Cableguys Snapback (new plugin)

[Mr No Name]

Actually very good. Would recommend.

For people who thought that you fatten (phatten) up your drums using eq or saturation, nah you been doing it wrong (same as me)

you do it like this apparently.

What is Snapback?

Cableguys and electronic music pioneer BT bring the art of drum layering into one fast, focused effect.

Just put Snapback on any drum track and it detects each hit, layering new samples on top in perfect time. Now you can add punch, style and flair that EQ, compression and distortion cannot.

Still missing that magic? Layer special snapback samples before the transient – a secret trick of pro producers for "living" grooves, available for the first time in an easy plugin.

I have everything from them but this one I don't get the hype.

Not a bad presentation, but that was an unfortunate choice of "drum" track to demonstrate the effect.

If your drums are entirely synthesized and/or sampled, and you don't like the "punch" or "vibe" or whatever, you either try different samples/patches or layer in something that will provide whatever's missing. That includes reversed samples, a nice effect that I use often - but as a dynamic accent. Automatically throwing in a reversed sample on every hit waters down the effect. 

I'd like to hear it with a real acoustic drum track. That's where it might be useful, since it's difficult to layer samples over human-performed drums. But even then, I'd prefer a drum substitution plugin that would let me draw upon my enormous collection of percussion samples.

I asked AI and it said you shouldn't be using real people anyway...

it works as a trigger, so when it detects a drum hit, it adds its bit, (with 27ms delay, which can be compensated for) so it should work with real drums as well as any other,( i.e, it doesn't work on time signatures) you can add your own one shots, but you have to reverse them yourself first, I think they are working on doing it automatically in an update, you can adjust the volume of the hit, and as a copy of the dynamics of the original drum hit, so to all intents and purposes would work better when you can't really hear it, a psychoacoustic subliminal trick if you will.

I believe other similar plugins are apulsoft aptrigga3 and klevgrand fosfet.  I think you could probably use it for guitars also.

you can also use it on whole drum loops and finished songs, which is the most interesting thing to me, once you dial it in, it's quite a versatile and interesting plugin.
