  • In this tutorial we will be removing drums from a song or a sample in Ableton. Note: this is focused on REMOVING drums, not necessarily EXTRACTING drums. The whole point of this video is to simulate the drums not existing in the song, where you can then add in your own drums later. This is perfect for those of you who want to separate the drums from a track so you can make a more interesting launchpad cover.

    Ask and you shall receive! This has been one of my most requested tutorial videos, so I hope you learn a lot! In this video I will teach you how to *_remove_* drums from a song or sample (NOTE: not necessarily extract, just remove) which can be extremely helpful if you're creating a launchpad cover and you want to play the drums with one hand and sample the rest of the song to be played with your other. Enjoy!

    Extra tip: Always turn off "Snap" on your samples. It typically cuts off a tiny bit from the end of the sample which creates that choppiness you were talking about. :)

      Ive never had a sample been chopped by snap. you must not use warp often, what you're talking about implies some really inefficient technique

  • @heiakim

    and you can create ghost kick and sidechain for this kind of drum removing. You can also adjust the attack and release time. Good job InspirAspir. I like almost all of your vids. Keep goin'!

    instead of looking up bpm, turning off warp etc... just click the slave button right underneath warp, it takes the songs bpm automatically and makes it the master bpm

  • @ilmarcello
    @ilmarcello 3 года назад +3

    TIP: you can boost the choppinng part by selecting the part of the song you want to be drumless, taking care of it to be precisely cut, and simply counting how many beats it's long. Then you paste it inside simpler in slice mode choosing "region" as slicing method, in which you write down the number of beats you counted. here you can adjust the fade in of all the slices. afther that, simply right click and convert to drum rack. All the slices will be automatically numbered in progression, so you don't need to rename them manually. This saves you all the time you spent chopping, and doesn't require all the bpm matching thing you did at the beginning. At the end are just a couple of moves: take out the part, count the beats, slice by region, export to drum rack. Keep up the good work and hello from italy!

  • @CilusseYT
    @CilusseYT 7 лет назад

    Nice tips! Anyway I would still recommend to make your sampling the normal way and then Fade In some of the samples once they're already in the drum rack.
    (If you are creating a launchpad cover obviously). This will save some time by not having to create a midi clip then export it etc...

    • @InspirAspir
      @InspirAspir  7 лет назад +1

      From my experience this only works if the drum hits are identical, otherwise if the drum is layered with another sound and the audio files aren't identical then it doesn't work as well. Maybe I wasn't doing it right? Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    • @SimplicityOfficial
      @SimplicityOfficial 7 лет назад

      Thats true! You have to find VERY similar drum hits for this to work usually.

    One thing that could make this video better is to show how to remove more than one drum hits in one sample because I have been trying to figure that out for ages.

    • @InspirAspir
      @InspirAspir  7 лет назад

      Do this process for every drum hit, only have one drum per sample. Then add the fades, effectively removing all drums from the song. Then export your newly drum-removed song and sample accordingly. At that point you can sample your non-drum song to have multiple "drum hits" in a given sample, but this won't really be the case since if you do it right there shouldn't be any drums at all. Hope that makes sense

  • @clockbeat
    @clockbeat 6 лет назад

    The song im doing a launchpad cover on has a chord stab, and then a half a beat after there's a kick, and and when the kick plays the melody continues. I want to play the chord stab and play the melody with 1 button (without the kick) but play my own kick on another button. But since the kick is in the middle of the sample, I don't know how to remove the drum, because you can't fade in and out in the middle of a sample (in other words you cant make the fade shape look like V in the middle of the sample). Any help and suggestions would help thx

    • @InspirAspir
      @InspirAspir  6 лет назад

      Just go through and remove the drums from your song using this method first, then if necessary, you can export your audio file (now without drums) and then add that back into Ableton in a different audio track, then sample that from there. That should allow you to create samples of any size/length that don't have drums in the song, if that makes sense?

    • @InspirAspir
      @InspirAspir  7 лет назад

      That's tough to avoid, honestly the best you could hope for is some magic. You could try to EQ either the drum or vocals and isolate them and work from there, but that may not sound clean. Once vocals are introduced the process becomes a little unreliable unfortunately

    • @InspirAspir
      @InspirAspir  6 лет назад +2

      Or, alternatively, cut up your song to remove all the drums this way (you can make small cuts, so the space between drum hits shouldn't be smaller than the minimum sample size) then export your song with newly removed drums. Now from here you can sample your drum-less song, and not worry about making samples that collide with your drums

      I did this since most people intend to remove the drums to use them in a launchpad cover, so putting them in the drum rack could save some time but I do agree that the whole process of exporting them and doing it that way takes more time, to be honest I forgot you could change the fades on an audio file. Oh well, can't change the video now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • @Evacer
    @Evacer 7 месяцев назад

    Wtf did I just watch. It seems that all you have done is make a drum rack and MIDI file by decreasing the volume at the points in the song that have drum sounds. So now you have a drum rack without drum sounds. And that's fine, but you cannot use the actual drums that were in the original file. And you have no even isolated the drums. You just turned down the volume at the beginning of a bunch of ~0.5 second clips. I'm not very experienced, but it seems like the best way to make a drum rack without drum sounds or with drum sounds, from any track, would be to EQ them out and isolate the sounds completely.
