Let’s get busy slicing a breakbeat with the Polyend Tracker.
I’ll show my best practice for slicing and do a drumloop with the chops.
Checking FX real quick, too.
This should get you going, too!
0:33 load a sample
1:16 enter sample slicing mode
1:43 let’s autoslice
1:58 add slices manually
2:32 best practice for slicing starts here
4:44 add slices following this logic
5:05 logic of where a slice gets added
8:45 switch to Beat Slice mode
9:12 let’s get busy with adding notes in Pattern view
10:39 copy the good parts you want to repeat
12:27 find the mistakes in the pattern and fix that
12:53 preview your pattern
13:20 change tempo
13:43 what if a sound cuts short - a tracker tip
16:07 pitch the drums/instrument down a bit
16:41 do a reverb throw on a snare
17:08 preview the slices without moving to find the ideal slice

Little trick: If you press shift on the slice page you can slice per length division :) really useful for breaks

A modern tracker in 2022. This surprised me. Not going to lie.

I really appreciate the insight you give as to how you think about the things you're doing. There are a ton of videos on how to make breakbeats on the tracker but this one really stands out in that you discuss your own thoughts and habits while doing it. Great stuff!

Nice one! I’ve had PT for a year now, and I really like the workflow. Reminds me about the FT2 and Renoise -era, but still keeps it somehow super fresh! I slice breaks always using the shift key. So when you press shift after selecting either slice or beat slice, you can choose how many slices you want - so it’s easier to see the waveform and make an estimate visually, how many measures there are 8/12/16/24/32/48 etc. After that it’s more a matter of moving slices to exact/desired points with jogwheel on your right fingertips + slice and adjust buttons in your left , rather than adding slice points 👍🏻 ping-pong loop would be a killer with slices! You can sometimes fake it in the sequencer using reverse sample playback in fx lane, but I know it’s not quite the same.

Yes, I did think of this (counting slices), but with some beats (esp. longer ones, played by a human with ghost hits here and there), it's actually quite tricky counting how many hits there are. With some "steady" rhythm it'd be easier.

Did you spend some time with the tracker since this video ? would you mind doing another session with it ? i love my tracker and i am a big fan of your music. It would be great to see you make some more beats with the tracker. also basslines and such.

I don't know how you've done it so it sounds so seamlessly! I time-stretched 8-bar Amen break, chopped up neatly but when I played it sounds very unnatural, adding swing FX didn't do much help. I know it won't sound like Slipmatt's Breaking Free tune but I go around circles and need to realise everything again :(

@fanusamurai 2 жыл бұрын

I never timestretch the drums, as it may make them sound a bit unnatural. It's about chopping each hit, finding the right pitch/pattern, and tempo :) I do give a bit of personal tuition on this every now and then as well as constructive song feedback and help, so feel free to get in touch if you ever want that.

Appreciate i@@fanusamuraii got more drums to practice on and give you a shout if I get stuck! I was only referring to metallic timestretching as I love sound of it LOL
