BEATSLICER

BeatSlicer is an FL Studio add-on that gives you the power to easily 'slice' any wav file (not only loops) into its specific parts and to edit those slices. BeatSlicer is similar to Propellerhead's 'ReCycle', but integrates perfectly with FL Studio.

BeatSlicer consists of a standalone editor that allows you to modify the position of the slices yourself.

Who can use Beatslicer?

Anyone who creates rhytmic music! It's a very inspiring tool and so easy to use. A few mouse clicks are enough to create lots of new variation for that groovy loop. It's also great for remixes, as you can replace one, some or even all of the original drums while maintaining the original groove.

Can Beatslicer stretch?

BeatSlicer provides information about the loop in FL Studio, so that you can alter the loop tempo in real-time, simply by altering the tempo in FL Studio.

Only for drumloops?

No, BeatSlicer is not restricted to drum loops. You can rework all kinds of rhythmic loops successfully - anything from a rap to a drum loop. To acheive the best result, though, the loop should be 'clean' (i.e. individual beats/events should be more or less separated from each other).

Prefer to make you own loops?

Even if you don't like the idea of using other people's loops, they can be a good starting point. Nobody's perfect and we all run out of inspiration now and then. Use BeatSlicer and FL Studio to modify the loop to suit your tastes and you'll end up with a new and exiting personal loop. Dare to try it, you'll like it!

Don't like the autoslicing?

The BeatSlicer contains man-years of slicing knowhow but sometimes there are things that seem obvious to the eye but are almost undetectable by software. That's why the BeatSlicer also has a standalone interface that allows you to adjust the slices yourself.

Here you can visually edit (add/delete/ move) each beat/event marker (down to the resolution of 1 sample) to make sure the slicing will be performed exactly as you wish. The sliced beats (wave files) and the groove file can then easily be imported into FL Studio for further editing or simply to be used in your music.

How do I edit the loop?

FL Studio provides all sorts of editing of the loop. Simply use the familiar FL Studio user interface to edit the loop in any way, just as if you had created it from scratch.

I want more!

BeatSlicer is actually a lighter version of BeatCreator. If you are looking for a more powerful loop editor that still supports FL Studio, check out BeatCreator - it can do everything BeatSlicer can do plus a whole lot more. For instance: SCSI Sample Dump, Create Midi File, Powerful on beat sample editing, quantize individual events, TimeStretch drum loops plus it has a bunch of groovy tools for spiffing up just about any rhytmic loop or for creating grooves from sustain sounds.
