Snare feedback sound

Tips & Tricks

Here’s a great example of the snare at 3:04:

Another, the whole ending:

And 'pusher trying it on: https://youtu.be/8KX3Sb6-WIY?t=398

I’ve tried with tight delays, but getting the right amount to give it that that feedback loop sound is hard, and stretching doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

I think its just eq boosting the resonance part of the snare with some distortion. You can use the spectrum analyzer to find the right frequency. Its also important to have a “good” sounding snare sample.

Yeah, but’s pretty dynamic and changes at different points, as if it’s some kinda comb delay or aggressive stretch thing with a ringmod or something to make it change a bit. Does just sound exactly the same each time.

probably rendered it down to get the same sound over and over. also sounds a bit like some granular action going. Could granular time stretch and then pitch it up afterwards tomake it more snappy?

Lol, many ways to rome.

Try:

  • Snare sound (duh), long tail, if too short add gated reverb for it.

  • Band pass filter, sweep upward starting from the hit, maybe adsr style with high short attack then down and then slowly up through the (reverb) tail of the snare, of with a signal follower, whatever. Resonance can boost some extra, but is not for the rrranging.

  • Compressor close to limiting mode, to even out the decay of the snare tail - flatten the volume envelope but let a loud snap through on snare attack.

  • Distortion, try hefty drive but mixed with dry signal

  • A comb filter, tuned to your liking frequency. Lots of feedback (very close to maximum!), you can also tie feedback to be max when sound is in the chain, but zero when silence to make the ringing tail stop on note off. Can also use a delay, chorus, whatever short delay like fx, but need close to 100% feedback.

  • and then a ringmod, tuned to the very same, or half or double freqency of the comb. slight detuning in relation to the comb is interesting, too. This is optional, but makes the sound cleaner/more defined to the ringing.

  • maybe another distortion

  • Experiment a lot with the base snare sound and all the settings to get the sound you like to.

This closer to what you like?
