Whatever your RAM/CPU allows. I don't think there is a limit to how deep you can go.

I also like the fact that with Drum Racks, it's almost like each slice has it's own audio track which you can fold and unfold. That way I can add delay or whatever I want to individual slices. There is a method to the madness. That's something that can't really be done with Sampler. It doesn't have multiple outs. It's kinda funny when you think about it. NNXT has multiple outs.


If I want to pitch a sample up and down in a track, I may use Simpler, or a bunch of Simplers in an instrument track.

kb420... In west Philadelphia born and raised?

[quote="v00d00ppl"][quote="Jesse"]Jeff is using slice too, in that case he's taking different parts out of a longer sample and assigning them to specific keys (sometimes you don't need every sample sliced out for you. Here's a nice Simple Delay preset he made for adding ambience to samples:

And here's a new free album of his, all made in Live on the tour bus:

that video was dope, only thing i don't get about it is how is he keeping the samples synced to the bpm of the song???

Chop small and make one preset for the first break or loop you are gonna sample and tweak the asdr envelopes.

Make another instance of sampler and chop the other sounds you will mix it with. Play accordingly and play to the metronome. Thats how i get down.

thanks!!! I'll try that for sure!
