I would say a lot of graindelay and perhaps some timestretch artefacts.

Greetings

Sounds like a very short delay or a chorus with some feedback? Maybe try playing with the Chorus in a Send and tweak the feedback knob...

Really short delay (around 1-40 ms) that is made more wet during those rappid beat studders.

One way to achieve this effect (at least this is how i do it) is to make multiple copies of the snare note. The spacing is 1/32-1/64 depending how you want the effect to sound. HTH

The two main things I hear are the 64th note snare rolls (or whatever quantization is being used....very fast) and occasional bursts of flanger, or any other short-delay based effect. Of course, that flanger sound could be a compression artifact...

One thing about those snare rolls...they sound a lot better if you tweak the volume and/or filter of the roll to give it some progression.

Ok Im confused now......

So I make an amen beat for instance using say battery and ableton then u say i make snare rolls by putting 1/64notes in after the main snare hit then I use the simple delay set to a fast delay to make it sound different ...... I have tried all day and it is just not working ?? If someone can explain what i need to do in terms assuming I am stupid at this stuff that would be cool,...........

Thx in advance

Ok Im confused now......

Open a midi clip from your MIDI track loaded with battery. Now widen the length view of the clip so you can space it out anywhere between, let's just use 1/16-1/32 quantization. Now use the pencil tool and add in snare hits one right after another as many times as you need. Play the clip and you should hear that effect. If it's not quite spot on, experiment with the spacing until you get what you are looking for.
The closer the spacing, the more of a solid flanger effect you will get.

I started using this effect way back when I heard Keith LeBlanc do it. He used to just use a really short loop of the begining of a snare ... and trigger it off a nice hexagonal pad.
well, it was the 80's.

brrrrrrrtt "Tackhead in the area" - etc. happy days.

these days we can modulate the start position a lot easier than he could on his Akai 900, and that will help you out

just program a load of snare hits at 1/128 and set impulse on gate and 0 release. brrrrrrrrr

modulate the sample start and pitch envelopes if you want to get the mutate-y sound.
