EQ on snare

[stupidfatnugly]

I noticed that my snare had no thud to it which I like a thud and a crack at the same time.

Is it OK if I do not cut any frequencies on the snare? will this interfere with other instruments or is it too short of a period of time with the snare?

Normally the snare is one of the louder instruments in the mix. It is too short (most of the time) to really conflict. Of course, you could just listen to what you have and see if it works.

The 'thud' tends to be around 200hz, the crack is around 2khz.

Find the "thud" in your snare and cut that frequency a bit on guitars or other elements in that range.

disregard all "rules." it's "OK" to boost or cut whatever you need to in order to get the sound you're shooting for. trust your ears. unless your ears suck. in which case no one can help you.

here's a link that i find useful:

+1 because sometimes I had hi's to my snares and claps to get that crispness to them that I think/like to hear out of them,
