METAL FOUNDRY SDX - New metal expansion for superior
- Thread starter Arcay
- Start date
Waterboy has been around here for a long time too and is a straight shooter. I've agreed with his takes on Toontrack's previous products and I'm going to take his word for it.

IMO "Made of Iron" is a really solid old school Heavy Metal preset. With a little more tweaking it's gonna be like a fucking gold-mine. But the others, nahhh. I had expected a lot more.
Edit: $179 - eeeks.

What saample libraries include bells? I've never heard of these cymbals either. Is it the same as a splash?

Yeah, I was gonna say, it looks like a splash to me, though I guess a bit rounder

I believe these are good drum samples and in the right hands will sound very good but i agree that those demos don't sound very good.Some are ok but others are very bad.Lets not forget this is suppose to be the real thing or else there is the slate drums.

Nah, they're literally like a ride with the outside cut off, but normally slightly exaggerated - they're normally about 2.5-4 inches high. They literally just sound like a bell on their own, they 'chime' more than sizzle; personally I don't like them.
I know a couple of guys that put them upside-down on top of their ride, and they sound much better like that to my ears

I find them a bit too mechanical. But do keep in mind that I don't have SSD, I'm judging from the clips I hear, so yeh. Apart from that, it's just my taste. I'd rather stick to dfh and/or real drums.
Edit: And I can't wait to get my hands on metal foundry.

I hate to say that I was really unimpressed with Jocke's (TheDude) clips...Is that what his Axe-FX sounds like?uke:
Yeah, don't get one. It's really that bad. I can't get a good sound out of it, there's no good amps, the latency is huge and I had to sell a kidney to get one. Yes, it's THAT expensive.
I'm excited about this release, it's totally unexpected to me. The drums do sound a lot like the samples from DFH Superior 1.0 though. I originall had EZD, then upgraded to Superior 2.0 and I didn't like Superior 2.0 at all at the beginning. Then I got back to Superior 2.0 after a while and did a lot of processing on every individiual microphone and now I like it. I like more of a fat-rock-metal sort of drum sound than a Meshuggah-like sound though.

Well, now you got Thomas kit and a bunch presets , so for the mechanical metal style this expansion is tits and more . Jocke i think i heard that bulls and parade clip on here before 
maybe with different drums, i cant recall, but on the site the drums sounds great.

I'm definitely not blown away, but eh...I'll buy it.
Anyone else think that DugOut production sounds like St Anger with a better drum mix? (the first two in the playlist)

The AxeFX is only a knight. Edit > Reminds me of the George of the Jungle soundtrack.
"Pod, Pod, Pod of the jungle
Gay as it can be,
Watch out for the fizz"
Nah, the last 2 lines doesnt rhyme as it does in the george of the jungle soundtrack
Back to topic, harmony central says metal foundry would be available worldwide from the 1st of july

Yep, you might have done that.
Whether the mixes are bad or not, it's simply a matter of taste, since all demos on that page is made with the same expansion. "Bullys.." was those drums too with a different preset/mix.Another thing: there's no processing on the Foundry, except the coloration from the Mic preamps on the 70's Neve desk. No EQ/compressor/whatever. You decide what you want, and the presets are nothing but different EQ/comp settings that you can change. Hate the presets? - remix them. No low end? - add it on the damn EQ. No reverb? - send whatever to one of the 32 outputs and add you favourite reverb plug.
Last thing: with 300 000 samples I can assure you that it's VERY playable. But it doesn't sound like a drum kit with trigger mics on it. You'd be needing something else for that.
