What snare sounds does anyone use for rock songs? I use the one with the Studio 1 setting, but it sounds kinda dull...

Although..... if it is dead sounding you could try adding a little reverb to it to warm it up and add some air. If dull, add some snap to it using an EQ.
Once again, some really good reads under recording tips that would point you in the right direction for which Freq's to tweak and what not.

Oct 27, 2006 12:33 am I use a different kit on nearly every song sometimes with the snare the kit defaults too, other times I change the snare to whatever I feel fits the song best. My current favorite kit is the Natural w/ Piccolo 3 Brass snare tuned down to -10. It's the one I'm using in my latest song. As CptTripps says though you do need to tweak it either with reverb/delay and/or EQ. I usually record with the drum kit fairly dry to begin with so I can easily change the tone and ambience.
