Sample / Slicing question

Post by cmreal04 » Fri Mar 27, 2009 11:36 pm

Is it possible to sample a piece of audio from vinyl,slice the sample to a drum rack, in the same type way I see them do with mpc's ?

I think I've figured it out at least partially. I've bin living in the dark ages 8O this seems to good to be true.

Now someone please tell me ( not looking to cause a heated debate) what's so special about the mpc. I can slice my sample into as many slices as I want, adjust the slice length in a matter of seconds, ahhh yeah so besides the live aspect what's the point of the mpc if you own Live.

maybe that you can do that stuff without a computer is the most appealing.
kind of like using a software synth emulator vs. using the synth being emulated.

Yeah I get what your saying. I read a lot of post where people here own both live and a pad controller, but talk about getting an mpc, just seems like throwing money away at that piont, unless your doing live shows.
