Hi,

This clap sounds everybody is using, are they recording/ synthesizing them themselves or is it any samplecd they are using?

I make something similar with frequency modulating a sinewave with lowpass filtered noise, but I suspect that its not the common way to make this sound.

Are they recording several claps, and giving them tiny delays?

Thank you !!!

Or its a few different claps layered together.

If you could upload a very short example of the exact sound for us I'm sure we could be more helpful.

A lot of 'em these days use somethin like a Motif or Fantom for most of the sounds, so multiple clap samples seems the most plausible.

I mean the clap sound you hear everytime you turn on the radio and hear contemporary pop music performed by black artists

P

Yes, they're mostly 808 (I think I've heard some 909) claps that have been mixed with other sounds. I've even noticed that some hip-hop snare samples that I have a very clappy - as if a snare sound was combined with a clap.

You could try slapping Piff Diddly or 50 Pence around the face with a haddock and sample the result.

Or, layer together various claps with a snare that has avery short release & decay envelope.
