Has anyone succesfully done a uber blastbeat death metal song with DFHS yet?

[~BURNY~]

I still have this old shitty clicky test file... For what it's worth...

I dig it. Presented well and you give good info on how to come prepared and setting up. BUT, you need to put up some Black Prophecy session photos. Mwhahahahah

MetalHead28 - thank you so much for posting that up. Now I see why my fills never sounded like yours (the right DM way), because you are fucking INSANE, . Your programming is absolutely nuts my friend. Very nicely done. Even just the raw DFHS bounce out sounds like a drummer jamming out in a garage or something. Very cool. So now I know how to make DM fills like I always hear, woohoo. Thanks again man. Cheers.

HAHA...Thanks my man. I knew I was INSANE, but I didn't realize it helped my programming . Glad I could help.
My favorite DM fills are the ones with lots of foot action, rolling from the toms to the kicks over and over again. That's sort of like my secret weapon

Also watching some cool drum vids helps too. Such as this classic tune with Hannes Grossmann on drums.

Metalhead! Indeed! I just fired up your .dfh and midi into Nuendo. VERY nice programming.

I've been studying this and it is very nice work. The velo variations on the snare hits are fantastic.

What is your general modus operandi? Is every single hit done via step input/auto quantize or was this originally a much slower (120bpm) e-kit performance and then refined/tweaked with micro-management?

Thanks.
Every single hit is drawn in with the mouse in the piano roll view. I usually draw in all the hits and then just tweak the velocities to suit. Either by just clicking on individual hits, or drawing them in the controller pane. I use Sonar by the way.
It's actually a pretty fast process anymore. I do alot of cutting and pasting too, I just tweak things afterwards so it doesn't sound like it's repeating too much.

not my work, but one of the guys from harmony central did this which i thought sounded great

metalhead, that was a kickass clip indeed

here's a tune i've been working on (victimized by my primitive and lame mixing skills): http://disvisioned.net/clips/cobrahead_damnation2.mp3

Thanks, and that is some cool stuff you've done there too!

thanks

hopefully this summer i can find the time to do some proper recordings of some of that stuff...gonna attempt to use a real snare and hi hat, and use DFH2 for the rest of the kit (which will probably have me realizing i should just stick to guitar...but i'm gonna give it a try )

right i did a section of cast down the heretic by nile, drums are dfhs with andy's kick and snare samples, sounds kinda fake still to me, but not that bad.

Lower the velocities on the blast snare stuff.....this would not sound so bad in a mix.

aside from the robotic snare, that sounds really good!

While we're talking about DFHS, I just installed it and got these results http://student-kmt.hku.nl/~tymon/mp3/Metalshop Thrash 6.mp3

The kick and snare are pretty hard to get right, especially the kick has a very extreme EQ curve. Any tips or advice?

 

[Seizure.]

Sounds pretty awesome to me man snare has a nice pop (maybe to much 2k ish?) and Kick is great too..

I gotta buy me some superior! whats the price in euro's these days?
