Not sure if you meant high-pass filter.Jovan wrote:Just use low pass filter, i always "clean" my snares, i cut everything up to almost 300hz, and it sounds good in the mix most of the times sometimes i go even higher.
If you're going to have the snare sample on top of a kick drum (because, for example, you have a 4-4 kick pattern happening), then you can simply turn the high-pass all the way up on the snare (even to the point that it pretty well disappears) and then beginning lowering the cut-off freq. until the snare sounds good along with the kick.
If you then mute the kick, you might even be surprised how thin the snare sounds, but if it sounded good on top of your kick you're in business. All the better that you don't have any unnecessary low frequencies in the snare conflicting with the kick.
If you'll have passages where the snare will play on it's own without being on top of the kick, then you can solo the snare and continue to lower the cut-off until you have a snare that sounds good on it's own, but perhaps with the low-low frequencies still filtered out. You can make this your 2nd snare sample.
