Right.. have not read anything about this one on this forum yet...
Anyone have any cool tips for drums to add punch to them? get them more alive? making the kick and snare hits feel like punches on your chest?
Post them in this one!! so we can all just benefit from it, and learn shit..
I myself really am happy with DFHS.. but i just can't seem to get things right on it.. blastbeats are simply really hard to pull of right... the snare hits are pretty weak in my opinion.. even with much compression, EQ'ing, sampling, etc.. i just can't get that damn thing to sound like most modern metal records sounds like. really a weak spot there..
Also, has everyone tried the samples Andy put up? man, those kick samples are really good! get those if you don't have em yet...
Another trick i can't seem to get my head is copying your drum track to a different track and add compression to that to fatten up the sounds.. hear about it, but have no clue what kind of compressor should do trick.. let alone settings...
Another one.. is adding a extra bus and put compression on that one, so you can link them to your snare, kick, toms.. whatever.. i tried that as well, but just got a weird distorted sound on the things i compressed through that compressed bus track?...
Really, there is so much to learn.. and i know a lot of us would like to exchange tricks and tips.. i will look into it and see if i can find anything to share after i tried it and if it's succesfull...
In the mean time.. have a look at this one:

Pretty interesting for those who use DFHS or another software drum sample program! shows a lot of tricks for death metal
