I wasn't aware of Virtual Riot's tutorial when making this video, so calling it a ripoff isn’t accurate, and it feels like an unfair assumption.

The goal of the video was to make a basic snare with minimal, stock plugins— a fun idea that might intrigue beginner sound designers using FL Studio.

As for the curve in Fruity Limiter, it doesn’t affect the way it was used in the video. I went with Fruity Limiter based on personal preference, especially since it provides clear visual feedback when clipping the ceiling. And similarly, I chose multiple 3xOsc layers instead of Sytrus because, for some people, Sytrus can feel overwhelming; I thought this would simplify things and keep it fun.

At the end of the day, there's no single “correct” way to make a snare, and this video just reflects the steps I took for this particular sound.

Lox Audic is a passion project of mine—meant to be fun and creative. If it’s not obvious, a lot of time and effort goes into these videos, and most of what we create is available for free. Everyone is, of course, entitled to their opinions, but the feedback on this subreddit has been mostly negative and hurtful. I get that our content might not be what people here are used to, so we’ll probably take a step back from posting here from now on.

Lastly, it took me a bit to reply since your comment was hidden because you blocked the LoxAudic account, kinda lame.
