Not that I have the crackliest snares ever, but I'm learning.

Most likely the samples that we all use are already compressed.

We all? Wow man, how much time does it take you to scope everyone's style? :roll:

Personally, I work from scratch, a lot of live drums, sampled, mixed with samples, Especially white noise. I love white noise. Then I use a compressor to sort of glue things together, make them sound more like it's just one sound happening. But, to each their own Lamp.

So you get bent outta shape huh? It's like that now?!?!

My icon was neutral. I didn't come at you sarcastically.
Rollin your eyes, lmao @ u.

Starting from scratch, hurray, but you didn't say that at the beginning and the op would have never know that
neither did I.

Honestly, is that the best you can come up with? Me going through everyones samples? I said most likely, as to not imply everyone like you implied I did.

Ur right to each their own.
Ur wrong, give a fk less about everyones style. :lol:

So if I take a snare off a break from some record from the 60s, that's compressed already?

Yeah, anything you're taking from a piece of music from a record / tape / CD, anything that's already been fully produced, likely has gone through some processing already. Doesn't mean you can't process it further, but you should keep it in mind.
