Slice multiple tracks to Sampler velocity layers/zones

[petermarchione]

Hi all,

I am currently producing a massive, layered drum sample library recorded in a great sounding space with 25 mics in other sampler formats but would also love to create an Ableton Drum Rack out of it.

Is there any way to slice a multitrack project and automap them to separate layers/zones from within the program? I need to have one master track that dictates the slicing for every channel e.g the direct mic on the snare shall also decide the slice positions for the overhead recordings of the same drum.

Anyone done this internally in Ableton Suite 9 or do I need to create a working Kontakt bank first and import it? If so; is there any convenient way to get converted Kontakt stuff into Drum Racks?

Cheers!/
