Toontrack Metal Month 2013 - Trailer

For the record, that sneap asscrack pic was taken as a joke, because suecof didn't join the rest of the Audiohammer crew in umea Sweden this past week/weekend. Obviously a joke, schedule conflict due to work etc....


I can promise you will all probably thoroughly enjoy the metal! Expansion... Trust me :) if sound clips aren't up now, they will be soon :)
 
I think the sneap ezmix thing could be interesting to see how he goes about fx and eq, having the ability to hearing it soloed...
still curious to see he did that kind of thing though, with the preset wars and all

Samples sound nice, will buy this stuff. Too bad SD doesn't show the fancy backgrounds. I like fancy backgrounds.
 
mark lewis's kits sound worth the price alone. less enthusiastic about the other sounds but very pleased to see its an entirely new product.
+1

The Mark Lewis kits are fantastic! Jason Suecof kits sound kinda tiny in the mix and the Daniel Bergstrand kits sound like he didn't even bother. His Metalheads EZX sounds better than his kits on this.
 
That's quite expensive for just one good kit.

EDIT:
Looking at the details it's not clear how many kit pieces and kits are in there...

I watched the video and it sounded like Daniel recorded 2 kits and they were just mixed differently. I could be wrong tho.

I wouldn't mind the Mark Lewis kit, the others I'll stick with my Sneap expansion.

Came on! Let´s respect the work of these people!
Daniel -Allround Kit (Port Noir) demo sounds great!
It sounds darker than others, but more suitable for stoner metal
and I think It's fine if you're looking for this kind of sound... (the Ocean, Ufomammut, Kyuss,,,).

I meant no disrespect to Daniel but I was expecting a lot more "METAL" kits from him e.g. Soilwork, In Flames etc. It's disappointing to get a bunch of average sounding kits when the title of the expansion is METAL!.

Like I said, the Metalheads EZX (which I'm not a big fan of) is also a darker sounding EZX and sounds better than his kits in this new EZX.

EDIT: I just checked that he's worked with Behemoth and Evergrey, shit I would've liked some kits like that!
 
haha, i can so clearly hear how these are just the same old samples being remixed. i might still buy it on an audiodeluxe sale but 69€!? seriously? NOPE!
