Has anyone tried Slate Platinum with metalfoundry?

[ApeScaleConflict]

I wondered if anyone has done experimenting with slate and metalfoundry, or superior whatsoever. Is it a good idea to blend those? And would it be good to use the metalfoundrys room samples or stick with the slates? Do people usually use the slate all the way or do this kind of blending with other virtual instruments on programmed drums? Thanks!

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Yeah all the time. It sounds good.

jap

And howabout that room issue? Does the slate drums work fine with superior's room mics? And should i put slates samples with "room" in it or not?

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I don't put in room sounds. It's more of a blend than a total replacement.

 

[NSGUITAR]

ALLL the time.


MF for snap, SSD for body..

yeah the superior drummer 2.0 room samples work fine with slate snares. The only problem is getting the velocities between the two to match up well(at least the way i do it). A medium velocity in TRIGGER isnt necessarily a medium hit in SD.

 

[Dexter_prog]

same thing I've asked in another thread but noone replied: are you guys enabling any bleed in SD2?

 

[Ermz]

Yeah with TMF if you blend the Slates over 100% then it becomes usable.

 

[P-E]

The cymbals in TMF sound great, the toms are OK and the snares are dreadful. Uinge TMF as the basis with Avatar shells as X-Drums + a bit of slate should be great.

I use bleed, but sometimes I control it, lowering what I don't want in the track, sometimes eliminating it all.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Naw fuck bleed. If I don't have to deal with it I don't. haha

This is metal everything EXTREME BRO!!!

 

[ApeScaleConflict]

Yeah, i purchased ssd platinum the other day and been messing around with it. Gotta mess around like hell with the samples to know which ones are suitable for smack and which for pOppens. I thought that i'd have with the SSD platinum some wav files to use with trigger but the hell? I just gotta create a midi track if i want to blend slate samples with the project i've starting to mix? Do i REALLY have to purchase trigger platinum also?

- metal foundry cymbals
- allaire 3 tom set (best sounding toontrack toms IMHO)
- slate kick 10, snare 12a

that's where i usually start at.
i also blend in some LSD samples for some extra smack!

cheers

Yeah i thought of putting some obscurity kick over the slate 10. Might be wicked! Dunno really if the kit will sound dead with my skills. Bit worried about getting the room sound "natural" but ill figure it out

Well, maybe it`s just me, but I really like Haake`s snares from TMF, but then again, I more use his snare from DFHS as an X-drum...has the 'poppiness' I just love about his sound just a little OT
