Some drumagog questions

[ThomasT]

Hallo!

I have some questions about drumagog.

1. Are there any metal compatible samples (basssdrum, snare) out there?
The basic sample library is not so good.
What about Purrrfect drums?
Are they worth 200$?

2. How can I reduce the dynamic in drumagog?
It seems it only has a switch "dynamic tracking". On/off.
Have I to route the drums through an compressor before?
Or is there a trick to allow a little dynamic but reduce it.

I don't know about drumagog, but I can tell you I've been approached by another plug in manufacturer to beta test and endorse a new pro tools triggering plug in, can't tell you anything more at this stage but we'll be beta testing in the next week or so.

I donno what's your DAW prog, but try a comp after drumagog plug, might be helpful. In apTrigga it works very well.

Hey, Frank, changed your avatar too I see Follow the leader !

 

[Frank'nfurter]

Yeah. Staying behind a desk all time is boring, hehehe.....

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Don't say that here

Seriously Frank, look at your Private Message, or check out the Strapping Young Lad post, there are questions that are waiting for aswers out there

 

[Frank'nfurter]

UUUhhhhps. Sorry for that. I didn't realized that. Didn't see that: "You have one message". So I answer right here.
Yeah, VO (Founder and mastermind of Poltergeist and GurD) and me produced 'Encounter' in our studio. Main vox is VO, me the backings. It was recordet on a 24trach MCI JH24 and mixdown on a (no kidding) MX8000 Behringer. ( Don't hit me for that)
Mastering on Wavelab 4.

About Sommerbreeze, yeah that was a fucking funny gig. Only half an hour 2 o'clock in the afternoon but after that totaly sunburned. We are also on the Sommerbreeze DVD2002.
I missed Grasspop coz I had a gig at the same time.

I think, tho the mp3 sounds very bad (due to the mp3 compression I mean !), that the guitar sound is huge. Any info on how they were recorded ? The overall sound is really very good, congratulations on this !

It was my first metal festival, and I really really enjoyed it, fantastic bands playing (I'm still shocked by Samael's show), a great "brothership" between the people here, a very good spirit, I mean, I could feel a real fraternity, and we don't have that here in the south of France... =( But I must say that Graspop this year (my second metal festival) was even better !!! Lot of fantastic memories...

Wooops, too bad

Hi Brett

Yeah, mp3 compression sucks. About the guitars: Played 4 times, 2 L/R, 2 half L/R, C-tuning, LesPaul Custom-> Boss Overdive (the old SD1)-> JCM800-> old Marshall Cab.-> SM58 off center speaker 1,5inch distance-> Tape. No compessors in guitar channels!
But VO and me think now, we had something do better with the overall mix, 'cos our todays productions for other bands sounds very much better now. In 2 months we'll starting recording our next GURD-CD. :Spin: :Spin: :Spin:

This time we'll use the Tapemachine only for recording drums, bass and guitars. After that-> each track into the DAW, then record the vocals and solos direct in DAW. Then mastering over TC-Finalizer Plus.

Frank are you in Gurd?, I met you with the Stuck Mojo guys once Im sure

 

[Frank'nfurter]

Yeah, I'm the bass player since 2 years. That Stuck mojo gig with Gurd was before me.

I was talking to one of site admin about it at the pub the other week (it keeps happening) and he said that the site outgrows it's servers every year or so and they're due an update. I'll check up with him to see if they're sorting it.

Only two big names:

Destruction: Metal Discharge
Fear my Thoughts: The Great Collapse

That setting can be found from Advanced tab.
