How to Chop/Slice Samples in Ableton Made Easy (inc. Real-Time Live Chopping)

Si, from our new sample subscription service RouteNote Create, schools you on how he approaches the art of the sample chop in Ableton Live.
Si has been involved in the world of samples for over 30 years and as one half of UK production unit The Creators, produced and remixed hip-hop heavyweights such as Nas, Mos Def, Talib Kweli to name just a few.
A few years back Si switched from using hardware to 100% in the box sampling courtesy of Ableton and its Simpler sampling device. He was struck at the time with the lack of good sample chopping tutorials, so vowed that when he got the chance, he would impart his acquired sample chopping skills and knowledge. And in this video, he makes good on his promise, demonstrating two great workflows for efficient sample chopping in Ableton.
It must be noted that this video is not a definitive sample chopping guide, rather a demonstration of the two main chopping techniques that Si deploys in his beat making.
These two methods are Simplers:
Slice by Beat
Slice by Manual (Chopping in Real-Time)

Is there a way to save into wav/aif filse the the chopped up new samples which Simpler shows?

This AZ MAX device dos not appear to want to go into Ableton 11 Suite. On either of my computers - Win 10 PC and Win 11Laptop. I have what appears to be a stand alone Max For Live AZ Labs Slicer but nothing that opens in Ableton. (I do have a lot of M4L devices and have used and loaded them before). Further to this, though I can't add it to my M4L browser in Ableton, I can drag it out of it's Windows folders and place it into Ableton next to Simpler. Still doesn't show up in the M4L device list but there it is in next to Simpler.

Does this only work if you use that pad slicing thing from Max for live. I followed everything you said, but when I try to add my own slice markers nothing happens

If chopped a sample and slow or fast the tempo then I'm eligible for contant id?

@es__music 4 ай бұрын

Can you manually move a slice line if it doesn't line up the way you want it?

@hanzo3188 4 ай бұрын

Not sure but you could just slice the sample up in bigger chunks and then isolate the one you want and chop that section

@hanzo3188 4 ай бұрын

Or just set the slice markers to manual in the settings

Ive watched 50 ableton videos and it seems like i cant just cut up my sounds and fuck with them. its al gotta be some automated shit where i have to click 50 buttons and let the software do the creating. why cant i just make a sound and hack it up and glue it back together differently. Im so sick of ableton, i can make shit faster in any old ass software:

@user-wd9xx3eu9l 4 ай бұрын

I don’t understand…. It’s so easy. You just use Simpler and change the mode to Manual and then press the pads as you make the chops. Are you not using a MIDI controller?
