2 Kits. Pick one. SD2.0/Metal Machine

[Robert Landrum]

Basically what the title says. Which one do you think "fits" in the mix better. Both kits have the same kicks. The kicks are the only thing that I really love. Being that no one ever finds their "Holy Grail" snare we can only use what we are content with at the moment so that's why I have done this. In search of a better snare.

Track is a little over a minute long. Details of what was used in the mix can be provided if needed.


#1 -This is my original kit. SD2.0 w/Slate Presets with Metal Foundry Kicks.

#2 -This is the new "test" kit. Metal Machine w/Nolly "Big Small Kit" Presets with Metal Foundry Kicks.

In both situations the snare seems ''out'' of the mix, I don't know, it just doesn't fit. But I prefer the test kit.

Out as in a "volume" issue? By lowering the volume and making the snare sit further back in the mix might help it out? Thanks for checking it out.

I changed the volume of the snare and updated the link. Is that better?

Better indeed, I still prefer no2 but the snare is still a little loud. And I don't like the cymbals panning.

The panned cymbals are set to stock in SD. There's certain ones that I don't like and will be taking out that are far L and far R. Glad to hear the snare is sitting better. I'm liking the 2nd kit more and more. I think I will put for time into it know and start to tweak it now that I have something with better potential than my original. Thanks again for checking it out.
