Hello,
I am sorry if this is a noob or dup question, but I thought there was an easier way now rather than using AudioSnap (which doesn't work that great).
I have a drum loop I want to extract the groove out of. What is the best way to do this now?
It depends on what you actually want to do. You say you want to "extract a groove," but then you talk about replacing sounds. They don't involve the same functionality. Extracting a groove is so you can quantize one loop to another loop's rhythm. AudioSnap works fine for this if you know what you're doing. Drum replacement is a different animal. If the loop is short enough, I just drag one-shots over, line them up with the original sounds, and render as a loop.
The Melodyne tutorial is yet another way, however note that I don't think Essential can do this...you need Melodyne Editor (which is great anyway).
