MPC5000 SAMPLE CHOPPING WORKFLOW TUTORIAL. MY FORMULA FOR SPEED SAMPLE EDITING AND CHOPPING ON THE MPC 5000
.
These are the steps I take to easily get a sample on beat and ready to chop.
Done in this order it saves me more time then manually detecting the tempo of the sample and then time-stretching it.

The order is:

1. Loop your sample ,making a perfect loop saves you time when you do your chopping later.
*This step (Looping The Sample) is optional you can skip it and just go into step 2,but I think it`s worth doing to save you time later*

2. Adjust the tune of your sample while playing your sequence. Drums/percussion are easiest to follow.
Do not worry about the tune/pitch you end up with,just get the sample to sync on beat.

3. Now Pitch-shift the sample *Pitch-shift allows you to adjust the tune/pitch with out effecting the length*

4. Now chop the sample,I find the best way is to chop in quarter bar sections.
Four sections for every one bar,so if it`s a 2 bar loop chop it into 8 parts and so on*

  • I got somme stupied questions. I have my beat made up in my mpc 5000 in song mode. Not that perfect but sounds ok to me right now. First question how do i make it now wav*file or mp3*file or somthing. Get it on my computer perfectley sounding burn it or whatever? Does mpc makes it somehow for me or i need another device like some tascam recording mixing device? And how to have some real dope effects on the beat. It would be really helpful if someone will post some video on that.

  • How to record perfect 4 bars sample?

  • @mgdadon124 sample snitches get stiches!

  • hey mate nice work, love this machine just cant afford it yet, ey where do you get your drum samples from? im after some nice 90's style kicks and snares man. any good sites to download?

  • FYI, you could also go into PROGRAM MODE and pitch it up and down in realtime.

  • @xspidermanplayax no, its all about the sound
