Made an intro from a later guitar section and since there were no drums, i prgrammed a beat in and used DKFH superior.


The whole key to this sound is a freeware preamp emulator that just makes everything SO warm.

Apart from the drums it sounds very nice and warm :rock:. The drums however do not seem to work for me. Especially the kick drum is way to clicky for this kind of music. I think a bigger sounding bassdrum, hit at less velocity would work better. Furthermore the drums don't seem to align correctly with the music at all times. I would also turn the normal snare (not the one sounding as coming through an old radio) down a bit. The snare might also benefit from a some what looser sound, since this is quite a mellow song. Hope this helps :)


By the way could you share with us what this preamp plugin is, which you talk about.

I see exactly that you mean about the drums, you're right!

Might spend a wee bit more time with it.



The preamp plugin, is kinda usless a lot of the time but in the places where it works, it's fucking SWEET.


Musicrow Audio Software- vsti and vst plugins



It can just arm up a whole mix.


Another use i like it for is on vocals sometimes.
