Complex ChoppingĬomplex chopping involves refining and extracting smaller sections of audio from a sample such as individual drums or instrument stab sounds. Now we're sure many of you have mastered the art of chopping basic loops and samples like this so lets have a look and some more complex chopping methods. The zero crossing point is the instantaneous point at which there is no signal present. We want to have a clean start and end point and depending on our sampler of choice we can automatically or manually find the zero crossing point. If there is this will indicate that we are either chopping our sample too short or possibly too long.
The only thing we need to be concerned about here is our start and end points and we want to make sure there are no clicks or pops at the start or end. Once we have recorded our audio and have our sample ready to edit we can adjust our start and end points and truncate ( shorten by cutting off the top or the end.) This will leave us with just our loop or the audio we want. This is typical when extracting an exert from a piece of audio such as a loop for example. So lets start with a look at the basics, chopping and truncating a sample. Lets have a look and some of the different techniques we can use when chopping our samples and some tips we can utilize.
It typically involves adjusting the start and end points of your audio sample but the deeper you go in the process the more complex our chopping method can go. Chopping is the art of editing, trimming and dissecting your samples ready to load and play in your beat.
