Blastbeats in Superior 2.0

[Unavailable]

not if you increase the volume of the mic it is miced with when the blast beats kick in

Still won't sound the same, though. Most drummers will hit lighter for a blast beat, and a drum sounds different when it's being hit at those lower velocities, regardless of volume level.

Take a listen at this:

The snare hits at the blasts are just a little lighter.

Sounds quite good. The synth-bass is horrible for my ears.

That's just because they hit like girls all the time, and not only during blast beats.

I've heard of a drummer around here in Gävle who plays blast beats with rim shots... now how's that for volume?

not if the drummer uses triggers....

I'm pretty sure triggers can capture dynamics (I think the difference is whether the sampler that they're triggering is set up to be dynamic-sensitive)

Well, we aren't talking about triggers here are we?

Even still, the triggers capture dynamics, it just depends on what you use the trigger to sample that will determine the sound.

Edit: Basically what Marcus said, .

Of course they can The signal strength varies from the vibration they pick up.

It's just that (not to be a prick but) every kiddo/clueless person associates triggers with DIMMUH BORGIRZ0RZ instantly.

I'm sure that if you sampled a jazz kit with very very many velocity samples, you could play jazz perfectly fine with an all out triggered kit.

Yeah turning the velocities down a bit helps a lot with blast beats. Still tho I really can't figure out how to make gravity blasts with S20, I tried turning down the velocities to absolute minimum and still it sounds like drummer playin 16's with two hands. Sum weird shit huh.
