Anyone know of a program or how to get rid of drums out of a sample besides chopping it?

Ceremony Melodyne has a few tricks... so *maybe* worth a look.

Usually you're looking at a lot of eq'ing/filtering and such and probably aren't going to get great results.

Are you aware of tricks to remove the center channel? You might get lucky there.

Show me the sample and I tell you what to do.
Here is an example I did were I 'deleted' the snare in the intro.

OP said without chopping... I'm guessing you 'deleted' by playing a different slice... though I'd be interested in an explanation about what you did.

I have had some samples sound better than others. It bogs down my computer when I use it. Freezing the track in ableton helps with the reducing cpu load. It still wasn't what I was expecting but its worth checking out.

No choppin goin on in this example. The 'technique': interpolation between two points (before the start / somwhere in the release of the drumsound). Depending on the sample it might work better when this interpolation happen only in the 'important' frequency range.

Other method: hard limiting the drumsound (especially the first 100ms - 150ms). Again, might work better if it's set to work just in the necessary frequency range.

Yes I used to disconnect the R or L input on my mpc from whatever I was sampling from but I’m working with the mpc live now
