Hi!
I thinks its really hard to get a decent drumsound on superior drummer 2.0.
I would like to get that old 70s hardrock sound.
Like the sound on the drums on shock me with kiss from the love gun album 1977.
Can anyone help me please?
Someone maybe has got a really good preset and some tips on other plugins and effects so the drums sound really good 🙂

I use creative gigaworks t20 computer speakers and my hifi stereo system and akg k 240 studio headphones.
So ive got 3 different monitor opions.
Not the best stuff 🙂 But i mean if the toontrack demos sound great on all of my monitors why doesnt the sound i record sound great.

You gotta remember though,this is their product and they know how to get what they want out of it.
Also,these guys are professionals.They do this for a living and they have been doing it for a lot of years.

My mixing does not sound professional either.I got along ways to go myself.

Hang in there.

The drums are recorded with c&v. Im not pleased with the sound, i think it sounds to flat like everything i do 🙂
Any ideas?

If I am not mistaken the demos are done with the mixer in Superior,but I could be wrong.

Also,what are you using for monitoring?
If I am just playing around editing grooves,I just use the computer speakers because I am not looking for sound,just patterns.
When I am looking for sound ,I use my headphones through my MIDI keyboard(can’t afford nearfields yet).The difference between the two are night and day.
It would be the same using nearfields,as it would be mixing in a state of the art professional studio.The end results would sound different.

Someone more expierienced will need to offer advice on brightening up a dull and flat mix.

Just get the best head phones you can afford if you have no monitors. And you can grab http://www.rndigital.com/inspector.html! It’s free and is great so you can see any offending frequencies in your mix. Throw it on LAST in your inserts chain. Another way to check your mixes is use of course your computers speakers no matter what size speakers they are. And use your cars stereo. Car stereos add bass and probably 90% of people who listen to your stuff… it’ll either be one of three places
1. their computer MP3 probably!
2. their mobile phone mp3 player!
3. or their car mp3’s!
Make all your finished MP3’s 320Kbps

To help brighten mixes, remember to put HPF’s on!! Guitars! Notch offending frequencies out, try not to add gain (I was a huge expert at adding too much gain in final mixes!) And you really don’t need the very best monitors, just need to learn your own monitors capabilities. I’m still learning mine But…. killa DA convertors and awesome monitors are well….. awesome!

Good Luck

The Metal Foundry has a Tama Imperialstar kit with ten toms ranging from 6″ – 20″. That kit is inspired by Peter Criss and the 70’s Kiss sound.

Actually I did come accross that analyser at http://www.kvraudio.com/ and it was listed as no longer available.I will certainly give it a try.
Right now I am using SPAN by Voxengo http://www.voxengo.com/product/span/ (which is also free).

As far as headphones I have Sennheiser HD 280 Pro.I don’t believe you can really find any negative reviews on them.

I’m not going to get into why I had to get rid of my Ozonic (which had an audio interface) and go with the Axiom 49 (which does not have an audio interface),it’s just to long of a story to get into on a forum.
So for now I am using ASIO4ALL to use the Realtek soundcard in the computer.

I must say I am surprised,it is rare to hear someone encourage the minimalist approach.I’m sure you have read your share of posts on any forum where the prevailing wisdom is that you can only successfully produce a recording with the best of equipment.

Well I’ll close for now.I don’t know if you have ever seen either of these
