💠💠💠 This is an early BETA version of Amigo that is coming soon! 💠💠💠
Overview of techniques at the bottom of the description.👇
I know i’ve gone over this 1000 times already but I wanted to do a complete walkthrough in one place so I can sent people here if they ever have trouble understanding this topic.
I know lots of people also chop with audio but I think there are a lot of benefits to Midi chopping once you get your hear around the basics. I hope this helps. 😊
I’m going to hit the ground running after the break & have lots of plans coming in hot! 🚀✌️

The Techniques
Individual Slice Techniques
(1) Equal Slices
- Slice the break at even intervals to include all the hits (16th slices in this case)
(2) Manual Slice Hits
- Manually slice by setting markers at all the transient for the hits.
(3) Equal Slices with tight kicks & snares
- Use equal slices for all the hits but move the markers for the kicks and snares to be tight to the hits.
Long Slice Techniques
(1) Equal Long Slices
- Evenly slice the break into larger sections like 1/4 notes. The break must be pitched or time stretched to your BPM. You can also let the break slices run through one & another to the end of the whole sample.
(2) Custom Long Slices
- This is the classic Photek technique where you chose you slice points. The break must also be pitched or time stretched to your BPM. Often the Kick, Snare & Shuffle.
