Snare Layering tutorial (video)

[Rupert Brown]

Hey guys,
Just finished a tutorial on snare layering that I wanted to share with you all (might be old hat to some):

Still trying to improve the show so let me know if you have any feedback.

Thanks!

Cheers mate will check it out when I get home. Definitely something i'd like to learn about.
Don't suppose you've made / can make a similar tutorial for layering kicks?!

[Rupert Brown]

You need to be very careful when layering kicks as the lower your fundamental frequency the more chance you have of running into phasing issues. For this I would recommend sticking to two only two layers for your kicks and eq'n them aggressively to ensure the bass layer has its own space (mine normal sit around 100hz).

Hope that helps

thats great, would like to know what`s done exactly with the limiter. I remember some phasing issue with my layerd snares and should seperate them more.

Thanks, after alot of questions about kick layering and phase I am going to cover just that in next weeks episode so stay tuned...
As for a limiter, I didn't use one. I used a clipper its a bit different (might cover this in the future too), hopefully phase will be a bit clearer after the next episode.
