But.....should chopping be done fast?? Not in my skool
Very good point. Thats exactly why I use soundforge to do my chops, I can magnify the waveform to its fullest extent to make sure I chop on the zero point, totally eliminating any clicks. And if its impossible to find a zero point(on stereo chops for example) i can simply do the tinyest of fades to get the zero point myself.
I have found auto chops to be a bit haphazard, especially on stereo chops. I only chop by hand. Or should I say eye. I know some clicks can easily be lost by decreasing the attack, but others cant, and why try to fix a broken sample, when you can have an unbroken sample in the first place. Recyle can be very unreliable when it comes to getting clean chops.
I dont know about maschine, Ive never used it.
Another great feature of Reason 5 is the automatic self contain of samples, the amount of old reason tracks I did and forgot to self contain the samples, and then I have to spend an hour trying to dig up all the old sounds used, is a fucking nightmare. Props to propellerhead for that one, saved me hours, literally.
