Extracting sounds from Samples on my MPC 2500

If I have loaded a Sample onto my MPC and I want to use the horns only or the vocals only etc. How is this done?

Just so I save you from harassment, watch some youtube videos on how to do this.

Ive looked everywhere for em, what videos would you suggest or if you could just give me a few tips on how to do this, thanks.

Are you talking about you have a song going with a singer, drum player, bass guitarist, horns, and you only want the vocals or drums, etc?

Yes and i wanted to use the horns and some vocals for a hook...

Get a tracked out version of the sample?

No, really, you're going to have to get really creative for that kind of stuff. You can either:

a)try and find the parts you want by themselves on the song you're sampling.

b)get some live musicians to do it for you.

I've also tried eq-ing the sample to accentuate the sounds I want while dulling the others and doing some fancy filtering to cut off some unwanted frequencies. However, this will result in a totally different sound that you didn't have in mind for the beat. Who knows? It might sound good.

It also helps to make the other instruments work with the beat. I've used horn hits off records, and the guitar lick in the background matches the beat perfectly and sounds great!

You're best bet is to do everything and anything you can to get the sound you want. Don't think of making beats as a checklist to fill out, but an experiment you get results from.

Other than sonicworx isolate or melodyne editor, there are no real ways to do what you want. Playing with filters, eq's and phase cancellation can help.

Going mono is the way the go sometimes. Splitsing up left and right into two seperate samples. Then filter and eq and all that stuff.
