Here's my first attempt with Superior 2.0. I really love what this program is capable of. I hope you enjoy the drums as much as I do. This is just a bunch of song ideas, not really a song yet, so bear with the drawn out parts where vocals will go. There's some crunchiness on the master bus but its not too bad for just a test. What do you think?
Guitars are my Ibanez S with a newly installed Duncan Distortion into Line 6 Gearbox. I took the JB out. The bass is my Fender P in to a POD X3.

Here's the DFHS 2.0 patch if anyone wants it. It does not include my Cubase mixer settings and effects though, so it will not sound exactly the same. I did extra EQ and compression on each of the 3 snare mics, the kick and toms in cubase. I also adjust volumes for the rest of the mics in Cubase too like the room and bullet mics. No sample replacement was used at all. But this patch may be a good place to start for some that are struggling with 2.0. Enjoy!

And here's the guitar and bass patches. I used a real TS9 instead of Gearbox's but this patch has a built-in tube screamer setting that sounds reasonably close.
NOTE: I only engaged the TS9 on sections where I palm mute. There's no TS9 on the open chord stuff.
I also threw in the Curve EQ files for the guitars. There's 2 different EQs for 4 quadtracked guitars.
Guitar 1 and 4 panned L and R with Curve EQ 1
Guitar 2 and 3 panned 85% L and R with Curve EQ 2 and -3dbs lower in the mix.
All guitars were then sent to a buss with a .5 db boost at 5k and high pass at 50hz and low pass at 12000hz with a steep slope of 36dbs per octave. I used andy's C4 setting after that but I increased the gain of the active band from .3 dbs to 4.6 and changed the release from 25ms to 5ms. Set the threshold so the little orange dancing line bounces just down below the center horizontal line on the palm mutes.
I also uploaded a clip of what the guitars should sound like solo'd.
