Let’s discover the best drum and percussion plugins for you in this article.ĭrum plugins are possibly some of the most overlooked instrument plugins. I’m inspired by everything from Corpse to Bloodbath, In Flames and At The Gates, Old Mans Child to Archspire, and Feared.Whether it’s a flawless natural kit or a meticulously programmed TR-808, drums are vital in music production. (I don’t get or follow a lot of the newer stuff). I can’t tell you what flavor since so much has changed over the years. I read a lot on SSO and there are some talented musicians here! Oh yea, and it is a metal project. Maybe I’ll have some rough cuts to share in the near future. When your ambition exceeds your ability it’s always nice to have a starting point to work with. Thanks for the db and volume numbers too. I would like to help him though, by getting my tracks closer to the right sound, that way he can mix less and shred more! He did add some low eq but he’s got a much better handle on mixing than I. After my buddy sent back our current mix (still working out our guitar tones too) it does seem that the overall drum track is too loud and causing some light clipping (fading guitars out in spots). I’ll give that a shot while I’m playing around with the eq. I haven’t tried the volume control in SD yet, just on my drum track in S1. lol! If you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re missing out!
I like the “turn the volume down comments”! Gives a little perspective on how my OP may read to others. You'll probably need to get an EQ on it anyway if you want to take Avatar and get more of a, oh, Soilwork sort of sound out of it. Again, modern metal favors - in addition to a very loud, prominent kick - a bright, clicky, scooped one, with little midrange and generally more sub-lows than lows/low-mids. IIRC Superior starts off with a pretty "neutral" mix to the kit, so if you're tracking metal (which considering you're here I'm going to guess you are) then a lot of modern metal mixes feature a very prominent kick, louder than it would be in the room.Īlso, while Superior 2's Avatar is definitely a "mixed" kit right out of the box, it's still a fairly neutral mix. You can also set relative levels this way, and (while the overall volume of Superior definitely needs to come down) one thing that might help more than EQ alone is just bringing the kick up relative to the rest of the kit.
SUPERIOR DRUMMER TRIAL TRIAL
So far, not much response on the kick, out of my subwoofer on our trial mixes.Ĭlick to expand.I personally like sending output into Reaper and mixing it there, but you could just as easily go to the Mixer in Superior and add any FX you need there. I have a very honest car stereo that will let me know when I’ve gone too far. I will play around with the kick eq at 40-60Hz. If I drop the volume on the entire drum track to avoid clipping, then only the snare (and some cymbals) has the volume needed to cut through my mix. I didn’t know SD was so loud, I still have much to learn about proper track level amd headroom. I am careful to make sure that velocity changes as necessary on each beat, otherwise at 127 it sounds like an old Simmons E-drum I used to have. Is there a frequency range I may want to cut a little on the snare eq (mostly for rim shots)? Open to ideas, and I like the out of the box sound and dynamics I’m getting with SD. It just sounds mushy, digitized or less human. Do you think this is worth doing? So far I have tried applying different eq and comp in each drum track inside the SD mixer, or on the entire drum track in S1, to no avail. I’m still under the learning curve when it comes to all of this, and am not sending any tracks from SD into seperate tracks in S1 yet.
