Hello, I'm a pop producer and most of the time use MIDI for my productions, especially my drums. There was a particular snare that I heard from a YouTube video online that I would like to learn how to duplicate on my own. Is there a way I can tune a similar sounding snare in Logic Pro to match what I heard in the video, or should I just keep digging online for a snare sample that sounds closer to what I want? If there is a way to do it in my DAW, what would you do to achieve that? EQ?

Its always best to start with the closest sounding sample. Many
Its always best to start with the closest sounding sample. Many drum sample vsti will have tuning settings on them, like slate drums, bfd, toontrack, etc. Those work over a pretty wide range.
If you don't have that, and you just need a little tuning, you can try a pitch shifting pluggin.
interesting now you got me thinking.....usb connected microproce
interesting now you got me thinking.....usb connected microprocessor to multiple servo motors on the drum head tuners. Throw in a motor control stick to beat the head consistently.... you could tune the head from the daw....;)

Most drum samples and loops available and those, can I say overused, aren't just the recording of the instrument.
A big part of THE SOUND, sample seakers want is a combinaison of snare and reverb.
Even if the tunnig is important, EQ and Reverb textures makes a big difference.
Most of the time a gated reverb was used in the classic samples, like the TR-808 and others.
Some bass drum samples in electronic music aren't based on a real bassdrum at all.
Some snare samples are clever combinaison of snare and hand claps (detuned and overcompressed..)
Personnaly and with all my respect, I wouldn't try to make it sound like someone else. Producing unique sounds is far more rewarding than trying to copy others...
