Is there a benefit to have recycle if i have soundforge ?

[CampO]

im just wondering if there is a real benefit in having both of them because im not great at sampling and when i do try sampling and making a track it seems to get very dull and boring after about 40 seconds of the same repetitiveness i heard recycle is great for choping samples is this the key to help me livin up my songs or if you have any other tips i should do when the songs gettin borin plz lemme No

You can pretty much do the same thing with both programs....though recycle's main function is chopping samples so it is a lil bit more user friendly in that dept. One thing I like more about recycle is that you can enter a bar count and it will set the bpm for you. Also recycle is best used with reason because when you chop samples into different parts it saves the pieces as aiff files which you can load into some of the instruments on reason.

you need both. there is lotta thing you cant do without an audio editor like soundforge and thing you cant do without recycle. Audio editing and loop chopping is two different things.

main thing is the ability in recycle to export to a format like...Soundfont..SF2...and the normal recycle file...which if you use Reason or Fruityloops with the Sound font plugin you have ready made chopped banks instead of individual wavefiles to load.....but to back up ACE I agree that you definitely need to have both there's a lot more fX and I like the interface in Soundforge for audio editing.....

you don't need recycle or soundforge to make good sample based beats. i'm sure there are still alot of people on here chopping samples in the mpc edit window which is a whole hell of a lot less powerful then either of the programs you are talking of

Recycle is basicly for drums while SF is general wav editor. Both can do scsi dumps, but recycle saves time since it slices by itself. Because recycle slices instances by itself, it would have no efficiency to let the proggy slice up a phrase loop ( a continues signal ).

Also, with recycle I can instantly fill up the sampler and set up a program in a sec.
