AudioDeluxe is having a pretty killer deal on all ToonTracks products right now, so I figured I'd pick up an SDX or two, while I can get them for just over $67 each (less if you buy more than 1).
I already own The Metal Foundry, and Metal Machine (though that's an EZX). My biggest gripe about all of them, is there's a lack of really fat snares. Don't get me wrong, they sound great and cut through a mix really well, but I almost feel like there's too much pop sometimes.
After listening to some demos, the Music City one seems to have the fattest snares, and seems like it'd be pretty nice for music other than metal, as well. The kicks sound kinda wonky, but with some EQ, I feel like I could turn those into some really bitchin sounds. The other two I was looking at were the NY Studios Vol 2 and Custom & Vintage, but they sound pretty similar to the stock Avatar pack, from what I've heard of them.
What are your guy's favorites?
