hi guys :d
new to the forum, so a big hello first and foremost and i've been doing some heavy searching and reading the last week
a few questions if you don't mind.
1. say i have a break, in this case the funky mule 1 from bourbon breaks website, after i've imported the break into my editor (beat creator) do i need to find a loop point first or do i just chop up the break into individual slices making sure there's no clicks/pops between the hits. the reason i ask is that when i do find a loop within the break and export the (groove/wavs) then import to fl studio the groove never seems to be 1/2/4 bars in length. is this right ? i think i might be missing something with regards to the bpm's not sure
2. when cutting up the funky mule, the first kick has a long silence until the next hit (snare) do i want to keep that silence? is this the drummer's groove that i'm trying to capture ?
3. do you eq the break before chopping it up or do i want to get each slice and treat it individually
4. probably a stupid question but can you ever cut too precisely ? what i mean is creating to many cuts/slices
5. for any other fellow beat creator/fl studio users , do you have any tips advice for using these programs and getting the slices/groove into fl studio in a quick way. ive been currently using fl studio's fpc program to organise my hits and also importing the midi file (groove) via fpc.
massive thanks
take it easy :d
