Ever have a monitor too close or even when it isn't, buzz the crap out of your snare? Some say to loosen the two lugs on each side of the snares, but are there better tips out there? And I know, in-ears are the way to go, but how about any other tips?
the higher quality snare systems don't buzz as much....unfortunatly i can't afford a high quality snare so i just made the snares a little tighter by duck tapeing the first inch or so of the snare strings...that helps my snare alot...and it sounds better over all because you only hear the strings then and you don't hear the metal part that holds the strings together...if that makes any sense...
That's known a "sympathetic vibration". The sound waves from the monitor cause the bottom head to vibrate at the same rate as the monitor speaker. It's pretty much "the nature of the beast". Mutt Lang will make sure it doesn't end up on your CD !
when u say duct taping the first inch, u mean like taping the snares to the head, or just wrapping tape around the snares in that first inch.Quote:

well in my case, my snare buzzes the crap out of my monitor (when i hit it of course)Quote:
