It doesn’t matter what style of music you are into, we all share some common ground. We all love a heavy, hard hitting snare. In this course Dan Larsson instructs us on how to synthesize a legit Dub snare using Ableton Operator.

Video 1 - Bottom

We will learn the buildup of a synthesized snare and how to make one on our own. We will follow up with the most fundamental part, the bass, or what Dan calls “the tummy or the bottom.”

Video 2 - Transient

A transient, or that “click”, can give your snare sound a real punch, and if you do it right your snare will always cut through the mix. In this video Dan demonstrates 2 ways of synthesizing some exciting transients.

Video 3 - Tail

Synthesizing a snare tail isn’t as easy as you may think. While it is a “white noise”, we need to add some metallic content to it. Abelton Operator is a perfect tool for creating the perfect snare tail.

Video 4 - Mix

When all 3 layers come together all we need to do is make some minor adjustments and then glue them together into 1 amazing sound. Also, resampling the snare can make a surprising improvement to your end result.

Sheldon Lawrence
The techniques used in this tutorial can be modified and used for many applications beyond making dubstep snares. I learned how to analyze waveforms a little better to see what different components must be created and mixed to result in that waveform. I also liked the technique of modifying a sound realtime while resampling it on another track until the resulting waveform has the qualities you are looking for. Obviously, your ears should be the primary source of feedback for what you are doing, but it is helpful to have visual feedback as well, especially since after working on a sound for awhile, your ears can start tricking you.
