Hello KVR pepz its been a a while
I'm about to embark on a project that includes editting 1000s of recorded audio takes into one hit drum kits. I have had a look around "the google" but can not seem to find much info on using A.I or Algorythms to chop up samples. Loads of stuff around with all bells and wistles but I'm just looking for something that will save me time in processing my workload thats cost effective.
I thankyou all for taking the time to read this.
Much love,
QTrax

You don't need AI for this type of problem. The perfect utility has been made for that already, but sorry to say you're 6 years too late:

that page is now offline.
I'd say that for example a seasoned Python programmer should be able to bash out something just like this in a week or so. Simple matter of programming: find the silence, chop the rest out.
We are the KVR collective. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Session 2 Wav (Windows and Mac) by Björn Bojahr is a full functional freeware app, should do the trick to a good degree and is up to date.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Looking like some great solutions. I hate the idea of using algrorythms for creative stuff but using it to do the leg work is a no brainer.

AI is text based so no. It's also a glorified web browser and Spell Check that talks back. Oh, it can pester a friend to do art.

Actually, yeah, pretty much. Machine "learning" (statistical analysis of patterns) might be the closest, but most of it is is just decision making decided by the programmers (for better or worse).
Now, artificial stupidity (AS), that's real.

Truly, as many older (and newer) programs, clearly written by humans, have had me asking "What was the programmer smoking when he/she decided to do it 'that' way?".

You’re looking for batch processing.
So called “AI” for audio editing doesn’t seem to exist as a consumer level product, but this is exactly the use case it should be applied to.
I used to use the predecessor to Myriad (now owned/still supported by Zynaptic), which seems could be possible to get the same results without Myriad by using apple scripting instead? So I’ve heard, but haven’t tried.
In Myriad, you can select different modules (scripts) and run them in series to get your result, so for example, a 5 minute recorded take of audio, it could slice and export at thresholds you determine, or it could even process each slice with a certain effect, or apply changes in loudness… whatever you need, it can batch process to a super fast workflow.
