One distinct hazard of chopping one-shot samples is the audible tick.
Because chopping samples within any software is so easy, it’s also easy to make a messy job of it. Audio editing software like Audacity, perhaps the best free audio editing program, makes chopping samples extremely easy. Many Hip Hop producers - like Chuck D, J Dilla, and DJ Premier just to name a few - construct mixes by slicing out one-shot samples from existing third-party loops and songs, extracting brief sections of audio, and re-combining them into a remixed collage of sound.
Rap and Hip Hop music is full of chopping and sampling.
