Design perfect snare tone


Ultimate Snare Collection

SNARE MACHINE features a meticulously curated collection of 12 snares, chosen for their unique tonal characteristics and versatility. We experimented with different materials, tunings, and mic placements to capture the perfect punch, depth, and clarity blend for every facet of modern metal.

Mix-Ready Samples

Every sample is fully processed, mix-ready, and phase-coherent for easy layering. Whether you need fast, articulate blast beats or massive, crushing snare hits, SNARE MACHINE delivers a wide range of tones ready for any production.

Find Your Sweet Spot

The library includes 6 pre-installed slots for seamless blending of multiple snares: 3 for direct mics, 2 for room mics, and 1 for the reverb channel. This setup allows you to combine different snares, layer samples, and fine-tune the balance between tone, punch, and depth with precision.

Unparalleled Tone Shaping

Built-in effects like channel filtering, pitch, punch, and sustain, combined with 10 premium reverb types (plates, halls, and rooms) give you total control over your snare sound. Easily shape the tone, depth, and space to fit any mix with minimal effort.
