Tape VS Digital, #2! DRUMS!

[RevoltStudios]

Alright, I'm experimenting with certain elements hitting tape. Here's real drums from the song used on the last thread. It's a much more suttle sound but oh so sweet. Notice how round the kick and snare is.

They are the same volume by the way, according to the meters.

There seems to be a lot of strange artifacts going on in these clips, even in the 'digital' one.

BUT, first thing I thought of when hearing your original clips, is that VirSyn's VTape comes VERY close to this type of sound, at least in the way it smooths over the transients on Kick and SNR.

Love that plug! =D

Oh, and the snare sounds odd. I can't put my finger on it... almost like the stereo image is skewed..
