Snares vs Claps
View this Thread in Original format

What do you prefer to put on the 2's and the 4's?

Personally, I prefer snares. I find them to be more fuller, and have a more dirty sound than the claps.

Depends on what kind of track.

But in general I use more claps.
Subtle
Snare 90% of the time

Claps seems to work best at higher BPM.

Claps tend to sound better to me with effects, and snares tend to sound better to me with less effects. So Depending on the track i use them that way so its abot 50/50 leaning towards snares.

I record myself banging my fist on my desk and play that in place of a clap.

Depends on the song style. For trance, it's maybe 50/50, but only a portion of the songs I produce are trance, so I use a lot more snares, rimshots, etc. And, they aren't always on beats 2 and 4. :eyes:

lately i've been finding myself layering snares and claps together - after proper EQ'ing and level adjustments, the clap would be more dominant i guess, but the snare would give it an overall different dynamic in sound.

Claps for the top, and snares to fill out the bottom.

Layer and eq both.

I lean more towards snares.

Both. Track dependent.
