What characteristics constitutes a brostep snare?

[re6ter]

Dat 200hz mega punch? Title says it all, give thoughts.

edit: thought I should mention I am asking this because I want to avoid this type of snare. Seems to have negative reception among some of the veteran members here. Overall I think it is better to avoid some conventions such as the brostep snare to carve a unique path in sound design.

edit2: music is subjective. I am not saying I dont want to use the snare because someone online told me it sucked. I am saying it is overused and generic as fuck, that is why I am avoiding it. that is what I mean by "negative reception among some of the veteran members here".

A brostep snare is just very very prominent, mainly loud as hell. If you want to avoid brostep snares just don't layer 5 snares and make it loud as fck.

Also, if you just want to make leet ass snares, just snag a crash cymbal, cut out like 1250hz through 6000hz? Idk exactly until I see one, but cut out a chunk of it so there's only some lower end (again cant tell just how much, use your ear) and high end left (use your ear), filter it, add reverb, and stick that shtt under your snare.

This will result in a leet ass reverb tail with a baby crash cymbal.

Dope advice dude! Will try this today...

Hell yea every snare can use a little crash cymbal on it to liven it up. You can always make it really subtle but its a dope effect that can be easily had, instantly improving any snare IMO

a bro snare just sounds like a heavily compressed 909 snare with some nasty noisey thing layered on top with the 200 hz region boosted and the mids scooped.

As the thread is dead already... I feel this raises a very important point

At what point dose blue become green? How maeny grains of sand do you need before it's a pile of sand? How mean drops of water make a puddle? Is an evil act still evil if its for the grater good? How can life create itself? How can a wave of possibilitys be a particle in one place?

A snare similar to a 909 snare, just a little cleaner and snappier. Honestly you can go far with just a 909 and some processing.

Try not too worry to much about if something has a negative reception, at the end of the day your tracks are your tracks and you should make them sound how you want them to, if a certain snare works for a track or you like a certain snare they go for it and use it.

Think about layering your snares using rim shot hits and finger snaps samples for a more old school sound.

True. I am not looking to them for acceptance to verify if my music sounds "good". If it sounds good to me I use it, it is not relative to what people here think. I want to stick closer to the roots of dubstep, that is all.

Awww ya man, staggering snap samps is cool. I love layering strange real world sounds like a car door closing and surprisingly water samps! lol,

Interesting... lol. Thanks.

aside from the lulleries of fellow bros, bottom line is a bro snare is just loud as fck. were talking boosting extreme in 220hz obv but they are typically layered with 500hz heavy samples just to own your spectrum

a good bro tip is just to side chain your master channel to the snare so that when snare comes, snare stays

see Big Boss by Doctor P
or anything by Funtcase

who's dissin' 909 snares

they're one of the best imo if you know how to layer properly

What happened in this thread? When I last left it, it was a post asking for the thread to be deleted and I was the only one to have posted in it. Maybe I was stoned last night
