But overall I think you pretty much nailed all the strengths of the various Superior products (including Platinum – Evil Drums).
Well, in my humble opinion.
I guess it’s about keeping the levels of the close mics high.
C&V is about drier, multi-miced drums, where ambience should be the icing on the cake, not the main meal.
Have you enabled all the bleeds?
There are no rules.
It’s up to you.
I guess I would say the library is aimed at people who need drier (less roomy) drums for something.
So you might explore all the close mic options before messing with ambience and comp-ambience.
Using a room ambience from one of the other Toontrack libraries is a great option though.
One big thing to explore is all the bleed options.
Enabling all bleeds and messing with them is one great way to achieve the true potential of the sounds in C&V.
How long has it been out? A couple of months?
Let’s look back on it after a year.
I’ve just started using it and right now it seems like a great stereo ‘do anything’ plug-in in Logic.
Need a quick perc loop, or a guide synth part, or a rex guitar part.
It’s so easy and delivers a lot of different sounds for the price.
One thing you could consider.
You don’t need to follow the name on the pre-set.
Sometimes a guitar pre-set sounds great on drums, or a stereo master pre-set. Likewise a drum pre-set can work well on keyboards.
I know the tweakability is limited, but it’s still worth trying to ignore the designated function sometimes, just to see if anything good happens.
