Cleaning kick samples

Hi, I'm currently making a kick but one of the samples I am using has a high reverby kind of sound which I want to remove.

I've tried EQing this out but the problem I have is that if I do this I remove the nice clicky sound of the sample.

Does anyone know any methods or programs which could help me remove this noise?

Thanks

Have you tried a compressor + noise gate?

You could try a multiband compressor, where you would leave the low and mid bands untoutched. But on the high band, use a very low treshold with attack around 10-40ms (depenting on how snappy you want it to be).

Another technique would be making a copy of the sample, then apply a high pass filter on it, low pass filter on the other. And make a fast volume fade on the high frequency sample, then combine the two samples.

Best thing would be to do as described above. Use a high pass filter on your kick sample (preferably already converted to mono), then use this shape (copy to clipboard) for the noise reduction. This works fine for me in GoldWave 5.

You can always fade in the first part of the high-passed sample, that way you can keep the click at the start.
