The Ultimate Construction Kit
The ultimate snare building kit has arrived. Created by award-winning artist Davide Carbone, DC Snares is designed to simplify your workflow and profoundly impact your production. Whether you're exploring hundreds of custom-made onboard sounds, experimenting with a dedicated synth engine and built-in randomizer, or layering your own samples, this efficient plugin makes creating powerful snares easier and more intuitive than ever.
And when you want to be able to shape and break your snare, DC Snares has you covered. Experience powerful pitch and amp envelopes with a real-time responsive waveform display, a bespoke snare-oriented rearrangeable effects chain including modules like 'Sizzler', 'Transient Shaper', and 'Resonator', and a 4-slot sample layering system offering endless possibilities. Run your snare using an internal sequencer engine designed to make playing and programming snare rolls intuitive and fun. Perform pitchable triplet rolls or straight divisions. Or simply play the snare chromatically.
DC Snares are convenient for creating kicks, basses, hi-hats, rims, and claps, providing all the percussive power you need for your next track.
What can DC Snares be used for?
Beat Creation: Create unique beats and percussive sounds that fit any genre, from hip-hop, trap, and D&B to EDM, rock, and pop.
Sound Design and Audio Production: Artists and sound designers can create custom percussive sounds, effects, and textures for use in film scores, video games, commercials, and podcasts.
Layering and Enhancement: Enhance your drum tracks by creating unique percussive elements, adding complexity and depth to your music.
Live Performance: Musicians can integrate DC Snares into their live setups, triggering and manipulating percussive sounds in real time during performances.
Create your own unique samples. Seamlessly generate a library of your own created samples to use in future projects or add to your personal bank of original sounds.
DC's snare creation method is easy.
Drum and bass producers are familiar with David Carbone's innovative drum and bass masterclass pack. Quickly recall sounds, emphasize snare rattles and wires, combine live and electronic sources, and add massive reverb with gates. Now, these methods and tools used by DC are integrated into a sophisticated workflow and dedicated plugin, allowing you to freely create unique snares for any genre.
More than just a randomizer.
Algorithmically a human randomizer, it automatically generates names based on content. Create bespoke snares, hit songs, and soundscapes in an infinite number of permutations in an instant.
Four Customizable Sound Slots
Four customizable sound slots allow you to select from 684 internal samples, drag and drop your own samples, load synth engines, or automatically input randomizers to layer sounds. Each sound slot has an adjustable amp and pitch envelope, allowing producers to further customize their sounds.
Quickly reshape your sounds by changing the pitch and adjusting the audio envelope, with real-time updates to the waveforms of each sound slot and the overall sound. Adding or adjusting internal FX updates the waveform display in real time, giving you complete visual control over your snare experimentation.
12 Dedicated Insert and Master FX Slots
Custom-made FX are a big part of what makes DC Snares unique, replicating the typical FX chain that Davide Carbone used in the design process. "Sizzler" is the world's first product to recreate the room's reaction to the rattle of a snare drum, while "Resonator" and "Transient Shaper" are specifically designed for snare drum production. All of these effects can be easily rearranged for maximum effect.
Playable Performance Engine
DC Snares function as a live instrument. Use a MIDI controller or the built-in keyboard to raise or lower the snare's pitch, and create powerful rolls using note division.
Assignable Modulation Envelope
Four mappable envelopes and hundreds of parameters provide complete flexibility and endless possibilities for sound design.
