METAL FOUNDRY SDX - New metal expansion for superior

So was there any nudging of notes, and velocity changes going on Jocke? Just trying to get an idea of how "human" this SDX sounds without doing any of the nudging we normally have to do to get drum samplers sounding realistic.

Velocity changes, by hand, yes. Nudging of notes, no. At least not on the Snotlip. There are tempo changes though.

The midi files was played on an electronic kit.
 
Ahh ok then. I was just trying to prove a point that the naturalness of these clips wouldn't 100% be because of the SDX, it's also down to good work with velocity changes by people like Jocke.
 
If you extract the mp3 from the toontrack player and listen to the demos via itunes etc. they sound 110% better. That player really screws the the sound up. However I'm not sure why one would need this if they have DFH Superior and Superior 2. Perhaps someone who has actually used it can comment on the differences between this sample pack and DFHS.

where did you find the direct links to the mp3s?
 
Actually 'spelled' is only the accepted form in the US, where you use generally use the simple tense rather than the past participle. Here in England 'spelt' is the preferred spelling - though we accept the international English spelling, as we understand that you Yanks are easily confused ;)

Hmph, a likely story... :D

Don't you guys ever get taught in school about how other countries do things? My early education over here made me quite aware the convention in the US is to use "spelled" even though the correct British and thus Australian spelling is "spelt" (ie. I wouldn't bother calling out an American for using the different spelling).
 
Yeah, our education system downplays the whole "other countries" thing, along with just about everything else.

any of you guys know the direct links for the mp3s? I'd like to download them and listen through winamp... looked through page source but can't get them there...

Yeah, unfortunately I gotta agree with these guys - I consider myself an expert at grammar at least as far as the way I've been taught it, but I never once learned there was any other way until I came here! (except for the obvious ones like "colour" and such, but for example I had no freakin' clue you guys called it maths, that still seems kinda dumb to me, since it's an abbreviation :goggly: )
 
I think words like colour are recognized as a foreign thing because there are a lot of people here who can't spell for shit. They see colour and can't remember if it's colour or color. They'll notice "oh britons do that" before they pick up a dictionary.

I'm actually talking out of my ass but maybe it was true for someone in history.

The fact you consider yourself an expect is precisely the reason you're not! :heh:

Well I would think that there is an S on the end of Maths because Mathematics ends in an S, but then again I might just be talking complete shit. And yeah, not to bag on you Americans, but the way you're taught in school seems to be very insular in many different ways, the same thing kinda happens over here, but I don't think it's to the same level.
 
One thing that cracks me up is people who say "I could care less" when they mean the opposite. Argh!!!!!!!!!!

Steve.

Don't even get me started on some of the problems we have with grammar over here! Such as "Can you borrow me a pen?" but then again you Americans have the almighty "I didn't do nothing!" which as we all know is a double negative, implying that the person who said those words, did in fact do something.

I've also come to notice from different websites that the younger population in America seem to have huge illiteracy problems, especially when it comes to differentiating between there, their and they're, and were and where and we're. Maybe this isn't a true reflection of how it is over there, but it certainly appears that young Americans have a harder time getting to grips with certain grammar and spelling conventions than young English/British people do.

I'm not the worlds greatest when it comes to spelling or grammar, but I generally try to present everything I say in a manner that people will understand easily, and it really gets to me when people just don't put any effort in at all.

And by the way Steve, "you Americans" wasn't fired at you, I'm not sure what country you're from! :D
