i can't believe i recommended it to so many people back in the day. I'm amazed by how frustrated i quickly got with this software. i don't know how many bars this 47 second sample of percussion is, and i don't care cuz i'm only out to get some oneshots. Third: the whole procedure of inputting how many bars/beats your sample is ("grid" based chopping, or "zoning") is bullsh!t. how can i play a single, current slice so i can edit by ear (since zooming in is such a pain in the ass?) instead, it appears i can only do this via mouse.again, if someone has keyboard shortcuts etc that i'm missing, be a hero. i searched for hotkeys/keyshortcuts in recycle but didn't find any. i'm sitting here trying to control this thing exclusively via keyboard and it won't let me. without this, zooming in to find the precise transient in the waveform is a tedious task and worse yet.Ģnd: unintuitive playback. if there's a hotkey for this, PLEASE someone tell me. seriously, that's the FIRST step in pissing me off - i hate any editing platform that doesn't horizontal zoom on mousewheel. this is a big sample, i wanted to take 64+ slices from it, of various shapes and sizesįirst: i was horrified to remember that Recycle doesn't allow horizontal zooming via mousewheel. so instead i just import the wav and decide to chop it on Recycle. but when i could do it on the mpc there was just no point in using it.įlash forward, it's today, and i tried to use recycle because for some reason Short Circuit doesn't accept waves that i chop from the mpc1000. i used to use it daily, i liked it good enough.
I haven't used recycle in earnest since 2006, when i used it exclusively (until the mpc1000 got CHOP/ZONE).
