JAN 2021 I've just spent the last hour replicating this tutorial click by click (as I don't know shortcuts yet!!) and I have learned more here than I have on any other tutorial. Cannot thank you enough. Going to play about with what I now know and can't wait to jump on part 2 tomorrow. I'm in my 50's so I'm not a very quick learner!
This has a very important step missing. The original break is very sloppy and has to have the hits brought in time. The break in the video looks as if this has been done. For any break that is an original break you may have to get the hits in time first before then going on to chop and rearrange. This is a good tutorial for this: th-cam.com/video/Vlrp7nPdwfg/w-d-xo.html
Interesting method. Must try it myself. You still seem to get those clicks at various points... I simply can't get rid of them all regardless of what I've tried...
Access the Edit window via the EXS24 and select the clicky samples and move the start point by opening in the Sample Editor via the EXS24 Sampler Instrument Window, or do it old skool by dragging the start and end points by scrolling/dragging on the numbers (like back in the Akai Sampler days) until the start or end points are smooth.
This doesn’t work for me unfortunately, I’ve followed it to a T but when I get to the slicing bit it doesn’t slice like yours it’s just out for some reason? .. is it because your using a earlier version of logic x ? .... it’s a shame because all the other videos on chopping up the amen brake are not very good, this one is by far the best slice I’ve seen but unfortunately I can’t get it to slice like that!. Any chance of doing a up to date video on chopping up the amen in logic x ?
After I did the chops, there are still pops at the end of the chops. After that I also tried fades at the end. After converting in the EXS, these were still there. Do you have a solution?
For some reason, I followed these steps but after editing to make it sound nice and 'jump up', and adjusting the tempo, the breaks sound a bit too choppy. Any way to get the transitions a bit smoother sounding? cheers
Is there a way to trigger the sample from EXS24 as a 'continuous break' instead of as 1-shots as shown here, yet still be able to edit the breaks? (I just don't want to have to create my own beat each time.. i'm no 'drummer' lol). I just wanna be able to trigger the sample as a rolling beat, but have it still be editable etc. ..Or am I asking too much here!

This is by far the best video on the amen break in logic, There are other videos, But you go in depth like no other, Thanks very much.
While I knew how to chop laboriously manually, you've opened my eyes to some features of Logic that I've never touched!
yeh this is great thanks my dude, CHANGED MY LIFE (saved me a lot of time)
The best video on this topic by far! Hope you release many more videos

Hi Alan hope all is well thanks for you videos on the amen very helpful was wondering if you could do a couple on the new logic 10.5 sampler
Rate this big time, the best tutorial I had at dBs
Yes yes yes! thankyou! best way to chop ive found! this is gonna help me so much!
Fantastic help! Thank you Alan, this tutorial is brilliant, I'm using Logic Pro 9 so am finding the best alternative ways to do things. Thanks again!
It works the exact same in Logic 9, just things are in a different location...
Some of the most fun I've had in ages! Great tutorial
As an Ableton user, this absolutely hurt.... :P
Great lesson thank you!
thank you for this tutorial. Amen brother 🙏
This tutorial works for me! Thank you so much my friend x
Thank you!!! This is one is the very best amen chopping thing yeah!.)
this is such a clear tutorial, thanks!
Thanks for this tutorial
Great tutorial!! 👏🏿👏🏿

ok but how are your notes all the same length on the grid in the sample track and fit perfectly. mine isnt doesn't do that
Brilliant tutorial, found it really useful. Could you do something similar using Cubase 9?! (complete novice)

nice
God, this looks so much easier than Renoise lol
yees snx man
where can i find this amen break
When I convert the audio to sample track they sound watery. Not clear at all. What am I doing wrong?
YOU ABSOLUTE KING I'M GONNA GIVE U A BIG OL KISS

I can't seem to get this to work. The sampler track doesn't flow smoothly, it jumps and jitters. No clicks just broken up.
same! have you discovered a way to fix that?? Been having trouble finding info on this
NEVERMIND i figured it out, you need to just get rid of the fades on the ends of each slice in the sampler. Totally smooth now.
This.
excellent man! I just have a question, why my amen break is taken as 92 bpm.? its actually the same as yours. thanks!
I'm not sure sorry.
I can’t find the ‘convert to new sampler track’ option.. I don’t get that if I right click
Search through all the options on the right click it will be under 'convert'
fucking don!
well that looks a lot simpler than chopping the audio file manually
