Hi everyone
So i’ve had good fun loading in stems of tracks i’ve arranged on ableton using trig locks to trigger different samples to switch between patterns etc. Great but obviously you run out of sample slots quickly so I have turned to slices…
I have read you can use a stem trick with slices to have one stem contain all your kicks, another your bassline and so on which would be perfect for me but i’m struggling with exporting the stems correctly to slice up and use p.locks to trig the different stems/patterns. When i load the stem in and create a slice grid, it doesn’t match (i’ve checked the original tempo and set the OT to the same bpm). I also don’t understand how to manually place slices in so I could try line them up this way…
Could someone make sense of this or perhaps point me to a video? I’m on the verge of getting a looper with midi to get a decent length loop sent to another channel of a dj mixer while i change projects on the OT but the slicing technique seems like the golden key here.
Thanks for the help!
