^ chack out the in flams & arch enemy audio demos

 

[LeSedna]

I really don't like the sound from this video, the snare is horrible and the kick is even worse, the cymbals sound weird to me.

 

[guitarguru777]

Yup .... you eating your words yet Jay .... LOL

Seriously those sound like dog dick. The cymbals are hella phasey, the toms are lifeless, the kick sounds like a beach ball and OMG flamming is horrible. Typical AD shit .... Then again they could have based this on St Anger then its usable other then the snare

FYI the audio demos on the site arent much better

The did some remixes using the pack and the cymbals sound total shit. I hate the fucking kick. Some of the toms seem usable and the snare is mediocre at best.

Like I said in the other thread about this, company demos never sound as good as what you can actually do with the product.

Thank's for pointing that out. I think my dropbox is pointing to a different file than I intended with a different AD kit. My apologies.

So far, I'm not liking the new AD Metal pack in my mixes, but I'm working on tweaking it to make it work, but I'm not sure it's worth it. I'm really not a fan of the snare at all. I had high hopes for the kick, but so far I'm getting let down. I really do like the grooves though. Too bad.

 

[drew_drummer]

The grooves sound very good from what I'm hearing from demos and such.

Usually these multi-sampled drums actually sound MUCH better when played through an e-kit, those videos' drums don't sound too good, I hate to hear them when it's just a straight programmed midi file.

I'll wait until some user demo's though until judging.

Anybody tried this out yet?

 

[22km Tombstone]

I just got this, and I like it a lot. It fits my style pretty well. I really like both the kick and snare. The cymbals are great, too.
I can't say I won't blend with other samples in the future, but so far I'm just messing around with it and I like it. It fits better into the mixes I have going on than the original AD kits I'd tweaked to sound metal.

Once it's cracked, you'll see a lot of mixes in the Rate my mix/tone threads using the recently bought metal adpak
