https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB6iBFxHz1I This vid taught me a lot on how to make my own snares, I don't even use FL (I use Ableton) nor do I have any of these specific plugins but the same principles apply to making snares out of white noise. Ignore him trying to be funny or whatever but try to pay specific attention to what he's doing since he doesn't really explain anything.

OK, so I guess "with love" would be a decent summary of how people approach snares. I sort of agree with the sentiments about not reinventing the wheel; for making music, I'd really prefer to use just one sample per snare sound, but I don't have too many quality samples in my library ATM. Are there any must-have free snare samples, or should I just immediately throw my money at some paid ones?

Here are my thoughts on snares

Nice to see some quality tutorials on youtube that are also to the point :)

Depending on the type of music you make you might get some good use out of crispydinner's snares on freesound.org. He also makes really good kicks, just search his name on there.

Thanks, will check them out. Yeah, I completely ignored that snare sounds vary a lot between genres. I'm currently trying to produce electro house stuff in the styles of Madeon and deadmau5, but what I'd like to have is a nice generalist library of samples so that I can easily experiment in styles like glitch hop, neurofunk, and maybe even dubstep.
