Which snare do you prefer?

[Matt Smith]

Snare 1
Snare 2

The first one but what's difference btw?
Pre-delay? If so, you can try to find a value that match with the tempo (60/bpm).

I like the second one......but that's just me... :Spin:

 

[Matt Smith]

No, no difference in verb parameters, just a different sample mixed in.
Feel free to let me know how the reverb sounds too, though...(not enough/too much? too many highs/lows? room too big/small? tail too long/short?)

Thanks guys.

i like the first one the best if you used one for the whole song. the second one might sound cool during the first mellow part though. then switch to the first one for the heavy stuff. the second one adds something to the mellow stuff. i think it is too much when it gets heavy though. kinda blends in more, maybe too much which is why i liked the first one for the heavy stuff, seems better suited for the distorted guitars. sounding really good though

 

[SteelRat]

The second one sounds much more full...but then again, I like my snares with some body to them...

Dawn, my ears or my monitors or both must be total crap....

2nd snare all the way to the bank my man. 1st stuck out like a thumb up a bum when i first heard it.

 

[Kazrog]

I definitely prefer the second snare, it sounds WAY more natural and sits in the track better. The other snare isn't bad though.

 

[Ermz]

Yeah, second one, definately. The first is a bit too hollow and lacking in body.

Guys, I have to be honest, I'm totally embaressed . My first feeling was "on the fly" but decided to listen it again and again and I have to admit I do not hear a noticeable difference between the two files. I'm really starting to wonder if I must keep doing "sound tech" If I can't hear a difference when everybody seems to hear an unquestionable difference using words like
"definately", "way more natural", "all the way"....
I'm not a golden ear, that's not breaking news, I already knew it but... wow.
Or is there something wrong with my player?
I'll try on different monitoring systems cause it's really bothering me.

 

[~BURNY~]

Ok I get it, more low/mid , lower pitch on the 2nd.... Is it better? I don't know.... Now I can see (hear) how much it is important to listen at high spl (my bad)... :Spin: I still prefer the first one.

For me first snare sounds more natural (is it sample of real one snare?), second have more body, but for me as a drummer it seems more artificial (looks like sample from D4?)

 

[DIOBOLIC5150]

I like the first one better.

agreed

 

[NathanSoulfracture]

2nd one sits in the mix better.

 

[Black neon bob]

first one sounds better to me...

 

[Loner]

I like the second one a bit more.
...but you should break out the good old folding chair again!

 

[Mendel]

snair 1 sounds better to me. the second snair sounds a bit like 80's pop . . i my opinion.

Hey Matt, I just have discovered (thanks to James) that you were not living in Greece !!! HAHAHA, how weird is it that someone lives in a city called Athens and not being the "real" one

P.S. : That was really very interesting !
