Man, your videos have helped our band so much. Huge appreciation to you! It would be awesome if you could do a video like this for Kick Drum. Again, thanks my guy!
Having a good snare sound to begin with, like in this case, definitely helps. In my opinion the snare sounded good even without any compression. EQ alone sometimes goes a long way. But I do enjoy how you embellished it even more with those pluggings.
I don’t have rbass. I make a copy of the main snare. High pass then boost whatever low mids I’m trying to get maybe 200ish. Some saturation of distortion and boom thick snare.
hey I'm new to your content and I came here looking for how to make my snare don't sound like sh*t but I noticed you are using a tablet and a stylus alongside your mouse. Do you have any videos showing why this is and how does it improves your workflow? I'm a full time producer and I happen to have one as well. Thanks for such an awesome video btw :)
Thank you! This Video was perfect revision! I had a lot of issues trying to perfect a solid punch for a snare I have in some death metal production. Loved this vid.
The thing I take away from these videos, and is waaaaaaayyyy more important to me than the technique is HOW you listen to things! That's valuable! Thanks Mendel! Oh, and question, when you like find that "sonar thing" in the mids, you Q up and drag up to that specific frequency and then manually pull it down. Why not use the parameter knob and keep the frequency exact? Or do you use the CTRL key?
Yes, that's it. To see and of course to hear is the real thing about it. Usually i did it the way like Mendel did, 10 years ago :D try and error but this is most of the time shit :D this channel helps a lot more than browsing meaninglessly through frequencies!
Very helpful, thanks! One question; Are you adjusting any pitch in either the snare or the sample? I've seen some people literally 'tuning' their snares to match the key of the song. Since I'm not a drummer I don't have any idea about tuning snares or toms. Do you think stuff like that matters in a digital setup and for metal with let's say Superior Drummer? Cheers.
Man, it's cool and stuff but not in to-depths. I see that you're using Slate Trigger 2 to reinforce your midi snare with some "raw/real" sample, but you never said what drum library you're using for basic drum sound. Why? :)
Because it doesn't really matter what library you use regarding the subject of the video, but I use Metal Machinery SDX and will make some presets soon :)!
doesn't look like your converting your drum midi to audio files - just routing the audio to separate tracks is not the way to do it - convert the entire drum track from midi to audio files then start your mixing - most drum software has that feature
as someone who is only just beginning to figure out how to properly mix drum tracks, I am genuinely interested to know what exactly converting midi tracks to audio tracks accomplishes so I can hopefully make better mixes in the future
that song was siiiick. Best Mixes
Mendel is the f***ing man!!

20db boost, no fucks given 😂if it sounds good, it sounds good though!
I was just using RBass for a snare bus yesterday! Great content as always Mendel, thanks for sharing the great tips!!

Goud Mendel! Ga ik zeker uitproberen dit🤟🏻

Riff amazing, and mix too
Always quality content you should have much more subs.
You helped me a lot with my song production
That track is so good!
sounds dope as hell! simple yet effective homie!

best 🙏
great stuff my friend ..... would love to know how you're seamlessly blending in those rolls and fills ...killer stuff
THE BEST!

That would work better indeed, I just forget it everytime. I still do ctrl + t to change bpm vs just typing it in lower right.
@@Mendelian well, there are so many roads that lead to Rome in Cubase! Love it!

Awesome video man. Any update on timeline for Superior presets?
Great content. What is your approach to choose Samples (direct and room) to a given snare. I get lost so often on this task 😭
What snare sample is being used? Great sample.
Love your videos! Btw: what camera and lens are you using?
Bro May I know what type of writing tool do you use?..verry important and makes you fast scrolling than mouse will you help me what is that?

C is for Cookie! Num num num num num! 🍪
Great example, thank you. Which plugin did u use in the insert of the "snare room sample? Sounds great. Do u always use the room sample?
Past years it’s mainly room samples on the snare and reverb on Toms. Can’t tell yet what room sample it is :)!
How did you record a live snare with no bleed?
I’m 99.999999% sure the original snare is a sample also
Rbass on snare? Gotta try it. I have a question tho, how do you cope with live snare that kind of music?
Triggers. 😊
Hi Mendel could ypu please release an sdx or tell us what the drum samples are. Thanks
Coming next month :)!
@@Mendelian yay!
Maan, what ia this sample?
You’re talking me the snare mic sounds like that without a gate?
How is there no cymbal bleed?
Programmed drums ❤️
Mix sounds great, but what band is this???
Futility
I came to ask the same question, thanks manuelskizodisg!
It's us!! EP entitled "All The Same" is available on most streaming services!!
Pero eso en la vida real con un baterista que tocó en una batería acústica al meter esos agudos se te levantan los platos y te tapan los overhead!
First!

@@JBshredsit only reduces the load on your cpu.
It doesn't do anything technically for your mix. The theory is 2 fold, 1. You're committing to a sound.
2. Significantly reduce CPU/memory load
