Synthesize SNARES that sound REAL using the power of FEEDBACK

Dope tutorial man

Your technical research are amazing! ❤ Your are a superb science teacher.

This is amazing

how tf do you do this on Reaper, is it possible??

This is nuts

Wow this was a really great video! Any idea on how to create a positive feedback loop in Ableton?

Nice video !!

Is it possible to self route feedback in ableton like this?

Coming back for a refresher on your alchemy technique

really impressive

Now a tutorial to make it sound like a drum machine snare because who uses acoustic snare sounds in 2024?😅

this is amazing. i subscribed. wow

I subd because of the water bottle on sand / snare gif

Excellent tutorial. Great work!

Why not use frequency matching EQ to match the frequencies of a real snare sample and put that on top as a last step? There are a lot of guitar plugins that have a tone matching feature where you analyse your guitar sound and compare it to a reference guitar sound and make the EQ do some convolution stuff to match the frequencies. Makes distorted guitars sound exactly like a reference album.

👍

Bell hit, I want you to pour your wisdom on us all, please

Gunna try this for kicks 😊

Congratulations for getting through making this tutorial without once saying "physical modeling"? 😄
And no, I'm not complaining that he didn't make anything new. Making a snare with a physical modeling synth made for snares is easy. Making it with tools that were never intended to be used for physical modeling means you actually have to understand what you're doing.

Step 1: Buy a drumset ....

what is wrong with TR snare drums?

Those sounds.. hearing it all together feels like a sick drop in the middle of a banger.

Don't think I've ever heard synthesised drums sound so real.

Amazing

I'm watching this for the 20th time or so. Pausing, zooming in, rewinding. Condensed and to the point. Finally, a truly inspiring drum synthesis tutorial! Thank you!

isnt this karplus strong pretty much? Sounds like it

Karplus strong and comb filtering have been around for some time, and yield similar results, but you're doing it manually.
Good tutorial.

Dope technique! Thanks for sharing. Gonna go make snarezzzz 🤘

I LOVE YOU FOR SHARING THIS

THEY CRACKED THE CODE !!

Great tutorial. Goes deep enough into the understanding whilst keeping it simple to follow the logic. 👌🏼

Is this any different than using a delay plugin with a very short delay time and high feedback? (Without usung the track feedback trick). I tried this on a digitakt and the results when EQing it is quite different than this video, the phase shift effect isn't apparent at all. Also ehat about using a vomb filter and eqing that? Would that yield the same effect?

fantastic video.

Wow, what a great approach! Thanks for sharing...

In case there are any Live users reading this, here is how I did it:

Used Analog, with pulse and noise in separate signal paths, each one to its own filter and amp.
Created a return track with Echo. I know Zion said to use something simpler, but more on that later.
On the return track you need to enable sends for it to work... don't forget the limiter before feeding it back

----
It is really a simple thing to do, like any good idea. I choose these tools because I'm very familiar with then, but any would do.

Now, about choosing a more complex delay. At least with Echo, you will have so many possibilities to sculpt your sound, like driving the input and activating that fun little D, using the filter, modulating the pitch very slightly to create variations. I even used the reverb, just on the feedback, and it created a great sense of size for the snare.

Just one more thing... I would like to congratulate you for the attitude of bringing something different to your viewers. It is really frustrating when you are browsing for ideas about a topic and can only find 100 people doing the same thing you were not interested into to begin with.. .so, yeah! Thanks again... keep bringing it!

I find this very genius

What an incredible tutorial!

this is insane it actually sounds real wtf

This is is something new to me.Thanx dude!

Wow. Kept the best part for the end. Those ghost notes sound incredible.

for whatever reason I just can't replicate it

wtf mate

This is amazing, thank you. This is a step forward in drum synthesis and design.

Holy shit this vid is NUTS. NICE!!

Cool.

I UPDATED THE DESCRIPTION with FAQ and DL for the EXAMPLE SNARE SAMPLES... luckily, I still had that project file from months ago lol
