![]() ![]() Processing your snare can involve a lot of devices and techniques but the standards are level balancing, EQ, saturation, compression, distortion and reverb: You may have an awesome snare on it’s own but when you put it in the mix it may need further processing and refinement. ![]() I recommend processing them individually, then as a group and finally in the whole mix of your song. Now that you have your samples picked and offset it’s time to processes them. Adjust the overall length of the snare during playback using the decay time on each element.For the body and tail it is helpful to make adjust the attack time slower so the transient cuts through.(Fades on the arrangement can also be used) Use the volume envelope in the Simpler device to adjust how fast the sample starts and ends.Using a synth will provide more granular control over release time and tone. Use a synthesizer to generate noise for the tail.Precede the body sample with the transient sample.The benefit to layering and offsetting is that we get the best parts of each sample and we can later process and balance them individually to make a greater sounding snare. Some producers prefer to have them on individual audio tracks in the arrangement view so they can visually see the waveforms and line up the samples appropriately. Layering can be done in many different ways, but many prefer to put them all in one drum rack for ease of processing and programming. Samples are offset so they are not competing with each other and combine to form the various stages of the snare. Once you’ve found your samples it’s time to layer and offset them so the combined sounds is greater than any one of them on their own. LAYERING & OFFSETTING Offset layers in MIDI Use two separate noises in different frequency ranges and lengths for the tail.Add reverb to the tail to give it depth and dimension.Pick a sample with some noise at the end for the tail.This is the final stage of the snare and is often re-created in electronic music with the use of noise. When the snare drum is hit the sound vibrations cause the wires to rattle and create a cracking and sizzle sound. ![]() This stage is defined by the metal wires on the bottom of the snare drum known as the snare wires.
