Heya Machinated, I’ve just recently downloaded Basic Rock + Fills and I’m pleased to say that it is doing a lot of what I want… I’ll look into Rock Songs too!

Evil Drums hey? The two options for Steven Slate drums sound interesting too, but I’m guessing they won’t work with EZdrummer?

Thanks for the tips!

Yeah ‘gating’ didn’t really do what I want. Goodbye ‘ghost notes’!
And anyway you’d need to gate the ‘O/heads’ and ‘room’ too which gives a quite undesirable ‘electronica’ sound!

Like Juicy, it’s the snare and particularly the toms I’d want to shorten… Being able to adjust the sample’s envelope or transient, Bradch00 sounds like a very powerful tool indeed!

Thanks for the help guys!

Any suggestions out there for good, modern hard-rock midi?

Thanks!

Hi Fizbin,

Tried dialling back the room sound and it does help ‘tame the beast’ a little but the ring on the drums is still fairly long.

In the presets section there is a ‘gated’ sound which does the job, but unfortunately does it altogether too well and cuts the sound a little too harshly. That does make me think I could output the drums to an external gate and make the effect a little less dramatic though!

Failing that then it might be time to start looking at SD as I think ‘attenuating the release’ is probably what I really want to be doing 🙂

Thanks for your suggestions!
