Snare Reverb Effect

[GearMan2point0]

Joey Sturgis has one killer reverb on his snare. I am not sure if he uses z4's or if he's using plate verb. I just would like to know how he does the snare whip thing.

I hear many times where the snare gets hit and the verb is HUGE and then fades out but then whips right back in. I can imagine it's decently simple but just having the HUGE reverb effect isn't easy for me. I would like some help.

It's just a case of automating a reverb plugin on and off.

If you listen to the snare at around 16 seconds into it, You can hear a huge snare verb come in and fade out a little and then whip back in....It's so great, I have tried to get this sound but can't find it.

kinda like this?

it's just reverse snare before the actual snare... i'm sure you could spice it up a little bit with some reverse reverb or whatever.

that is horrible haha

yeah what tim said, just just the initial transient from reverse.

Like this(except I did it with vocals just as an example):

you guys talking about reverse reverb sound ? so...it's just reversed snare with Rverb or any other reverb sound, room sample etc, no magic there

+1
sometimes i like to get fancy and automate some panning so that the reverse snare comes from one of the sides, swings into the other, and then returns to middle in time for the snare hit. It's quite splendid sounding when done right

 

[timislegend]

...example? cause that seems horrible imo.

 

[olif8]

wrong.

What? No, I'm not.

Ok there's a lot of ways to do this.
You can export a dry snare, import it on a new track and add reverb (to your liking) to that track.
For the reverse effect you export it WITH the reverb then reverse it, edit out the actual snare hit so you just keep the reverse reverb effect, and slap that baby right behind your snare hit.

 

[Joel4662]

wrong.

Um... Can you elaborate lol?

 

[timislegend]

bahaha! really?

...how he does the snare whip thing.

wrong.

***this is not the right answer. he is asking how to make a "reverse snare effect" ...which is what was in the sample he provided. the answer is not "automating a reverb plugin", it is reversing a snare sample.

 

[corybrunnemann]

What? No, I'm not.

you're not gunna get a reverse sound from automating a plug-in...

and if you're talking about the huge verb snare, Joey and i'd guess MOST people don't automate reverb for it, that's probably the worst way i could think of doing it. i use a room snare and verb it a little.. on a separate track. its not rocket science.

and for reverses i don't use any reverb, just reverse the sample. that's it.

 

[olif8]

I misread the initial post, in my defense it was fairly poorly worded. And my answer was pretty badly worded too, I of course meant automating a separate track with a verb plugin on and off. My bad.

which is what was in the sample he provided.

Yea, after I posted my answer.


Sorry guys, I was (almost) wrong. Didn't mean to cause any confusion.

 

[timislegend]

I of course meant automating a separate track with a verb plugin on and off.

still, that will not accomplish anything other than just automating reverb parameters. sonically, it will not constitute any effect other than reverb (afaik).

in order to get a "reverse-reverb" effect that can be used on vocals or drums, etc. you would just reverse an audio file, apply reverb to taste, then print the effected reversed audio file ...and finally reverse said printed audio file. which will sound like this

or just a reverse instrument effect, like with a snare. you just need to reverse an audio file of a snare drum and place it right before the initial snare drum hit... which would sound like this.

now, what exactly are you talking about with regards to automating a reverb plugin on another track?

it would be nice to hear an example of what you are talking about.


as far as i am concerned, you are completely wrong... not almost. just sayin'


***no automation was taken place in my examples.

 

[olif8]

I was referring to

I hear many times where the snare gets hit and the verb is HUGE

I was talking about muting and umuting via automation a track with a verb on. I guess I must just do it in a retarded way.

I wasn't talking about reverse snares, because as I said, I misread the initial post, which I've already apologized for.

Not a "massive" verb, but still an example of what I was referencing. On for one hit, off for the next, on for the next, etc.
