Its a fucking sick tune though

i love the suggestion to "add effects"

Effects...... such as...

this + a tube/tape distortion effect.

yeah, find a snare that peaks at 200hz. layer it with a clap with long reverb. then some NY compression.

yeah, i just wanted to throw in that they vocode their bass. and do it SO well. got some sounds very similar to this when i was experimenting with vocoding bass and then re-sampling (standard - high res band reject, saturation, phase, chorus) and layering it with some reeses.

anyways, going to work on this when i get home from work.

Camelcrusher is a free and easy one to get this sound

I was wondering if anyone could either point me in the direction of a good tutorial on this or provide a nice short sweet explanation of what you're talking about?
Would really really appreciate it.

or just youtube "vocoder tutorial [your daw here]"

i recorded myself saying some words as well as gibberish. make a reese bass as the CARRIER signal, use your voice as the MODULATOR (words or gibberish - pitching DOWN your voice sample is also a trick i picked up). from here, you should have your reese bass saying whatever it is you recorded. layering this with plain reese's, compressing, and resampling will start to fill out the rest of the frequencies.

Good looks man

i used to do this with my snares when i used 2 make hip hop, its dead simple just eq boost loads in the 200hz area & distort, nothing else! nice song but i personally think that snare is a bit too distorted if u ask me.

distort how? what did you use?

After reading all of this I went and applied it last night. I found that after spiking the 200hz range on the snare, when I added the distortion it made it punch exactly the way I wanted. Something about the distortion is just like punch city.

I used camel crusher on the "Warm tube" setting, messed around a little and was pretty happy with it.

give me a Kryptic Mind style rim or Roland hit any day

Yes rim shots each and every.

I like you guys, so here's the snare from that tune originally posted, plus another one of Koan's snares heard in many of their tunes.

Someone actually compiled alot of their snares and put it up for download somewhere, just google KOAN Sound sample pack or whatever. They're so recognizable though, so I wouldn't use them myself

lol i think it's right above your post.. also i doubt the OP comes to this forum anymore

that would be two separate snares, not a sample pack :p

I've only found two snares out there. If you guys want some tight samples, I'd check out MakO's sample pack. They are a little over compressed, but they are perfect in glitch hop!
