Always step event recording .....

It's far more precise but takes getting used too.
Say you have a snare sample that falls on the 1st 1/4 beat of bars two and 3 then flams at 64ths over the fourth bar , set event record to Step and Single .
This will then write the entire bar as one whole sample (negating the drive too busy errors). It also means you can MARK ON an entire 4 /5 / 6 bar step sequence (using any pad within that bank) and move it to the clipboard , paste it to a pad , re-sample with effects if you so choose and then repaste it adnausium wherever you want in the event window. Make copies with different effect, filter some of them , reverse others and then go event edit crazy when in step mode again . Also remeber when in step edit mode you can exit and re-nter using a different pad bank and use one of any 16 samples from all 64 banks within anytrack ....Pretty cool hey ..... It takes some getting used too but MrWestwood has heard some of my comps and pasteups doing this method and it works a treat.
Heres another trick .... Sample a long ambient drone then use the Pitchshifter or DJ Vocal effect and set up an external sequencer on the effects control midi-channel ... Program a note sequence on your sequncer.
Trigger the pad and play the sequence. hey presto , the pad will pitch shift too the incoming midi note data. This does truly insane things too drum loops, vocals, drones etc etc etc... also using the Vsynth as a filter bank you can step mod the LFO and filter cuttoff and ring mod the input (pad) against OSC1 of the Vsynth and sequnce the notes from an external sequencer for some brutal robotic rythm workouts and other bizzare effects (great using the BandPass filter at 12 db with a touch of resonance) You can warp out really dry/bland loops in a very IDM-ish kind of way.
Oh and the guy in the previus post said you cant cut loops into segments on an 808 for D'n'Bass and Jungle workouts. Bullshit you can't either that or I have a different brand of 808 to his (go figure) ??????
