that snare has probably (no I didn't listen, but his snares often sound this way) been brickwalled and probably layered with some white noise for the high end fizz

Use parametric EQ2 and boost the main snare at around 200hz

Now that is an idea I like the sound of.

Never thought of that.
I think I've pretty much got the Skrillex snare down. Used it in 'Walk The Plank'.

I caught the Walk the Plank remix on Soundcloud, epic stuff man. That track is blowing up

This^

Was stoked when I heard the BMTH sample before the drop, worked perfectly. Keep it up!

I like that tune man. Like the stereo imagery in it, patches sounding mean as fuck too!

For example, have 2 snare samples hit on the grid, have 1 start a few ms before, and 1 a little later. Do this, on top of a highpassed kick or even a Tom around 150-200hz to add more punch.

THIS. Discovered this by accident a while ago - it's amazing how thick it can make your snare sound. You have to have the right samples though.

Haha cheers.

Things have really worked out for me since I stole Skrillex's harddrives...

I've made something I feel could classify as a skrillex-type snare, but where can I upload it?

I think filthzilla needs to band/compress, his suff sounds sick, just doesn't seem to hit hard enough imo
Maybe more audible sub could help

Skrillex and Zomboy snares are beefy as fuck. I think I might just have a go at this

Cheers for all the tips bromosexuals.

Anyone thought that maybe some sound engineer friend/ hookup of his just sent him an ultra - secret snare package for him to use ? xD

Where's all this coming from lol? That he doesn't make his own tunes or shit like that hahaha
Did that get leaked or something? xD

you guys are forgetting to add the exaggerated white noise crash he puts on his snares

_TraX_ · Post by **_TraX_** » Fri Jun 17, 2011 11:14 pm

How do we know that he made it ?

That's what sort of puzzles me, if we are wondering about how some artist made a certain sound, shouldn't we also think that maybe they just got it from a pack and added affects to it ?

Or maybe I'm just nub.
