Super tutorial para cajas (Inglish)

[Endocrino]

Este tutorial yo creo k es el mejor k existe, para hacer cajas potentes.
Esta obtenido de otro foro y esta en ingles. No tiene desperdicio.



alright I'm feeling generous today & I think this forum needs some pro advice again.

ok layering:

every different layer fills another frequency part

LO

first of, you want to start with the 'body' / 'low end'
this is the backbone of the snare that you can feel in your belly.

find a very solid snare for this that peeks around 150 / 200 hz

( EDIT: you can even use a TOM for this )

unless the snare is already 100 % perfect you wanna lowpass it around 300 hz cos you only need this for the low end.

you also have to TUNE it to the rest of the song.

really important, if the snare is not in tune, it sounds totaly out of place & false, just like any other instrument.


MID

then, you want to look for the layer that 'defines' the snare character. if you want a metal sounding snare, look for a 'tonal' or 'clangy' snare.
if you want a Neuro snare, look for a more woody sounding snare.
( just an example. )
you can also use claps & tr909 ish snares to fill this area.

remember, this is not for the punch, this is just for the main 'character' of the snare, & you only keep that small frequency area that has that attribute.

You want to remove all the low end from 300 / 500 hz to keep space for the body snare, but you also may want to remove some hi end.


HI

NOW, it's time for the big sizzling splash on top.

search for a snare that has that quality, or use a hihat or crash.

hipass this around 1000 hz so it wont interfere with the other layers.



these are the 3 MAIN layers.

if you're new to layering, your layering will be SHIT & often you'll be using ALOT more layers ( I know cos I learned the hard way ) but the better you become at picking out the right sounds, the less layers you'll use & you will stick to these 3 main layers.
so keep practicing & you will soon get a feeling for it!



Now, it's time to compress your snare to fuck so it won't clip.

attack should be as fast as posible & release around 50 ms

ratio around 1 : 2 / 1 : 4

not too extreme, cos you only want to shape the snare, not limit it

then play around with the treshold & in gain. & make sure the outgoing signal peaks exactly at 0 db & NOT ABOVE!!

once you got that done you can turn the attack to somewhere between 5 ms & 15 ms, just enough to let the 'click' thru.

that's right, you're clipping the snare rightnow, but it clips so short that you won't hear it.

trow a softclipper / very fast limiter on top of this so it won't clip in the master.



that's about it, ...wether you want Current Value snares, Limewax snares, Subfocus snares, it's all the same principle.

good luck. :twothumbs

Para los que no entiendan inglés, ultra resumido:

Hay que hacer una caja que cubra un espectro amplio de las frecuencias, y eso se hace "juntando" varios samples (pueden ser cajas o no...), que suenen en las diversas zonas (medios, agudos, y graves). Luego, lo típico, machacar y ecualizar bien la mezcla para que suene todo bien junto.

Yo añadiria, que a parte de ecualizar las diferentes capas, juguéis un poco con los ataques... (yo a menudo meto la capa de agudos con un ataque lento...).

Happy snaring!
