Can a filter, filter out most of the kick in a sample?

| I'm trying to put in a sample I cut from a track to remix it, but I dont want the kick thats already in it. Ive been using eq, effects and filters to take out at least most of the kick. Is there something I'm not doing? How much of the kick can I possibly take out from the sample? |

Well you can take out much of the kick, but you're going to be cutting a whole bunch of the song unfortunately if you go the fitler/eq method.
Can you isolate the kick? Maybe (unlikely) you can get the kick, layer it with the actual song, and reverse the phase of either the kick or the song, but my gut tells me it won't work well at best, and most likely won't work at all. Might be worth a try though. |

| Figured out a way to incorporate my own kick in the sample. Thanks your trouble though. |

| depends on the sample. if the sample is a kick only you can pretty much filter it all away but then i dont really see any reason for using it. you can also play with levelautomation or mute/erase tool. |

| you could always program a kick along side the track, use that to trigger an EQ so that you are only filtering when the kick is hitting. Wouldn't really call that a remix tho. |

Is it a drum sample loop? |

If the bassline is entirely different as well as the leads, efx and some of the drums then, yes I would consider it a remix. |

its a voice effect sample with a kick drum, nothing else. |

Why can't you just edit (Chop) the drum sound out? |

Accurate EQ should do it as voice and a kick shouldn't really occupy too much of the same frequencies.
The other option is to get the kick (there must be on hit on it's own), flip the phase and then layer that over all of the original kicks - they will cancel each other out.
Was going to suggest cutting away the center spread of the image but the vocal will be centered as well so no luck. |

because when using Audacity to edit the sample, the entire track has a kick so there's no way to edit out the sample i want. |
