New cheap snare samples. Free example.

[ulverine]

I've been on this site for a few years now, reading and learning, but hardly ever posting. I dug up a tracking session I did about a year ago from one of my friend's grind bands, and decided to make some samples out of the snare. Recording chain is noted below. Blended the top/bottom/OH.

It's entitled GB Snare A (my initials). Figured I'd give back to the Sneapster community, with you guys being the first to hear and try.

I'm offering this snare sample pack for a very affordable price at $2. Might do some more snares in the future, depending on how well you guys dig it.

I set up a bigcartel here (all samples + TCI): GAB Recordings.

Freebie (hardest sample hit): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1261919/GB%2...A%20-%2022.wav. Here's an alternate link http://www.mediafire.com/?ze5kpp5kdkkf75h. Test it out

Also quickly constructed programmed midi examples.
Clips (drums only):

EDIT: Here's a Rock example, much slower and a little more dynamic in the snare programming: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1261919/GB%2...202%20ROCK.mp3

Tried to emphasize the snare through different patterns and snare fills. For the most part, I've been using it out on quicker fast-paced material (grind, black metal, fast hardcore punk stuff etc.), but I believe this'll be a fitting snare for most purposes. Great, if you're looking for more of a ringy/cracky snare. At the very least, I believe this one will be great for blending!

Everything else in this clip is not my own. Toms/Cymbals are Superior Metal Foundry. Kick is a blend between Kick 17 from Slate and Big Rock Kick from a fellow Sneapster. The only processing on the snare in this clip is about 3 dB of compression, nothing else.

The whole pack is 22 files, being numbered 1-22. They aren't labeled with soft/medium/hard, so the 22 is the hardest and 1 is the softest! I'm including a .TCI file with the 22 hits as well. Sorry, I don't have Drumagog guys but you can make gogs with the wavs. Also included is a Read Me text file with the following information:

RECORDING CHAIN:

Drum: Orange County 6x14 Black Burst Maple Snare

Top: Heil PR 30B
Bottom: Shure SM57
OH: Little Blondie Stereo Pair

All signals are recorded at 24 bits / 44.1 khz in .WAV format.
Top, Bottom, and Oh are blended together in all samples.

Top and Bottom sent through a Neve Portico 5012 Dual Mic Pre.
OH mics sent straight to my interface's pres; Saffire Pro 40.

You may not sell or share these samples separately or together as your own.
You may use these samples within any music/audio/video production.

Enjoy!!

Any feedback or interest?

I went ahead and got a bigcartel set up now. Much easier than PMing me.

Wish I had a picture of the snare during the session. I was thinking about uploading a stock photo of the snare from google images, but I don't know if that's legal. So..sorry if the page looks blank! Just needed a vehicle to sell the product.

[ulverine]

bump!

[weimark]

it sounds good.
if nobody bought it give it for free. instant interest

Theres something about "cheap snare" and "cost" "buy" that don't go together. Makes me NOT want to buy it. Snare sounds good perhaps for a mellow type rock genre, but i like my snares with less bottom and more snap.

[ulverine]

Thanks, guys. So far 3 people have bought it. I've reworded some of my phrasing in my original post.

Marketing skills need improvement.

Bought it I can make it work
