How to get the sound of those snares?

[diijay]

Hi guys, I was wondering if you know how to get a similar snare sound of the examples below.

The first 2, Sounds like an acoustic snare but how is it processed to get that sound?

Zippyshare.com - SNARE.mp3

#2:
YouTube - ‪Gui Boratto "Beautiful Life" Video Clip‬‏



#3:
YouTube - ‪La Roux - In for the kill - Lifelike Remix‬‏

I know some of them have noise but I would like the specifics on how to get that sound. Just noise, filtering and some env do not achieve the sound of those snares.

On the first example, what kind of acoustic drums is that, which libraries I can find similar sound?

Thanks.

1. gated reverb on the snare. very eighties

2. simmons style syndum snare. envelope/lpf/noise . very very eighties

love them both!

80's drum samples work good!

Purchase this library it's amazing for the price - 80′s Drum Beats »

You can easily make snare's punchy like this with Nerve's internal sidechain compressor and offset settinggs.

In Nerve is really really easy to get punchy percussive sounds because of that compressor.

So here is the drill the hard way if you don't value your time (that's why I bought Nerve it does all the things that took me minutes in seconds.. no joke)

Have a channel with your kick. Double it to use it as a sidechain trigger.

Put the compressor on the snare and have it triggered by the kick. Then use a very steep threshold. Then manually and easily offset the snare so it comes right before the kick (usually a couple of ms sometimes 15-16) thus the snare being squashed but the very initial transients giving it a really dynamic but squashed feel as the compressor enters after the initial punch.

I used the mentioned technique on this snare (from 3:00 on)
