Making a reverb out of noise?

Is it possible to tweak plain ''empty'' noise out of vinyl to work as a reverb for snare?
I want that spacy reverb sound and it just can't be done with the MPC's own reverb effect.

Gotta slice it thin like swiss cheese at a deli. The more thin the slice, the more effective is the reverb. Slice about 4 samples of noise to 4 pads and give it a whirl.

Damn these rugs here smell like piss. Freaking cats.

Anyway, slice thin. Thats how timestretch works too...hint hint.

Hmm..

There's very little information about this, at least I can't find any.
Have you used this method before and were the results nice?
I guess I have to figure this out myself.

For me either I made the chops and it took minimal tweaking, or it was a mess that never sounded put together. But yeah sort of what Illgreen said your basically manually timestretching your own custom reverb tail. I think eventually I just made my own 100% wet reverb tails. I'm a big fan of large tails cut off mid their decay, hella 80s. Phil Colin's eat your heart out.

Or the other option would be I would just buy a reverb rack unit.
Roland SRV-2000 looks nice, decent price too.

I really don't want to say this because I don't want to sound like a biter, but I reeaaaaaallly like the reverbs Pete Rock has on Surviving Elements, so airy and grainy and warm....

Yeah I'm not on the old echo tip, but I'm definitely with you on the old warm ass reverb units.

I think it's possible, but you need to sample a snare with a long reverb,look for 80's funk or soul songs maybe. What i do is finding a snare like that, cut the attack so i'm only left with the reverb tail and layer it with another snare. But i still prefer using reverb plugins for this, you have more control and it sounds better for me.
(My favorite use of reverb on snares is from The infamous, almost every snare on that album have reverb and they sound real good!)

Oh you mean you sample Havoc's drums?

And I agree the reverbs on The Infamous are nice as hell

My bad, I didn't read your sentence correctly

i remembr sampling a record that had sum chick walking down a huge empty hallway with high heels, i layerd it over the drums and it sounded like they had reverb on em.

pretend u don't have a reverb effect but u relly want reverb

What?

If you use daw along with your mpc, then sample the air and use it as an impulse in convolution reverbs.. Piece of cake, and you don't need to sit and try to reconstruct hits with cut off tails in order to fill the gaps + you now have a reverb flavour you can apply to anything.. To change the tone of your entire drum kit for example... And with the use of your imagination you don't have to stop at sampled air.. Very useful tool for mixing as well as for creative work.

Is it possible, maybe. My suggestion would be going to a room that has a lot reflections , play that "empty" noise through a pair of monitors and record it with a Mic.
