Snapback

View images

Snapback detects drum transients and layers samples in time, including before the main hit.

What does it do?

Cableguys and BT designed Snapback around the small layers that change a drum’s attack and feel. Automatic hit detection handles alignment, while pre-transient material can introduce a short lead-in to the hit. Evaluate the result in a groove rather than judging only the size of a single isolated drum.

The key features

• Automatic drum-hit detection
• Sample layering around transients
• Pre-transient snapback layers

Who is it worth considering for?

Beatmakers refining drum impact and groove.
