Producer Tools — That Sounds Hot

Slice a music video into per-section clips at exact bar boundaries — DAW-agnostic.

For: producers and creators making short-form content (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts).
Input: a video (and/or audio) plus your tempo and bar markers — works with Logic, FL Studio, Pro Tools, anything. Or drop an Ableton .als file and we'll slice at every marker, using each marker's name for the output clip.
Output: a zip of clips — one per marker — each named after its section.
Why bother? Clips are cut at the exact bar boundaries you specify, not eyeballed in a video editor. Seconds vs. hours.

Marker source

Works with any DAW (Logic, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Studio One, Reaper, …) or any audio file you know the tempo of.

Drop your .als file and we'll read the markers automatically.

Tempo & markers

Tempo (BPM) 60–200. Constant tempo throughout the song (no tempo changes).

Marker input mode Bar number — type where each marker starts Section length — type how long each section is

Section name Start bar

Media files

Audio file optional

.wav .aif .mp3 .flac .m4a

Video file optional

.mov .mp4 .m4v .mkv .webm — slices retain audio.

Provide an audio file, a video file, or both.

Options

Audio start bar First bar where the media render begins in the timeline. Leave at 1 unless you bounced from later in the song.

Pre/Post-Marker Offset lets each slice start a little before its marker and end a little after the next one. The idea is to give you a small buffer when you bring the slices into a video editor, so you can trim each cut precisely instead of having it land exactly on the marker.

Pre-Marker Offset (seconds) Each slice starts this many seconds before its marker. Skipped on the first section. Post-Marker Offset (seconds) Each slice ends this many seconds after the next marker. Skipped on the last section (it runs to the end of the file). Skip sections Skip specific sections (e.g. Main Loop, End) so they are not exported as separate clips. Comma-separated, case-insensitive.

Video encode mode Stream copy — near-instant. Cuts at the nearest keyframe (within ~0.5s of your marker). Best for vlog edits, music video segments, IG/TikTok clips — anywhere a half-second tolerance is fine. Recommended. Re-encode — exact frame-accurate cuts at your markers, but every frame is re-encoded. Roughly 1.5× source length on our servers (so a 4-minute video takes ~6 minutes to process). Only pick this when you need precise alignment for a downstream video edit.

Also export audio-only slices from the video Only takes effect when no separate audio file is uploaded.

A utility for chopping a tempo-warped audio file into bar-length chunks for sample chopping.

For: producers loading samples into drum racks, samplers, MPCs, Maschine, etc.
Input: a WAV or AIFF that's already locked to its tempo (typically a render from Ableton with warping applied).
Output: a zip of clean, numbered bar-length chunks — organized by chunk size for easy import.
What's "warped"? A file Ableton has time-stretched to lock to a specific BPM. Open it in Ableton, hit Warp, and it plays in time with your project — that's the BPM you enter below. If the file isn't warped, the chunks won't land on real beats.

File

Audio file required

.wav .aif .aiff (lossless only — MP3 is rejected so cuts stay clean)

Settings

Tempo (BPM) Must match the BPM the file was warped to in Ableton. Range 60–200.

Chunk sizes

Pick one or more — you'll get a separate folder of slices for each.

2-bar chunks — small, beat-level loops 4-bar chunks — typical phrase length 8-bar chunks — common loop length 16-bar chunks — full sections (verse / chorus)

Filename options

Add prefixes to every output filename. Useful when chopping multiple sources and importing into one drum rack.

Add a friendly name prefix Appears at the start of every chopped filename. Include BPM in filenames Uses the BPM you entered above. Renders as e.g. 98bpm.

A utility for chopping a short audio chunk into small bar-aligned pieces — pick the fraction sizes you want and get a folder per size.

For: producers chopping samples into hits, micro-loops, or one-shots for samplers, drum racks, MPCs, Maschine.
Input: a WAV or AIFF. Caps at 16 bars at the entered BPM.
Output: a zip — one folder per fraction size you pick.

