So… I just got the Death Metal EZX & so far I’m loving it! Here’s a quick little test demo I did this morning. I’m using the Mark Lewis Metallic Black Kit. Guitars are just DI using Ignite Emissary & NadIR. What do you guys think? I think the Death Metal EZX is the best sounding EZX so far. Bravo Toontrack!

Track is excellent. As far as the drums go, it’s more of how well the library sits in your song than anything else. I would agree that the both the EZX and preset used go well with your song. On critique I have is that I don’t know if you did any bass guitar because I didn’t really pick any up on any of my speakers. That’s all I would want to hear just a bit more to complement the guitars.

Thanks for the compliment! I don’t have a bass guitar yet, but I’ve been planning on buying one. I programmed a MIDI bass on the track but it sounded so robotic I just turned it down & used it for sound reinforcement.

I suspect that this is (although slightly dated) what you want to watch:

Nah, I already know how to do all that. I guess I’ll just have to get in touch with Ola. Thanks anyway John.
Ok. I have successfully routed Multi-out with the Fredrik Thordendal “Bleed” Preset & the MIDI Recording Sessions “Gene Hoglan” Preset. They were routed & bussed so it was easy. I’m guessing some Presets are meant to be on one track? Or is there another trick?
If you watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpsKp-vdBLY you’ll see what I mean. He opens Superior in Multi-out & then clicks a + button & an AUX track for each Drum Channel pops up & then he routes everything to a single Bus. The only problem is he’s using Logic & I’m using SONAR Platinum & I can’t figure out how to do it.
Any ideas?
The music is cool but it sounds like you need a Limiter or some Mastering software to boost the volume up & get the track slamming! Try out Toontrack’s EZMix 2 & the Mastering I & II EMX bundles. Thanks for posting the track! Good luck with your recording! 🙂

Hi,
it would be easier to give exact help if I knew exactly which Library and Preset we are talking about but if I just grab any example of a Producer Preset:
Bulb Pack – Big and OpenHe has routed the mic faders to group busses, i.e. the Kick microphones to the first bus, which is renamed ‘KICK’; the Snare microphones to the next bus, which is renamed ‘SNARE’, etc.
He also has set up a Send to a parallell comp bus with a compressor on it, named ‘COMP’.
If I scroll to the right in the mixer, I can see all these Bus Faders and their outputs set to ‘Out 1/2’.
If I now want them on separate outs in my DAW or hardware mixer, this is where I assign them; the ‘KICK’ bus to Out 1/2, the ‘SNARE’ bus to Out 3/4, etc.I hope this clarifies.
Thanks for the reply! I was referring to the Ola Englund Preset for The Metal Foundry SDX. Sadly, I’ve already tried your method & it didn’t work for me.
Example: In the Ola Englund preset I have, the snare top/bottom/trash are routed to Outs 1/2. When I manually route them to Outs 3/4 nothing happens. All the tracks stay on the same channel… Any ideas?
