Hi people, I hope you’re fine. I am writing here with one concern: I cannot achieve a kind of snare sound widely used on mainstream music for pop/electro style…
I am a musician from Argentina who started producing and mixing six years ago, and sometimes I am asked these kind of style… but NEVER succeeded in getting this punchy exciting and modern sound, which I can only describe as PPFF sound…( the forum doesn't let me to add a link, but, for an example, check the choruses on CAPITAL CITIES- VOWELS please )
I ‘ve tried blending a real drum with drum machine’s different samples ( 808, 909, Oberheim DMX, etc ), tried adding white noise, claps, distortion, etc.. and although I delivered the job ( the song ), I know I’ didn’t nailed the sound AT ALL.
I would appreciate a lot some kind of advice!
Best,
Vitulano.
