Heyo.
Id be curious to hear your tips to cutting down on time spent perfecting slices start / end / loop points. Esp irt to a long sample with lots of different modulations / sections. Its a momentum killer having to make tiny adjustments to start end and then relisten to the whole thing.

For real speed it’s honestly best to slice elsewhere unless you’re using slice grids. I don’t think maschine can be beaten for this. You can detect slice points by transients and adjust the sensitivity in real time and it spreads them across the pads, slice by time measurements (16ths/32s etc) slice by number of sections, or hit the pads as the sample plays and it lays slices on each pad you hit. The time stretch is infinitely clearer than OTs and they recently added a formant setting for vocals. Alternatively I slice in logic and bang it in octachainer if I’m in a rush. There’s a keyboard shortcut to slice at the playhead, it’s extremely fast. I know you use iPad, beatmaker 3 also has slice by transient with sensitivity and pretty good time stretching.
If you wanna keep it to OT though the fastest way would be to try keep your pre-chopped sounds relatively close to the slice grid, then you can just place a slice grid, zoom in and use the arrow buttons to jump between slides quickly and adjust
I loop things on pc , compile chains using octachainer, typically on a grid so it’s easy to autoslice .
Google octachainer or search on here , lots of info around.
Thanks but I was hoping to find out info strictly working on the OT
But I do hear you both.
Yep like others have said keep it on the grid and in time and then “create slice grid” or whatever it is of up to 64 slices. Keep in mind even if you have a long sample, say 16 bars long, you can still slice that sample into whole notes by creating a slice grid of 64 slices.
If you’re sampling stuff that isn’t really in time or isn’t tempo locked to your Octa already then it gets a bit trickier
