SP-404MKII Drum Shaping: Chopping Breaks, Layering, MFX Resampling Workflow Tutorial

I get asked a lot about what sort of processing I do to my drums with the Roland SP-404 MK2, especially chopped breaks. In this video I walkthrough a lot of the common approaches I take to chopping, layering kicks / snares and how I route the bus fx before resampling. Common MFX I use are Cassette Sim, Compressor, Crusher and Isolator Vs Equalizer etc...

0:00 Intro
0:16 The Break
0:29 Pre-Chop FX
1:34 Chopping The Break
3:25 Layering Drums (Pad Link)
4:09 Kick Bus FX
6:29 EQ vs Isolator
7:07 Snare Bus FX
9:52 Hi Hats Bus FX
11:19 Drum Sample Layout
11:57 Stereo vs Mono
13:24 One last lil bit of jibberish...
