CHARLES J - ONE SHOT DEATH SNARES - AVAILABLE NOW!!!

Hey dude! This pack features 6 original one shots and 1 Custom SNR which contains 4 Hard Hits, just for a bit more variation in the pack. =D

And just for giggles, here's a rundown of the name for each one shot (which oddly enough, are very aptly named concerning the sonics of each sample):
1. Custom Fatality Snare (4 hard hits)
2. 9MM
3. Hollow Point
4. AK47
5. Claymore
6. Glock
7. Grenade

=D <3
 
Just curious about this, as everyone has different ways of going about things, but around how many db's does your "one shot" track sit under your dynamic snare track?
This goes for kicks too, I guess!

EDIT: Also, do you automate the one shot's volume down in blast sections and/or during fills?
 
I'm doing all of my triggering via Slate's Trigger, so.... what I do is:

Audition a bunch of snares that I KNOW have a ton of articulations, maybe blend 1 or 2 of those (sometimes more) but while I'm doing this I'll load up a one-shot sample and just start blending it in slightly.

It differs for EVERY mix so I can't give exact number, but let's say my dynamic snares are at 0dB, depending on the sonic character of the one shot, it'd probably be....well, just loud enough to make a difference but not go past the limit to where my snare is all machine gunned-out.

Same for kicks but I give no fucks about dynamic, one-shot, etc... I use whatever works, usually a blend of anywhere from 2 to 7 or 8 samples... all different levels, pitches, polarities, etc...

For blasts and fills, I automate my ENTIRE SNR buss just as I would if I was NOT using a one shot.... if i wasnt using a one shot I might not necessarily HAVE to automate during blasts/fills but it's EXTREMELY rare for me to not use at LEAST 1 or 2 one shot.... I'd say at LEAST two, both totally different just to fill in what I'm missing from my other SNR samples.

I call it: SAMPLE STACKING.

FUCK IT.

JUST DO IT!

As P-E so elegantly put it:

^^^hahaha, thanks dude =D!! REALLY appreciate it!

I'm already working around some ideas for my next pack, which will be my "Death Kicks" (subject to change). SO STOKED. Started it recently.
