Superior Drummer

[Klosure]

Is it me or are the default drums in Superior Drummer 2 crap? (Avatar drums)

 

[updog]

It's you.

 

[Klosure]

Starting to see how helpful people are round here, obviously you lot be doing this for too long!

 

[updog]

Take another look at your message. You're saying a product that's being used by hundreds of people around here, is crap. You never said what specifically sounds crap about it, you just said it sounds crap. A stupid question gets a stupid answer.

 

[egan.]

Sorry it isn't the answer you want but I have to agree, it's you. If the expectation is that they are going to slide right into your mix and be perfect w/o any effort I think you are misunderstanding the goal of the product.

 

[The Unavoidable]

Hah, ask a dumb fucking pointless question and get a etc etc

 

[SimonSez]

The drums themselves don't sound like crap but the presets aren't that great. With proper processing they can sound as good as anything else.

 

[Klosure]

We are talking about the NY kit here right, my question isn't trying to be dumb its just that I cannot get it to sound half decent, specially the kick lacks any low end dont you think?

 

[crillemannen]

It takes a skill engineer to make them sound great. But even the preset sounds good. The toms are probably the best sounding samples available , not to mention the Ambience microphones.

Then add some

[Klosure]

ive actually done something dumb anyhow I think its not installed correctly..

 

[Klosure]

geez what sort of attitude should I have?

Yes I can mix and coming here was never necessary

Kicks blow, everything else rules IMO

 

[Zack Uidl]

kicks totally blow for metal....but i am normally the guy that 90%-100% replaces the kick anyway

 

[drew_drummer]

For me it was the snares; kicks are quite usable. Snares are not too good, imo.

 

[Metaltastic]

The snares (especially NirZ) are some of the best I've ever heard in my life tbh, you just need to adjust the envelope control and get some slow-attack compression on there to kill the ring, pop-city

 

[updog]

I like the snares a lot too, but I've recently been stacking them with a sample or two. I replace the kicks.

The toms are great too. Mostly I just find myself needing more or better cymbals, but I'm thinking of buying MF to fix that. And SSD EX helps for now.
