I'm trying to take an existing drum loop and slice it up so that I can put the kick and snare on separate tracks in order to add reverb to just
the snare and eq the drums differently. Has anyone done this in Live?
If so, what is the easiest way to approach this? I'm new to Live.
TIA,
Tom

Do you want to 'slice' a wav/aif file ? Or is it a midi-file?
Supposing the first one: if it's a stereo-file, one can separate/'slice' the channels into two mono files with the help of any one sound-editor - given snare and drums have been recorded strictly to their own left/right channel.
If you don't trim the length of these two mono-files, it will be a breeze to swap them into Live onto two different tracks with their different effects of your choice and let them play in sync, given they've been warped/looped identically.
Midi-files must take a detour before they can get Live-d since Live is strictly audio-files (for now midi-controls only)
