giving metal foundry and 8505 a first chance :)

[Emdprodukt]

The last few hours I had some fun with the 8505 ampsim and the metal foundry. instead of using any of the given presets in the metal foundry I decided to start from scratch and see what I can achive.

I used the DW drumkit, one kick only, snare is pearl sensitone aluminium, no other samples and allmost everything done within S2.0 except for reverb and some compression on the master.

because I'm not used to this software at all don't expect this to be one of my better mixes

bass is real with studio devil virtual bass, eq, compression and filtering.

guitars are dualtracked with ltd mh-1000 - emg81 - edirol fa-101 - 8505 - sir2 with catharsis awesome s-preshigh impulse (love it. really.), high/lowpass, some eq and c4.

what do you think?

it's pumping like hell. damn.

The guitars sound just a tad muffled, good otherwise.
The kick lacks alot of highs and some sublows/lows, same goes for the toms.
You should turn the snare up, the transient is a bit to loud tho.
The OH's sound nice!
Could you share your superior preset?

I thought the kick allready had a lot of highs. I will give it a try though.

The snare sounds good...kick not so much. Guitars were pretty solid as well.

The tom rolls sound quite robotic to me.... but other than that, pretty neat!

Try to add a bit more highs and lows (maybe around 80Hz), then reduce the attack with a transient designer 5-20% and it will sound killer.

and edit the velocities of your tom hits (start rolls with higher velocities, and dip them down toward the end of the roll!)

metal foundry sounds quite taste-tacular, might purchase my self a copy!

thanks,

8505 settings please? sounds awesome!

 

[Emdprodukt]

I allready did that velocitie stuff for the fills but it still sounded robotic. after using the transients designer to take some of the attack it sounded much better.

8505 settings:

gain - 7
low - 6
mid - 4
sweep - 3
high - 5,5
power amp - 7,5


I really dig the kick! thought it was allready kinda boomy/clicky. there was allready a boost around 60-80hz and a lot of highs.

[Emdprodukt]

felix! long time no talk dude great you like it! I thought you maybe allready headed to the US! give me a call mr. dudikowski!

 

[Felix Neumann]

No, no I´m still here, dude And it´s overdue, that we phone! In the last days/weeks I was trapped in World of Warcraft, loading my akku for some new music projects.

It worked.

 

[Emdprodukt]

you could have visted me instead of playing WoW and that would have refilled you completely, I swear

 

[Emdprodukt]

yeah okay I'm lying. you would be completely wasted from drinking and partying

 

[Felix Neumann]

Hahaha possible But really..it was like a pleasent cure to play this shit. I actually turned the music off in the game
