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?

I would like to have a preset for the drums on that song 🙂
And i would like to know what other equipment you used for processing that song.
Plugins etc on every instrument. Matering effects?
I think the drums, guitars and bass sounds great on that track.

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.

Sounds pretty cool.
Never heard them before.
Maybe you can put a mic infron of a metalsheet our something and hit it with something 🙂

I understand that i will never get that particular sound on the drums.
The sound im getting is a kind of cardboard box sound. Dull and flat.
The demos for superior 2.0 c&v etc sounds pretty good but the presets doesn´t sound like the demos at all.
They must have done alot of processing outside of superior.
Is there anys good plugin effect that really can make the drums sound good?
Im no good at mixing but i hear when it dosent sound right 🙂

Hi.
I really like the sound on camco jam too.
But i cant get that sound from c&v.
Ive used Peter Henderson presets called ‘Open Oaklawn’ and ‘Vintage Oaklawn.
Perhaps its the right drums but theres got to be alot of processes going on outside of superior drummer.
If you just use C&V, even with their own presets its sounds pretty flat and dull.

Thanks for the tip about layers.
I dont know if its possible to do that using edrums.
But i dublicated the midi drumtrack so one had a full kit with camco toms ,camco kick and ludwig black beauty 1920s snare.
The other kit had only a kick and a snare. I used slingerland 70s snare from hit factory and 18×22 gms from avatar.
I added some tape simulator (jb ferox) too.
Its starting to sound a little better i think 🙂

Im using edrums. Yamaha dtexpress2.
Thank you very much!! I will try your preset

[Nickster]

Thank you very much!!! 🙂

[Nickster]

Thanks. I will try to add some tape-simulator to the drumtracks 🙂
But i dont think i will get that heavy, clear drumsound

[Nickster]

No i´ve got alliere, hit factory and c&v.
I use c&v the most.
I always seem to get a dull flat sound no matter how much i tweak 🙂

[Nickster]

I got the same problem with my yamaha dtxpress2.
It doesn´t sound fluid at all
