Hiding & removing drums from samples

Another method is to trim a few milliseconds from the start of your chops right after the drum transients. This gives a similar effect to using envelopes but without causing the ducking effect since the attack stays intact. The timing of the chops won’t be affected much because you’re only removing a tiny bit. This approach also keeps the tails of the drum hits, giving the loop more of a "percussion loop" vibe compared to the envelopes technique. The new starting point of these tails acts as softer transients, especially noticeable if you create a sample loop without adding extra drums.

Nice yeah that’s a good one 👌

Love it man. I do most of my chopping and composing on Ableton but run things through the SP. this video makes me wanna just go full sp lol

[@spvidz]

Its really fun but very different feeling to a DAW. I like both for different reasons

[@Maex_well]

great content as always 👌..but why simply not cut the sample a bit later and add less attack? Maybe it`s new with the firmware update, but exporting patterns gives you individual stems to import in your DAW.

[@spvidz]

That is another option yes, I've found that sometimes that can knock chops out of time a little but yeah, I could have included it too

You don’t actually need “side-chain” compression - you can achieve much the same effect by having a compressor across your main material set to a high ratio, but with the threshold also set high. Then you just mix in a (very) overbalanced kick (or whatever) above the threshold level in order to get the side-chain-like effect.

[@spvidz]

Thanks for that. The envelopes can help get a bit more duck as well 👍

[@dopefreshnation4097]

MPC stem separating on the standalone is trash imo, it filters a good majority of drums but you’ll still hear fades in & out every so often

[@spvidz]

Yeah I've not had much luck with it either. I think it really depends on the original sample...

Dropping knowledge. Very useful info. Much appreciated.

That beat tho… 👍🏽

[@digchopflip]

I personally go for the drum syncopation where I can

[@artisans8521]

Shattered, same problem here.....house to hot for my liking, sleep evading me. Boring F1. Great winner. Byebye MAX 😂. Lots of work restructuring my house for sale by a new realtor, new photos made today by me. No time for beats. Nice video, off course..... no buts there.

Elo mate. Been watching your vids for a while now, and am finally picking up my first SP next Monday if all goes to plan! ;) Could you listen to a track named "Mr Right On' by Calibre, and try and do something similar? it'd be really wicked if you could demo summin like that? The B-line is from a Miles Davis tune I think. Proper nice jazzy vibes... Do you have an affiliate link for BaxMusic, or Anderton's or anywhere as I'll purchase through that if so. Cheers bud ;)

[@spvidz]

Hey mate! I'll have a look into that. I've got a couple of affiliate links you could try: Amazon: amzn.to/3XiNwYg Thomann Music: thmn.to/thoprod/529393?offid=1&affid=3237

This the sample from j cole wet dreams🔥

[@VelVibez]

Yeah I was thinking where did I hear this from lol

[@HOLLASOUNDSMUSIC]

If you can't remove or reduce the drums in the sample using EQ then don't use it

[@digchopflip]

Bruh what

[@spvidz]

lol you're missing a ton of good samples if you use that philosophy

[@decaystar]

Come on, where are the Polyend Tracker videos .....? ;) You have been making SP404 content videos for 7 years, when is it time for something new? ;)

[@spvidz]

All in good time 😉
