    Superior Drummer 2 Metal Machinery advice

    I've used the metal machine EZX for a while and have to say it's way ahead of the other EZX's I've got (DfH, Metal!), sounds good with no tweaking to my ears. I'm using it with SD2; never bothered to upgrade to EZ2 either as the improvements seem to be more around the interface than the sounds...

    Drum replacement requirements...

    DRT is a new one on me. In the end up I went for trigger (already got at ilok). I can defintely see the advantage of printing a midi version of a drum track before replacing but I've only bothered with that previously on problem tracks with blasts or ghost notes/fills where I think I've missed...

    Adding more low end punch to the kick

    Thanks for sharing! Just wondered, can you explain why the new track doesn't cause phase issues with the original kick? But with a transient designer it does?

    Drum replacement requirements...

    Well, the answer seems to be buy slate trigger, since it's on sale...

    Drum replacement requirements...

    Apologies because I know there are a few threads on this, but they are pretty old, and I know drumagog in particular has been updated since those were posted... So, I'm working in Reaper, and through various workarounds and JS plugins, I can take a mic'ed snare track for example, and output a...

    Adding protection to a cabinet?

    Scottish metal

    So this is my own band, I did a demo mix while we're getting some cash together to record properly. Would be interested to hear what you guys think about the production, and the song generally. I'm pretty sure I've heard it way too many times to have any proper perspective! Drums are real...

    Dark Extreme Metal Mix Advice

    Pretty sure there are others more experienced here who could give you some tips on improving the mix but I think it might be an idea to compare it to some reference mixes and tweak the. Eq on individual elements. I'm not used to the headphones I'm listening but the balance sounds a bit odd...

    Marshall JMP1....

    I'd agree with this 100%. It's a steal for what it is but you need to try it yourself because it does some sounds very well and others not so it depends on personal preference

    Marshall JMP1....

    if you go for a jmp1, you really need to use it with a good valve power amp, and preferably a rack eq as well. There's better things out there but only if you pay a lot more. When I had a jmp1, I found it did one tone really well, but not much else. I upgraded to a triaxis but they're about...

    Ddrum Redshot triggers and DD1 drum module.....

    sorry i don't have experience of those exact triggers (our drummer had the model up from the redshot for his kick and, as i mentioned in my thread, i think it is either sh:t or broken). They should work better than that though. Other than the obvious check all the cables and RTFM, this link...

    using triggers live

    Ok, ressurecting an old thread here but thought it might be worth posting the solution in case anyone else has had the same problem. You guys were right about the roland trigger- used that with the gain around 50ish (messed around to avoid false triggering from the floor tom and snare), on some...
