## Overview

Splits audio into beat-length slices based on BPM, then reorders or loops them.

## Inputs

- **Audio File** (file): Select an audio file
- **BPM (optional)** (number): Leave empty to auto-detect
- **Beats per Slice** (number): 1
- **Slice Pattern** (select)
- **Loop Count** (number): 2
- **Output Format** (select)

## When to use

- When you need to remix a track by rearranging its beats for a unique version.
- For creating custom loops from audio files to use in music production or live sets.
- To experiment with different beat patterns, such as reversing or randomizing, in a song.

## How it works

- Upload an audio file and specify the BPM manually or let the tool auto-detect it.
- Set the number of beats per slice and choose a slice pattern like original, reverse, random, or loop.
- Configure additional options such as loop count and output format (e.g., MP3, WAV).
- Download the processed audio file with the applied beat slicing and pattern.

## Use cases

- Remixing songs by reversing or randomizing beat slices for creative edits.
- Generating drum loops for electronic music production by slicing and looping specific sections.
- Preparing practice tracks for musicians by creating varied beat patterns from recordings.

## Frequently asked questions

### What audio formats can I upload?

You can upload common audio formats like MP3, WAV, FLAC, and others, with a file size limit of 200 MB.

### How does BPM auto-detection work?

If you leave the BPM field empty, the tool analyzes the audio to estimate the beats per minute automatically.

### What does the 'loop' pattern do?

The loop pattern repeats the sliced audio a specified number of times, as set in the loop count option.

### Can I use this tool for live performance preparation?

Yes, it's ideal for creating beat-sliced loops that can be used in live DJ sets or performances.

### Is there a limit on the number of slices?

The number of slices depends on the audio length and beats per slice setting, but there's no fixed limit beyond the file size.
