sounds like you are dropping the loops straight into your sequencer?

TBH thats a very boring way to use loops, anyone can do that

The answer lies in the traditional way to use sampled loops. By chopping them up into pieces (per drum hit) then putting them into your project but re arranged or even making a whole new loop out of the pieces.

In which case you just dont use the kicks from the loop.. simple

Really the sky is the limit when you do it this way

oh yeah check out Recycle for chopping breaks, it even exports a midi file to help you play them back in time

It can also be done in Kontakt and Cubase

Oh No . I am chopping them up and trying to play with them in Logic itself. I have Recycle also, but never really messed with it. I am saying sometimes theres a nice part of the loop that has a kick on it. So i am saying how can i get it out. i am trying to chop it up as much as i can. but then sometimes it sounds a little off. I am not just trying to just take a loop and drop in it like that...

I have heard one trick, but have not tried it out for myself, so I don't know if it actually works. Supposedly, if you can get a sample of just the kick by itself, you can invert it and layer it on top of any of the regular kicks and it eliminates that sound. To me, it sounds OK in theory, but seems like the precision needed would be too time consuming to be practical. Unless it's dead-on, there would be just a muffled, muddy sound. Again, I have never had a need for this type of thing, so I can't testify to it. But, something to try, i suppose.

Thats exactly how you make acapellas out of the original and an instrumental version of a track in some cases.

Needs to be sample accurate, but can work well.

Have you tried anything like this yet?

oh right sorry i didnt realise that

Well what i do in that case is mute the slice which has the kick and other sound on top.
then if you're lucky part of the loop will contain that same sound clean further on, so i'll copy one of the clean ones over

or you could find a suitable replacement in your single hits sample library.. if you have vec and tte packs im sure you will find something close or even the same

apart from that the only option is to hi pass the slice which has the kick, but it never works very well

sidechain.
