Make a sound more close and warm?

[idl]

Hey,

I've got some finger snap samples I'm trying to use, but they have a small amount of reverb which I want to get rid off. Any tips to make them sound closer to the ear and more "warm" (best word I can think of.. )?

Cheers

Gate, distortion and a saturiser

With vocals I've noticed that if you record a really dry close sound, it can sound really thin, but if you then add some nice impulse reverb on it (like Altiverb -> Recording studios -> some studio room with relatively close mics), you get a wider sound that instantly sounds actually both warmer and closer - even when it's actually with MORE reverb. The vocal still doesn't sound too wet, but it just sounds bigger.

snap at a different location and use better mics for the purpose..

better stick to my advice. shukibotchi is a man of real little knowledge..

.you cant realy fix such things in the mix when your recording is screwed to start with..
