Synthesize SNARES that sound REAL using the power of FEEDBACK

I discuss a new method of drum sample synthesis, which uses feedback synthesis to model the resonance of the drum head. I’m not sure if another tutorial like this exists, but these are some of the most realistic sounding snare drums I’ve ever synthesized (or heard synthesized, in fact). And the bulk of the sound is catalyzed from a single transient lasting only a few milliseconds. There is probably an easier way of doing this in another DAW (like Ableton). Feel free to take the principles shown and improve on them. This is my first tutorial video like this. It was recorded over multiple days in multiple sessions. It may be a bit scatterbrained, so I apologize. If you have questions, feel free to ask in the comments. --- EDIT 07/16/24: . This video is blew up out of nowhere. Thank you all for watching and commenting! I’ll answer a couple FAQs here: Q: So, this is basically modeling synthesis? A: Yes. Although I discovered this method of drum desi
