whats good this is Trav from WeGotBeats.com and today I'm gonna show you how to chop samples
in FL Studio.
I'm gonna get straight to the point.
Now, what we have here is a sample that someone requested me to flip.
So we're gonna just go ahead and drag this in.
If you don't have a folder in your hard drive somewhere with just your tracks to sample
and chop.
I really recommend it.
Mine's all organized by year and date, so I can easily find it.
So we're gonna do this "Yes - Starship Trooper" alright.
And what I like to do, and what most people do in FL Studio is we use the Slicex.
You can come over here to insert and it will be in your plugins. if not you can go to more
plugins and it will load up a list and all you have to do is find it in here.
you can actually just type it in in FL Studio 12.You can type in Slicex it will come up
right there and you just wanna hit that checkmark and BAM!
It will be right in your plugins.
So we are gonna delete the second one.
Alright now this is what I do.
Once I found my sample.
Thats what we are gonna chop today.
So you right click, you left click send to selected channel or focused plugin.
Make sure that selected.
You do that its gonna load it straight up.
See it's decoding it.
And we got the sample in here.
Now this is the thing that I want to be straight up clear about.
You do not want this auto dump feature.
You wanna check that off first thing you do.
And keep your keyboard input on because like right now I don't have my Akai MPK hooked
in I am gonna be using it old school with my regular keyboard.
So you wanna make sure you have that so you can actually play it from your keyboard.
So make sure you check off that autodump feature and we are gonna zoom in here. and what most
people , I see this mistake alot, most people like using the autochop feature and that it's
the old school in me.
Don't use the autochop.
It never gets it right on point.
You always have to go in and mess with it.
It's about feeling.
Theres no easy way about this.
You gotta go in and really listen to the song you are about to sample and chop it up where
you think.
I mean when I heard this sample I already knew kinda what I wanted to do to the beat.
Ima show you how to do it.
Ima make a lil beat here.
And show you how I do this.
So without any further a due Ima show you how to chop a sample.
Now what you have here is.
We are gonna go straight to the downbeat.
Lemme play this.
Oh yeah and you can hit the spacebar.
You wanna make sure you get it right on that downbeat.
Okay.
You don't want any air right there.
So we are gonna come over here to add remove marker.
So we got the first marker right there.
So we can actually hit Q on the keyboard.
And it will play the first chop.
So lets listen to this.
This is our second chop right here.
See and it makes it alot easier.
With the wave forms so if you can read the wave forms you can get a pretty precise chop.
Back in the old school we had to listen to it by ear and if you wanted those really precise
chops you really have to listen to it and it takes some time to really master but with
programs like this its very easy very simple.
And notice we are getting it right on the ride because thats were the, it's acting like
a metronome so we know thats where our basic chops are gonna be and like I said whenever
I hear a sample I pretty much have the beat already in my head so I know exactly how I
wanna chop this. and we are gonna come over here and zoom out a little bit and move it
to the right zoom back in. and just keep hitting that space bar.
alright thats good for right now I might go in and add some more chops later but for a
basic beat thats what we got.
So right now we what want to start doing is getting the tempo right.
and start adding our chops.
Ima just point and click with this so I can show you how to do this.
We are going to hit the metronome.
We got it at 175 we'll probably change that but it's just an arbitrary uh how I hear the
beat.
Its somewhere around there.
We got the tempo just right I think that gonna be our first pattern right there.
and of course we can go ahead and do the velocities.
thats another secret, whenever youre hitting on the keys or on the mpc or whatnot you wanna
control the velocity.
Now in hip hop music theres not alot of dynamics but thats how you control the dynamics is
with the velocities.
so im gonna go ahead and do that and go to pattern 2.
See how easy that was! now lets go to the playlist.
we are gonna put our first pattern down and we are going to add our second pattern.
this is just a very ruff draft, bare, basic beat, right just start getting an idea, feeling
it out more and figure out where to take it from there.
so we are gonna go in here and we are just gonna pick some arbitrary drums.
I think I am gonna go ahead and go to the drum pack that I just chopped up from some
records.
So we are gonna come over here.
Shout out to Cookin Soul.
Shout out to Kevin Barnes of Luxury Loops.
You need to go get his pack.
Metro boomin thats got alot of great drums.
I got this for free download.
But I chopped up some drums not too long ago and its under the WeGotBeats kit.
Ima go ahead and add these because I really want a nice boom bap beat.
Thats what I hear with this. is a really ruff, rock sample , it needs those rough drums.
it dont need trap drums it needs those ruff drums.
thats another secret.
whenever your doing music you need to really pick out your drums to match your sound.
You want them shits knockin!
So we got some nice drums here.
We are just gonna do this real fast. and i always like putting it at pattern 10 that
gives me room for extra stuff.
automation, whatnot.
So lets go ahead and click that off and listen to this.
Okay so thats our bare, basic beat right there now what I like to do.
What Im do is give you a few more tips if you wanna stick around for a second.
So we got our drum pattern right here now if you hit control x on your keyboard.
we wanna separate these drums so we got our kick on this pattern now we are gonna go to
pattern 11 and hit control v thats gonna paste the snare and the hi hat.
now we are gonna deselect that snare.
control x, control c then control x and then we are gonna go to pattern 12 and then again
control v and that has our hi hat.
so thats how we have our drums seperated which is going to make it a lil bit easier to do
switch ups later.
so we got that.
and we gotta move these out a lil bit but i already here a drum fill in there like just
going crazy at the end of a 8 bar loop. so we are gonna go ahead and copy and paste this
and then what we wanna do is delete those we are gonna go to pattern 9. and then we
are gonna go ahead and get these drums back in there.
sometimes its a really pain in the ass to go head and do this point and click shit but
you know the struggles real sometimes lol I know because i done it for years I got the
akai mpk I wish I could hook it up but it never wants to work right when im doing these
videos so. we gonna go ahead and do the same thing here, ya know, do this, do this, and
what we gonna do is add that extra fill right here.
And we are gonna go to the select tool in the playlist and we are gonna drag this over
so we can just hear this.
Now I hear the kick going a little bit crazy.
now if youre wondering how to all those crazy hi hats and stuff in trap beats and doing
all that you wanna come over here to the snap tool so you can see we got it on a 1/6th beat
right now.
I wanna move that to a 1/3 beat.
we gonna get rid of that.
and then I'm thinking about doing something like this.
as you can hear the mix is really muddy so what we are gonna do is we gonna select all
4 of these channels so we can just do a basic mix so that we can just get some of that muddiness
out.
so select all these and then come over here to your mixer. and then go to the first insert
and then we are gonna hit control and then crap my bad, hold on lol, wait a minute i
hit the wrong key.
lets do that over again.
alright so we gonna select all that we gonna hit control, shift, L. And its gonna load
all the tracks that you selected all the channels i mean you selected and its gonna put em into
the mixer.
so you dont have to do all this craziness and then rename it.
it names it all for you so thats the best way to do it.
quick.
panning my hi hat and snare so that it will be like a real drum kit. on a real drum kit
youre gonna hear the hi hat a little bit off to the left and youre gonna hear that snare
a little bit to the right.
so that was one of the first tips when I first started mixing my beats.
shout out to Lowenbad from The Madhouse.
Thats an old school forum.
He's the one that taught me that.
hes a drummer himself and mixes his own music.
so that was one of the first tips I ever got when I first started mixing. and thats how
you chop a sample in fl studio, check the card at the end of this video so you can listen
to the full beat when I get it uploaded.
Make sure you hit that like and subscribe and if you got any questions hit me up. and
go to WeGotBeats.com to download some bangin beats.
Take care.
