Massive Snare

[SvenAHC]

hey all,

yesterday i was trying some new stuff and i was a litte frustated that i wasn't able to reproduce a similar snare sound:



what i did:
- parallel compression
- made the snare a bit more roomy
- parallel hall reverb
- parallel reversed reverb
both reverbs eq/compressed and panned a bit

the problem is that i don't managed to get this powerfull presence in it. my snare gets too wet and roomy whereby it looses all its energy.

it also sounds to me that there are more snares combined ?! maybe i should experiment with that some more ?

*will post clip later

Possibly the most obvious use of samples ever, sort that out before you start worrying about reverb.

Sample a tabletop from ten feet away. Or learn how to tune drums. A properly tuned drum goes way further than any sample will.

I would be so fucking pissed as a drummer to go through all of that trouble with my obviously nice kit and have the engineer hand me this horse shit

^ thought exactly the same. but I also thought that on their records, really a pitty that they always are sampled so robotic.

totally, but i'm not a drummer, im just curious how the sample is build up..

 

[Wishx]

blend a gunshot with your snares (tune it to your top). Problem solved

 

[Jaymz]

The only real part of that (the overheads) aren't even audible

I was wondering why the cymbals all sounded the same.

 

[sander]

I'm pretty sure you can buy this exact sample.

So robotic they even quantized the video..
I can't hear the snare being played in that, the ghosthits/lower hits sounds weird as fuck, try different one-shot samples..

EDIT:
I meant the real snare, all I hear is a sample..

Haha, why even bother to record the drums at all? I mean, for that sound, you might aswell just hook every drum up with a trigger at practice and program the damn cymbals. This shit sucks.

 

[Studdy]

Surprised to see a fan running right beside the kit. You think it would be noisy as hell. If i was trying to achieve this sound I would just program it. Very artificial sounding. Or perhaps use real cymbals with electronic pads.

 

[JeffTD]

The fan is running because that's not a clip of the actual performance. What he hits, cymbal wise, doesn't match up with what's being heard.

He hits the left crash and you hear nothing.

I made a May Fire snare in my nashville snare series. It wasn't that hard, just takes a woody snare, a ringy snare, and intense compression understanding. Lots of the tone is room.

Need a shower after reading this thread. I almost can't believe at times that this is an engineering board.

It's cute that you think this is an engineering board.
