Fuck you, I am.

Over the years I've bought Logic 9, Logic X, Massive, Battery and as of yesterday Reason 7.

But for some reason I can't justify buying sample packs. They give you these "Demos" of the sounds in the pack and I still don't trust myself buying sounds. What if I really do not like most of the sounds in the pack? Idk, to me its just so risky.

SunkLo wrote:Nah that's pretty much the consensus on Vengeance. They just process the piss out of them so they wow people right out of the gate, but there's really not much wiggle room to make them sound the way you want.

Are you supposed to un-process them or something? You're not making any sense to me.

- Look at spectrum analyzer.
- Tune them together.
- Adjust ADSR in your sampler on those two samples so they don't contain any useless noise after the snare.
- Invert phase of one snare and look if the 200hz peak increased or decreased, leave where it is bigger.
- So now you have your source sound.
- Boost the body a bit.
- Don't boost highs.
- Use iZotope Alloy 2 for processing your snares. One instance of it is enough to process a snare to the full.
- When looking at the spectrum, only the body should be accented, the rest (highs and mids) should be flat.
- Put a 48db highpass in before the body so the snare doesn't contain any useless muddy content.
- 2-4 db boost on the body is enough.
- Use multiband transient shaper.
- Boost attack on highs, 1-3db.
- Decrease sustain on mids, 3-7db. Use anything that works.
- Go to harmonic exciter.
- Drive the highs to add sparkle. (This is how you make it sparkle, and that's why you don't boost highs)
- Use tape/retro mode, tube and warm doesn't work.
- Use drive between 2-7.
- Adjust dry wet so it sounds good.
- Now multiband compression.
- Compress highs a lot, but don't compress the transient.
- Use ratio from 2 to 5, attack from 10ms to 30ms, release from 40ms to 70ms.
- Use soft knee.
- Enable auto gain.
- Barely compress the mids, but still compress.
- Use small ratio like 1.5. (I used 1.2)
- Use bigger release value.
- Compress lows to bring up the body hit.
- Ratio around 2, attack around 20ms, release around 60ms, find the threshold yourself.
