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?
 
Thank You!

oh ok, i will check this tonight.  can it differentiate between different sounds (closed hat, hi hat, etc..)
 
I have a loop here I want to replicate but with my own drum sounds.  Drum Replacer only has 3 slots, the drum part I have has about 6.  
 
Thank You!

Here's a Melodyne video on doing exactly that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-2oZSeNBRA

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).
