Holy Shit!

Is it just me or do most of those audio clips sound awful? The only half decent one is Bleed, and even then it's hardly something to write home about.

 

[The Unavoidable]

I'm still missing some really "clicky" kicks, and some of the toms still seem to have that very undesirable 'ring' that I have come to recognize with DFH. EZD is actually the only one I've heard that didn't have that.

On further listening however the "Dirk - Metall" preset seems to be more in the vein of what I like. I'll wait until I hear some productions with it though, before making any decisions. (especially with the Slate Samples around that are just perfect for metal)

Looks awesome, but the demos sound like Ezdrummer again. All sounds very small and tight, not much depth. Would like to hear it in the hands of a sneapster though....I kinda hope its not good because then id want it and ive spent enough on Slate etc! Overheads sound decent...not much different to 2.0 though...

Not just you.

I'm liking the gene hoglan MIDI and preset sample

 

[slashvanyoung]

I really like the "Gene - Bleed Preset" clip. There's snapping, ringing and 'verbing like there's no tomorrow... but I actually like that a lot. Can't stand drums that are way dry or "dead".

 

[Jaymz]

DugOut - Snotlip easily sounds the best.

I hate to say that I was really unimpressed with Jocke's (TheDude) clips...Is that what his Axe-FX sounds like? uke:

 

[Let it burn...]

no black panther makes Burnsy sad.....

 

[Waterboy]

I can tell you all that these kits (IMHO) sound really, really good.
This is my favorite release to date - and all of the PreSets they have come up with are exceptional.

I am very impressed with some of those names that created PreSets for this product.
I am going to try and post a couple of examples as well - although I'm sure that ToonTracks Clips will be better than mine.
But FWIW - I really think this is a great step for the TT crew.
Just mt humble 2¢

 

[Ronnie_Rocker]

this will rule my world!

 

[Matt-Steele]

Waterboy - I know you're probably the biggest Toontrack fanboy ever, but you've got to agree that those demos are not up to snuff, especially when you stack them up against SSD. You're entitled to your opinion, but honestly there's no comparison when it comes to metal, at least from what those demos depicted.

BTW... I've used tons guitar equipment over the years with patches by famous players, but did those units usually nail the tone of the artist? Usually not, and I feel this is the case with Metal Foundry.

hmmmm i guess if you have purchased S2.0 and Slate Drums, you don't really need this expension....

the kick and snare sound bad on most of the clips.

 

[kaomao]

Kicks have not fucking low end I hate superior kicks. I can't say if superior 1.0 had more lowend on kicks!
As always these are not raw samples.... these are totally comp-ed and eq-ed to hell!

 

[Jaymz]

1.0's kicks were OK

This blows, and again there's no bell included. How the f*** can you play metal without a bell ?

 

[Psych05]

I am not impressed.

I don't know what bell you mean, because there is a cowbell included, and obviously ride bell samples too.

I believe he means cup chime samples.