File

Audio file required

.wav .aif .aiff (lossless only — MP3 is rejected so cuts stay clean)

Settings

Tempo (BPM) Must match the BPM the file was warped to in Ableton. Range 60–200.

Slice sizes

Pick one or more — you'll get a separate folder for each.

1 bar — full musical bar (4 beats in 4/4) 1/2 bar — half a bar (2 beats) 1/4 bar — one beat (quarter note) 1/8 bar — eighth note 1/16 bar — sixteenth note (very small)

Filename options

Add prefixes to every output filename.

Add a friendly name prefix Appears at the start of every chopped filename. Include BPM in filenames Uses the BPM you entered above. Renders as e.g. 120bpm.

Build a sample chain — a single WAV file with multiple samples concatenated — that loads into one slot on a hardware sampler.

For: producers working with samplers that auto-slice — MPC, Digitakt, Octatrack, and others.
Input: a folder's worth of WAV/AIFF samples — drop them all on the page, drag to reorder, preview each one.
Output: one chain WAV per style you pick, plus a .ot slice metadata file when uniform spacing is selected.
Two styles: Variable spacing (for transient or manual slicing) and Uniform spacing (for Octatrack users).

Samples

Drop samples here required

.wav .aif .aiff (lossless only). Drop multiple files, or click to multi-select.

Settings

Chain style(s)

A separate chain WAV is produced for each style you pick.

Variable spacing Sample → small silence → sample. Each hit keeps its own length.
Good for: Digitakt, MPC, Maschine, any sampler with manual slice points. Uniform spacing (writes .ot slice file) Every sample padded to the longest. Even slice grid.
Good for: Octatrack, any device that auto-slices on a fixed grid.

Chain name (used in output filenames; falls back to first sample's name) Auto-trim silence at start/end of each sample Recommended — keeps the chain tight. Threshold −40 dB.

Normalize Off — preserve original levels Peak — each sample brought to a consistent loudness target Limiter — soft-leveler so quiet hits don't get lost

Variable Spacing: silence between samples (ms) Small gap so the device's envelope decays cleanly between hits. 200 ms is typical. Write .ot slice metadata file So fixed-grid slicers (Octatrack) auto-load the slice points. Best-effort implementation; if your device rejects it, the WAV still imports — slices just have to be set on-device.

Build an Ableton Drum Rack (.adg) from a folder of samples — drop them in, arrange them on a 4×32 pad grid, download the rack ready to drag into Ableton.

For: Ableton Live producers building drum kits from sample libraries.
Input: WAV / AIFF samples (drop loose files or upload a zip).
Output: a zipped folder containing the .adg file plus a samples/ subfolder with relative paths — fully portable across machines.
To use: unzip into your Ableton User Library, drag the .adg into a project, and when Ableton asks to locate samples, point it at the unzipped samples/ folder — it links the rest automatically.
Why a 4×32 grid? Ableton's drum rack has 128 pads = the full MIDI range (C-2 at the bottom-left, G8 at the top-right). The grid lets you place each sample on the pad you want — drag samples around to match how you play.

Samples

Drop samples here required

.wav .aif .aiff — drop loose files or click to multi-select. Max 128 samples (one per pad).

0 of 128 pads filled · 128 free

Settings

Kit name Used in the output filename and inside the rack. Start note MIDI note where the first sample lands (auto-pack mode). Default 36 = C1, the General MIDI kick. Range 0 (C-2) to 127 (G8).

Pad order

Re-pack samples contiguously starting at the start note in the chosen order. Switches to Custom the moment you drag a pad.

Alphabetical A → Z Alphabetical Z → A Custom — preserves the current arrangement

Alphabetize by:

Original filename Friendly name — uses the name shown on each pad

Pad grid

Drop samples above to populate the grid. Drag any pad onto another to swap them. Click a pad's name to rename it — whatever you type shows up as the pad label inside Ableton. Empty pads stay empty in the rack.
