Do u reverb your snares ?

This is my method:

Short room verb less than a second on send 1, Long ambient verb on send 2.

Build your kit into the short room verb, i.e. a little hi hat sent into it, a little snare etc.

Then have alternating snares slamming into the longer verb on send 2.

yer yer small room is good, there's also the 'room shot' technique, having a send jus catch a snare with a room reverb [a la proper dub stylee] automated up and down, this way there's variation in the loop and the reverb dun cloud up yer drums

flat beat - Mr Oizo

The song's bass and scratch sounds were made on a Korg MS-20, the drums on a TR-606 and an Akai S1000 was used to sample everything including the MS-20 bass. No effects were used.

I'm not a twat; I'm more of a tnuc. A big, glooping, moist tnuc with a radiant fragrance of cock fumes and cigarette smoke. So big that even your tiny, brittle reason preset drums sound like Phil Collins bashing a snare drum made of Michael Jackson's original skin, its got that much reverb.

Now, let me reiterate, Reverb is for twats.

I would but I'm too busy wanking over Margret Thatcher to the sounds of Status Quo to bother. Give me a few hours and I might have a look.

Hi my first post, so hello

I have the problem of deciding whether to use reverb or compression lol

I do my beats using emu and Mackie desk, i can send to reverb from desk but then once recorded down to audio its a pain to compress if i want to.

I still haven't figured a way round this yet.

You'll have to explain your problem a bit better. The pain to compress part, in what way is it a pain?

I use the aux send 1 long 2 short trick.

I put a bit on everything really, even if it's a case of turning it up til I notice it then back down til I cant, waht I usually find its where I stop turning it down if I bypass the verb you'll notice it go dry, so there's obviously something there, it's just very very subtle. Sometimes though, it's nice to not be subtle, just make sure you've got a dry signal there as well, otherwise you end up with mush.

it depends on what your doing but i always like to keep the reverb to a minimum on my snare.

it depends on the club you are playing at but those big rooms have a natural reverb/echo all their own. So if you keep the snare sharp... when it hits in the club. you'll be able to hear the natural echo in the room... follow me?

every stage and room are differnt, so your sound kinda changes with your venue??

i'm not saying don't put reverb on your snare... i'm saying just make sure it hits hard.

sometimes, if layering, i'll have one dry and er...one wet.

I normally have 1 channel for my main drums (no reverb) and 1 for hits i put a reverb on.

have them outputted to the same bus and compress together so they sound tight

It doesn't have to be all or nothing. You can alternate dry and wet snares.

sometimes.

reverb has a way making things sound 'pretty', especially emulations of nice halls and plates. sometimes that works perfectly.

sometimes it really weakens the overall vibe-- you need shit to be upfront and banging and it's just...sitting...nicely... mixing nicely w/ the rest of the tune. killing 'verb can really help things snap.

like everything else in writing and mixing music, no hard and fast rules on 'verb-- it's about the tune and the vibe you're going for.

w/ that said, the spring reverb on my roland space echo pretty much deads everything else about 90% of the time. oh, were it to be stereo....

Do u reverb your snares ?
