properller heads forum as users are able to sale(transfer) their licenses keys..

Started making beats on reason 5 and it was a bytch to chop samples that's why I copped Maschine

outside of chopping, the NN19 and NNXT in reason can both be used like the asr 10

you can sample a lot of ways in reason. the 2 samplers i just mentioned, redrum, dr rex/recycle, kong. there are youtube vids for each way

problem is unless you have 7 you gotta chop elsewhere first

I still use reason 4 and I chop up my samples in acid or protools and usually play them out on the nnxt.

Yeah it's real fast now because of the recycle intergration, still maschine pad copy is faster.

So using Recycle with Reason, how do I chop up a sample?

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

For me FL Studio gets the job done.
It's at least 3x faster for chopping samples than the Roland MV-8800!!!

 

[TEKBEATZ]

FL studio is awsome for chopping samples

Recycle the software or Recycle built into Reason?

Recycle the software.

Recycle the software.

See now, Recycle doesn't support .mp3 files, so your going to need a third software like audacity to convert it into a .wav file and then pick out the sections you want to use. Actually, i would just use audacity for straight forward chopping.

This is why I said upgrading to reason 7 is a must.

Sorry I need to explain myself a lil more.
I have Audacity to convert files and Recycle to chop them up, but how do I successfully upload them to my Kong Drum Machine on Reason?
I cut up the samples on Recycle(Using the pen tool), save the file, then open it up using Dr Rex and Kong, but for some reason each pad on the Kong isn't playing how I want them to when I cut them up on Recycle.

So when you load a .rex file it plays on Dr. Rex, but in Kong you can't control the loop or sequence?
