1176 on snare....RULES

[Lasse Lammert]

yo lads...
I'm trying again to move away from the typical Sneap Snare a bit...not because I'm not loving it, but because I don't wanna sound like everyone else...

lately I'm digging ringy snares etc, today I was experimenting with the 1176 (Hardware) on snare.

well, actually it's a combination of that and the SSL.

I had the SSL on 10:1 fastest attack, .3s release, then fed the signal into the 1176 in FB mode and ANIHILATED it...then some clipping from the apogee.

anyways, here's a wee sample with the most extreme settings, just to show what the 1176 is doing:

smpl1
smpl2
smpl3
smpl4

of course this is a bit taking the piss compression wise, but it shows that with slightly different settings it'll give you a nice shotgun snare, and with again a bit different settings (and a different tuning) you'll get fairly close to the In Flames type ringy snare.


so Morgan, you should perhaps try this.
Ermz: the attack was midway on this one, so it can get slower if needed, definitely provides enough "pop" IMO...and that although I limited it before the 1176

enjoy and feel free to use the samples if you need an extreme sounding snare

Dude ... OMG this may be my new snare .....lol

I really like it actually, its tight but very very toneful! nice work lad!

Cool man. I've never had much success with 1176 on snare on anything other than parallel tracks, but then again I don't have 'all-buttons-mode' on mine sadly.

VCA-style, slow attack compression on drums is still my thing, but I'm glad you're finding new ways to process tracks to your liking.

yes, yes it does.
attack all the way left
release all the way right
Win

I actually had the attack only midway for these (in all button mode), so yep, with the attack all the way left it's definitely long enough to let the pop through (only in All Button Mode though)
