Just got superior 2.0. (yes, a few years too late!).

Love the sounds im getting so far, but how does this sound?

Have a go at it.. just a simple snippet and some riffs to go along with the drums for now.

 

[Nuno Filipe]

Love the song. Well it´s superior indeed!lol I like snares with more meat and not so bright but sounds good. For the style fits very well.

 

[carlo_caci]

Suprisingly good, listning through laptop speakers tho. The kick sounds a bit boxy

 

[reaper1984]

Sounds rockin' man.
I guess you used the stringsamples you told me about in private mess right?

Haha.. nah these are spiccato strings in most of the verse.
Edirol orchestra, great synth for what it's worth (no samples/no library).

I like the drums. The kick is a bit too clicky&boxy maybe. Especially in the double-bass parts. Apart from that they rock. Same for the guitars. Your stuff always reminds me a bit of Pain (Tägtgren). I like that! Is that going to be an album thing?

 

[Toxic Grind Machine]

Cheers osum! yes, im setting up the drums right now for the TGM album and i might go for this drum sound (with better velocities and more automation).

 

[Redline4]

Pretty tight shit here, I dig it. Kick maybe a bit slappy and snare is a TAD thin but as Nuno Filipe said it fits the style. God job!

 

[metalmonster34]

I just jizzed a bit. sorry

Nice mix. I REALLY need to get SD. I'm late for the party as usual. I like the string section you had there but I think it can come out just a tad bit. Great job

thanks man..

Yeah i upgraded from superior 1 so it was only 80 euro.. well worth it!

Not even sure if i need the metal foundry, this'll do for now

 

[HollowmanPL]

everything besides kick sound just like toxic and grind

 

[Mago]

Kick sounds a bit out of place, like some samples fighting eachother or something with that
I really like the sound of the snare! Which samples did you blend in to the SD2?
At least I think you blended in something, because I never got to get SD2 sound like that on its own I think

so,the sounds are cool, but you gotta work a bit more on the velocities..altho maybe for your music it's not that much of a problem if it's not humanized

 

[Toxic Grind Machine]

Yeah the kick is a bit weird, i dig that sloppy, clicky style though.. but i shall get it sorted so it does not stick out as much.

omg for snare i blended in 100% sturgis and 100% slate!! haha, nah kidding.. it's 20% fat city and 10% devil driver snare for the little bit of bite.
The sound really comes from superior itself with lots of processing.
I think i can leave out the devil driver snare though, as it probably needs less bite and a bit more fat city aka 200Hz.

Velocities are being worked as well in the end.. and nudging a bit here and there, have to keep it fear factory-like though.. Cheers Mago!
