Inb4 footwork snare? Surely you mean just an 808 snare?
Soundcloud
Well kind of. Listen to 0:11. These snares sound 808 all right but processed too, they're less punchy, more saturated, sound like a whip urging the tune to move forward. Has aynone tried achieving that sound?

What does it take to make a one? Tape saturation, layering or is it a sample that I could easily download somewhere? Thank you

just dl a trap sample pack (the lex luger one would be a good start)

the drums are fairly similair.

gotta love that mpc compression.

MPC compression! Didn't think about that. Is there any way to emulate it? Probably not, if it would be easy people people wouldn't talk about MPC sound. I'll try playing with bit crushing and saturation then

there are ways to mimick it (but dont ask me )

you could always pick up a cheap mpc haha

sample the sample, get dat snare soundin twice yh, maybe pitch it around a bit too

it just sounds like an 808 snare high passed and maybe even with a slowish attack on it too, try putting a pbitcrusher on it though or compressing it or sumamt i dunno, doesnt sound that special like

^I agree. Maybe even layer with a soft, faded in hi hat.
You really can sample it though, that'd be easiest.

check out Toneboosters' bitcrusher for this sorta thing. Pretty sure that it was designed for sampler bitrate emulation (though I think more SP12 than MPC but it still may help)
