[uh-oh]

you counted right, but make sure you do it

count, tsk, tsk, count, tsk, tsk, count, tsk, tsk, count, tsk, tsk

you want the hihats after too so it loops around right, so your chop ends right before the next "count"

but thats not the problem you ran into i don't think, the problem is the song you are chopping isnt in 4/4, i know exactly what you are talking about tho you will run across those alot in sampling.

you either have to want it sped up, or you have to chop different, and its very hard, i suck at it myself and it doesnt work sometimes

basically a 4/4 pattern is more like

count, tsk, count, tsk, count, tsk, count, tsk,

with just the one main hihat inbetween kicks and snares, when you run into slower stuff, with two counts, its actually a completely different structure, im not sure what it is exactly, i aint musically trained classically, like i don't know if its 3/4 or 4/3, but it isnt 4/4 lol

but i got beats chopping those kinds of things its some of the more advanced stuff i do tho

but i can probably make a beat vid about it.

the main thing is when you do drums, snares will be in there same place if you count and chop right, but you will never match the hihats with the boxes/steps in the stepsequencer. alot of the time the kicks are in time with the hihats too

to place them right you will have to use the piano roll

i'll make a vid doing just that.

if you want upload the song you are trying to sample, tomorrow or saturday i will make a quick vid showing you how to place drums and a couple ways to chop those types of samples
