Skrillex, Zomboy, Filthzilla etc. Snares

[jrisreal]

I thought Koan's snares were pretty much the same as skrillex's? Except for that one where its a metallic ringy sound instead of the "distorted at 200Hz square attack" snare.

Similar, but Koan's are snappier and have less release. Also, they sound cleaner.

it happened that long ago to already be nostalgic about it?... how long have i been here??

Use snappy clap and a punchy snare sample in layers until you have a pretty good source sample.

then Its all about a super compressed 200hz punch man try an EQ / Comp / EQ until desired sound is achieved.

This is what got it for me^. I just crank the 200hz (or wherever the snare hits) way up in an EQ so it hits hard.

Im shit at making snares but the one's in your track sound pretty sick

Im listening through headphones, but maybe have them a little louder and cut the frequencies in your bass's that are occupied by the snare.

Filthzilla is where he is because of how often he releases tracks.

[Dystinkt]

lol filthzilla's big enough in the game for a sound like thread?

I never thought I would see this day *tear running down face*

i still remember the DannyDubstep days, and the time his mate came on and threatened to kill everyone

its been a long journey.. so proud..

Those were the days.

I also remember a just a few weeks ago, when he was trying to DJ with his decks not plugged in. He really has come a long way in such little time...

They grow up so fast

Deepheads gonna hate.

They just jelly they can't yoi.

[deadly_habit]

who can't yoi at this point it's like as basic a sound as lfo to cutoff

Yeah anyone can make a yoi,

but perfecting the yoi is the next part

inb4 no such thing as a good yoi.

[benjam]

Haha.... yoi

who cares about skrillex snares? Koan snares are waaay better IMO.

This. The snares in "Meanwhile, in the future" are the shit!

[DJ Crackle]

Newfags can't yoi?

Agreed. this thread seems to have gone off on a tangent, but thanks for all the help!

All i can say is that KOAN Sound snares are simply the same snares that i seek pitched up a couple of semitones.

This is the closest i was able to come to these snares : Soundcloud

they seem pretty close, what do you guys think??

Not bad man, sounds pretty good. Have you tried using a transient shaper to get more attack out of it ? Also less decay/release on the snare will make it sound alot snappier. Just experiment though, you will eventually get some really solid snares.

Man that fuckin Stevie Wonder song is unreal! big up!

I hate all big snares like this, im all for claps and rimshots with nice reverb, and natural sounding tight snare hits. none of this stuff that sounds like a fuck load of white noise.

the white noise 200hz boost snares is what bro is all about
never got why people are so about em

[sunny_b_uk]

you dont need to layer for the extra punch in the bro snares, you can even use any synth to make snares like that.
just make sure it has a lot of harmonics, clip the volume and EQ boost plenty with a couple of sharp peak EQ points in the 200hz zone and definitely in the 100hz area as well for a more deeper thump.
the koan sound snare is bit of a similar technique but layer with a breakbeat snare/a raw snare from a drumkit and compress+squash it loads (i like dynakiller for this) and use a tonne of drive and input db from any saturator plugin. also clipping and distorting helps (sounds cleaner when clipping imo). bounce and lower the volume level after + EQ notch out bad frequencies. it will sound spot on once u surgically get rid of the bad frequencies and it will be hard hitting as f*ck.

its only a matter of time until filthzilla gets sampled out by filthBOYzillaZom and we ahve a whole new generation of bros to step with.

[Dub Scout]

thanks for your advice guys!

i like bro snares, its much harder to do than good claps. makes a good challenge
