Dub Delayed snareDrum - how to?

Hey folks.

I’m fiddling around with a dub track (my first :smiley:) and I would like to make my snare a little more like the one at 0:31-0:32 in this video

My track sounds like this now - I’m waiting to hear from my vocalist.
I would REALLY love a comment from you guys :stuck_out_tongue:

Ps. I’m producing it in Maschine only - working on integration with Ableton :sunglasses:

Thank you in advance, and big up for de massive dub!

hey

with real drums you wont get that sound from a normal snare drum, they have tuned the heads VERY tight to get that pingy cutting through sound but on a normal kit snare this’ll make it pretty high pitched.

Its a more specialised percussion drum like the type used in regge or maybe samba or other percussion based music which is physically taller/deeper, so that when the skin is tuned tight it still has a relatively low tone. Something like a Repiniqe maybe.

Best bet would probably be to try and find either a samba or regge sample collection or a normal drum that has a very tight tuned snare sample which is mostly tone with little actual snare sound, then pitch it down a shade and add some reverb and maybe a bit of delay.

Thanks hombre, will try it out after a visit to my bed :slight_smile:

Got any comments for the track?

You need a timbales sample, I think…

yep, timbales would also work same kind of idea, metal shelled drum tunned quite high only obviously they only have a top head on them.

Found a Timbale sample I think will do the trick, now to fiddle with some reverb and delay :slight_smile:

Thanks a million guys!

You need to check out a couple of VSts, my man:

TAL-DUB (Excellent, and FREE!)
TAL-DUB II (as above)

Dub Station by Audio Damage. (Not free - but uber-awesome!)

I implement them in Ableton per say?

I’m not sure how to mix my song (which is only in Maschine now) into Ableton and then use the TAL together with the song?

I would really like to move my bassline and dub-bass (both from Maschine) into Ableton to sidechain compress then, since they’re competing for the sound as it is now - but how to do it am I not quite sure about (yet).
