Heres a good General CLA Snare sound

[bkkornaker]

I was messing around with some more snare blending, and came across a nice blend of 3 snares and it came out very "upfront and poppy", similar to a Chris Lord Alge style snare (a cross between Greendays 'American Idiot' and My Chemical Romance 'Danger Days'). Thought i would share with you all.....

Listen Here

Heres a screen shot of the 3 snares....

Wow, sounds awesome. I love your mix. Mind telling me how you got it? Gears used? Guitar recordings? Bass? ect. Thanks...sounds very professional.

The drums are all SSD using midi loops.

The guitars is my Carvin Legacy half stack, with one SM57 1" away from the grill, placed right where the dustcap and cone meet. 2 guitar tracks panned hard left/right. Used a LA3A compressor (lightly) on them and a slight boost of 6k hi-shelf.

The bass was recorded DI, using a 1176 compressor (slamming/compressing the signal hard) and a shelf EQ boost of 60hz and a peak boost of 2k.

Also used Slate VCC (4k model) on all tracks and master buss.

The master buss had an SSL 4000 style compressor (only about 1 db gain reduction).

MASTER-----

Also used a new plugin from BOOSTY called BAXEQ, which is a baxandall EQ....and used that to gloss up the highs (7k boost) on the overall song. Also used Slate FG-X to bring up over all volume.

This section of the forum isnt a "critique my music", .....its about the DRUMS and how to get them to sound a certain way. The performance on this clip was not meant to showcase the guitars or bass.....its was meant for the DRUMS. If you feel like bashing peoples music/performance, please go to the "User mp3's" section and have at it over there.

If you feel as if you can post something "of substance", feel free to do so in the "User Mp3's" area and we all can return the favor of critiquing your music
