@Jonathan, no problem fam. To my knowledge, you will need to have at least the full version of live 8, you don’t need suite but either live 8 or live 7 to be able to slice into the drum racks.

@saintjoe, Thanks for the speedy reply ! and yes your correct about not being able to create custom drum racks on live intro. So i would need to have abelton live 8 or suitte to chop up , warp and slice tracks ?

I’m looking to buy an Akai MPD32 or an Akai MPK25 to make things alitte easier with ableton . i heard it comes with ableton live lite , does this come with a sampler to slice up tracks? Sorry if these questions are stupid i just really want to know so i don’t break my computer out of anger lol. I really wanna sample tracks.

@Jonathan, I think it comes with Simpler, but you can’t do a slice to midi because you can’t create custom drum racks in Live Intro I don’t think.

@saintjoe, does ableton live intro come with a sampler ? i was trying to chop up a song from itunes and it said i couldn’t do it. Would i need to buy another version of ableton just to sample tracks? Is there an alternate way to do this? Please help .

@Jay, I’m not sure where it would be, haven’t messed with it in a while. You could set it up as oneshots the same way I did here.

Hi! I understand everything. But when I went into my library and went to defaults to look for “Dropping Samples” It wasnt there. Idk where it is and I cant find it. Do you know where it is? Or what I’m doing wrong? Or any possible ways to set up One-Shots?

@SpazeCraft One, it may be a limitation of Live Intro, I have never used intro so I’m not sure.

There is no slice to midi function in ableton live intro, sad to say.
If you know something different, please feel free to share, but as far as I kno, that is one of the limitations. Is there a work around to get samples sliced?? Peace Aaron
