    Is there no way to cut out parts of the song you don't need from simpler slice mode (slice by beat) ? I hate that my next slice has to start where the last one finished. that's so dumb. Do I have to slice it out from an audio track? yo that's crazy.

    • @MicahWeston
      @MicahWeston 8 днів тому

      Bro, I aint gone lie. It’s hard for me to really understand your question. Could you re-phrase it for me? But if I am understanding you correctly, that is how it goes when using the simpler device in Ableton. Keep in mind that there a few different ways to sample in Ableton. You can slice audio images arrangement view, you can drag sample chops into drum rack or simpler. All have different advantages!
