    Hell yes \m/ The new Bob Rock SDX for Superior 3 is badass. Love the Metallica Kit - forget what they actually call it in the program, but Black Album quality drums for sure.

    Toontrack Metal Month 2017

    The new toontrack release is more MIDI, not Fuck You Midi, but Doom/Core MIDI. Sounds killer to me, but I'm not drunk or stoned or both yet.

    Mastering RMS - To crush or not to crush, that is the question

    Something inside me keeps saying crank it up more, but the range you listed is probably best. Not too low to the point you're reaching for the volume knob immediately and not too much treble/distortion because it was pushed too far. \m/

    Mastering RMS - To crush or not to crush, that is the question

    I've been mastering projects to peak at -7db RMS lately, but I know that a ton engineers think this is way too loud. I can get about -4db or -5db of RMS range in the song, with -11db or -12db being present at the quietest parts and -7db being present at the loudest. Most of my songs are...
