I love that you explain the concept of why you want the lfo shorter or longer etc rather than just saying : "now u want to put LFO 2 on 35 depth" like most other tutorials on YT, brilliant tutorial !
I like that you say that, because that is actually something I personally don't like about many tutorials either. I don't want to know what exact values somebody is using, I want to know the thought process behind it, why is it shorter or longer and so on. That to me is a lot more valuable than saying "set knob A to value X". Thanks!
@@artfxdnb yes definitely, totally agree! this type of problem seems to have plagued the youtube tutorials a lot over the years, not sure why but I think it's because people making those tutorials don't actually know why they are doing what they are doing when "sound designing" they merely have memorized a "recipe" for a sound from a different tutorial or accidentally messed up a recipe and realized "oh if i turn this knob to 70 rather than 30(like the original video) then it sounds like a trap snare rather than a dubstep snare or whatever, then just upload a video "how to make a trap snare" with the new values and so on😆
Bro, I love the sound consistency going from E3 to B1 for example. I would spend over 4 hours, or days, just tuning an actual acoustic skin to get that level of tonal consistency and control. No 2 skins are alike, no two tunings are alike. This one video pieced together literal YEARS of tuning difficulties and challenges as I transition from analog to digital. That's what I get for being old. Sorry for the spam man, this one video lit my brain on fire and may have actually put 5 years of puzzle pieces together, for me. Something clicked here for me and I have you to thank for it. tysm!!!
I got into music production (well, actually learning things and not just using samples.) last year…THIS IS BY FAR THE DEEPEST SNARE SYNTHESIS VID ON TH-cam! Ty for helping us not only create but UNDERSTAND. 🧠 🙏
I'm a drummer, have been for over 30 years. That is one tight sounding snare. Typically, I'd pull out a tuning key and just tighten the snare, or switch to a secondary pretuned snare, or just pull a lever to adjust; for that really tight sounding skin. You fkn' nailed it dude, Nice job! I think of skins in terms of diameter; 6in, 8in all the way up to 16 inch. A typical snare is 8 or 10 inches. For DnB, throwing in a 6in, just makes sence for color and expression, and now I think I know what I need to listen for when I'm fiddling around in a DAW or waveform creator. My brain doesn't work in KhZ, but maybe with that bend in thought, relating snare size to fequency, I might be able to intuitively figure it out, one day. Wrapping my head around Serum and PhasePlant has been a monumental challenge for me but just watching you explain as you go, makes a HUGE difference! Thanks so much!
My brain is automatically playing the rhythm. Is it possible to get a follow-up with the bass drum and maybe even the HH with the same principles? I found this incredibly helpful for training my ear. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for me to fundamentally translate this over to those areas, but I find your explanations and visuals help with visualizing what I need to do. It's one thing to train my ear, quite another to train my brain, conceptually. I love this. I'm saving it in my playlists. So incredibly useful!
26:15 I wonder if the resonances you'd get using a vowel or "cube" filter world work well for this? (IDK if the filters from late E-mu samplers are called cube filters but that's what I have in mind. Dave Rossum of E-mu is now selling one in a eurorack module called Morpheus, for reference. There's akai a free one in VCV Rack caked cube of confusion iirc.)
This tutorial is a great technical approach to have full control. I prefer combining very clean samples with different attack/sustain/resonances, works faster and is more fun IMO, most of the time u get a more satisfying organic snare. Most drums made from scratch sound too noisy and sterile, they lack a ton of character and natural feel.. ;)
The point of this is first to understand, then to be original, and lastly - be able to create various snares, some with LAYERS by “combining clean samples with different adsr”.
Honestly I preferred the snare without or with wayyyy less resonance. It sounds so... bit thingy? Don't know how to name it. Just too resonant I guess.

A long awaited but much appreciated sequel.
"Now this might sound very basic to you, because it also is." Classic!

i have waited so long for this! gj mate.
Finally a good video on how to make current DnB snares!
This is the vid I've been waiting for! Thank you so much for making this!
rrreally in depth! I love the concept! Always used comb filters for that stuff, but this works sooo much better. Thanks a lot!
This tutorial was worth watching, I loved every second of this. Thank you. ARTFX for what you do!
I was literally digging through old snare synthesis videos an hour ago. Did a double take when I saw this uploaded. Big up homie!
Masterpiece

Never mind, I spoke too soon. You included a basic kick.
I made it to the end of the video, I'll just stfu and look forward to the notifications.
wow this leveled up my snare game so mutch. thanks a lot
Thank you so much. This helped me creating my first Snare that don´t is garbage.
This series is so good!
Hi man I dig your video's really informative and thorough. Keep it up your smashing it!
Cool
Insane tutorial
Excellent!
Just joined your patreon great video just what i needed

Hey, the link in the description leads to the same video, I think, not to the kick one. At least it says something about snares for me :)
Gret video and amazing results.
Question: What is the oscilloscope on the top right of your Ableton interface?
its image line wave candy
Nice!
Awesome
Really learnt a lot from this. When is the hats episode coming out?
I learned a lot!
Thanks!!
Nice video man 🙂
Nice mate 👍
Awesome😃👍

How do you get that waveform visualizer in the top right of your ableton 🧐 i need that in my life. great vid as always
@Psilocybe thnx m8 ❤️

What does the transients sometimes sound bigger than other times
Do you do Ableton/production lessons?
liiiike
Great Stuff! Just Joined Patreon... but I can't find the stereo Noises? Could anyone help?
They are part of one of the Patreon packs, should be pack from November 2021.
FKKKKKNNN TIIIIGGGHHTTTTTT
Ok great tips. But does anyone else NOT like the sound of that snare??? Way too much resonance in it.
why is this free lmao
