This is done after sampling. Look into LP filtering.

this one is for free

got to the program hit assign, Then hit F2, then hit edit 1. This will take you into the fitlering screen tweak away from there. Learn the manual.

The lowpass filter is not going to perfectly isolate the baasline from a song. Your still going to get the lows from the drums or melody.
Reading the manual isn't going to tell you this either.

pay somebody to play the bassline for you(if you got the money)

sampletron 5000 melody eliminator ?? PLease tell me there is no such thing! I would laugh, but someone probably is marketing just such a thing...Anyway, To the best of my knowledge, you can't do what you are trying to do. Bass lines are simple enough that if you have an MPC and a midi keyboard you should be able to play the damn thing...With most songs all you have to do is nail 8 bars and copy. If you can't do that enter it with step edit; if that fails a carreer in accounting is always a good way to pay the bills.

that was funny. :D


However this thread about Paul C might help about choosing left or right channels when sampling to isolate more. It is great just an idea.
