Hey guys. This is awesome. I have finally upgraded my drums from EZDrummer DFH. I now I have the Metal Foundry SDX kit. I have so much more freedom to tweak this thing. I have a sample from Falling Winter (which I am remixing and putting out again once I get these new drums on it) - The grooves here are from the song. I have just been messing around with the sound and balances. What do you think? I think the cymbals are having issues here.

That's nice Brandon ! Huge improvement.

I would lower cymbals and bring snare up a bit but very hard to say without guitars and bass in the mix. Very often people tend compress cymbals down but I like to hear them. Each on his own, I guess smile.gif

I uploaded a sample from my recent project.

I think something is causing clipping in your track. You see those big lines on your track ? You should try to balance sounds more.

Yeah, I see what you mean. The lines are coming above the mix in this one too. Gotta fix this somehow. Must be a compressor because if I pull the snare down it disappears.

I feel the same about compressing overheads. Very but veeeery ocasionally I use paralell compression but usually I leave them alone since they get "cought" by the mastering compression anyway. I'm not shure If I like the feeling when the sustain is more powerfull then the hit moment, and that's what happens in many rock/metal productions. So...I just leave the cymbals dry to have less "pomped out" feeling after mastering.

Once again there is a sale when I have worst possible budget condition :/ A few days back we had Waves sale...even API2500 was for less than half of the price :/ Those are one expensive as hell but I tried a few like API2500, C4 multiband comp or X-click. Great and ultra usefull plugi-ins but the regular prices...high as hell

Superior Drummer Rocks! smile.gif

I'm by far no expert on metal drums sound, here are my impressions from your sample :

* Snare sounds a bit boxy and lacks punch and power
* Cymbals do sound kinda weird and like they have some overall frequency coloring going on (a bit nasal sounding), do you have something turned on on your mastering channel?
