How do you sample a snare when in most instances you will have a kick drum beneath?

Depends what you are sampling it from. It wont always have a kick under it but if it has, the low end can be cut out with a hi pass filter.

That makes sense, thank you.

also phase inversion can work if you have a clean loop with just the kick and snare. double up your track, one with just the kick looped, the other with the kick and snare, add a utility plugin (in ableton) on one of the tracks and click the phase left/right buttons. this should remove the kick and leave you with the clean snare sample...

+1 !

Sometimes, the result is bad, because loop isn't clean.

Just use low pass filter, i always "clean" my snares, i cut everything up to almost 300hz, and it sounds good in the mix most of the times sometimes i go even higher.

Sorry to pick up on this again. When you say double up the track, do you mean, one in the left side of stereo - one on the right?
