  1. Cool vid, me too I like having the sample ready in Cool Edit, instead of actually doing the chopping with Recycle or wtv.

    Also, I know you didn’t pay attention to detail cuz it’s just a beat making video, but do you always make sure you cut at zero crossing? I didn’t know about that zero crossing shit until I saw a Logic tutorial. It really make your editing sound so much smoother.

    Yo JB,
    That was tight work! I always chop the sample into hits and replay…ie. Premo and some others….but not as good at it, lol…..but I like how your tracks sound so “seemlessly” put together…will def check out Part 2.
