How to take drums from a sample from say a old soul song...once i tried that kanye west type production and i couldnt get the hats,kicks, and snares, to go low enuff so u can hear my new snares hats and kicks... does anybody know any tecniques on how to take the drums and stuff from the vocal sample..in other words make it accalplla

Whas up Toom....Welcolm to the forum!

Ok, a quick tip I can offer is to filter/EQ the sample (meaning cut out the 'low end') This will help dampen the kick especially. You wont be able to get rid of it all- Its better to have the essence of the sample floating around in the mix anyway.
Try to program your drums to compliment the drums/groove of the sample. Perhaps try to use shakers to cover up hats.

From your question, I gather you already know how to speed the sample up?! If not, you need to pitch it up.

Hope that helps, if not ask again

What I do sometimes is run the sample through a noise gate.

Threshold: 10-30db.
Attack: at 1.
Release: at 100ms.
Hold: as long as it takes for the drums to speak out then the release will take over..
Then you can save that noise gated sample as a copy (don't over write the original sample) and chop up the copy into drums you got from it..

Try that maybe.. Good luck with it..

I don't do anything complicated.. all I do is layer em with different sounds.. lets say I don't want to change the original sample too much, I may run it through my emax, but turn the gain up a little. This way, the emax is already gonna add it's dirt, plus the signal is hotter going into the MPC. I use the emax because I got it cheap, but any sampler can do the same thing. You mixing board can do a lot of things, even a cheapo 6 channel behringer with rotary faders.. just turn the gain up from another sampler, and you get a louder sample.
I should also point out that you should always keep the gain down if possible.. the more gain you have, the more hiss you create in your trax. If you can turn your system on and hear the 'hiiiissss', you probably have the gain up too high on some channels, or the output volume is simply up too high. There are other reasons, but I don't want you to buy hum elimiators and other stuff if it's not needed. Actually, I'm going into a whole different subject, so I'll stop now..
ps, if you listen to my track 'old&dirty' the kix/snares are re-sampled the way I described above.

guys im not usin a mpc, im usin fruty loops and cool edit..do u still have any tips

Those wern't MPC tips, they were tips.

Use the filter plug-in in cool edit to do what i said above

Yeah you have to filter that shit out. It's pretty easy.

Just remember that you are sacrificing some of the melody's sound when you do it. its not like the drums are the only thing that will be tweaked.
