Your Favorite SNARES combined sound?

[Mark Farrell]

I love snares. Soooo many different options from crack to thud etc etc. So, what snares do you combine to get the best of all the tones? Might be nice to start sharing our settings?
Im no pro when it comes to phasing issues etc, these will just be examples that worked for me in mixes. They wont be for everyones taste, so please leave DRY example with link so people can hear the results. I’ve used dropbox.

List the libraries required, snares used, pitch and volume blend settings. I’ll start.

forgot to mention to include any S2.0 processing effects (if any) i prefer to use plugins in pro tools personally, but if you use inbuilt sonalksis effects, please include details. For audio samples please bypass any plugins/effects in your DAW that are not accessible to the everyday user using S2.0.

Cool, lets here some………..
