To get what I think is a pretty heavy drum sound, I actually combine the ns_kit with The Tama Swingstar kit, both of which I got from the doggiebox file library. The reason I blend them is I like the flexibility when programming as far as snares (left hand, right hand, buzzes, etc) and cymbals (sampled at different velocities) in nskit but the Tama kit's samples simply have a *much* bigger rock sound. I did a few demos last weekend. Here's how I use them both: \\ demo 1 - programmed beat with nskit in doggiebox. - export as audio into protools, send down bus 1-2 to slight compressor and slight reverb - recorded other instruments: guitars/bass on 3 new tracks - sent bass out into a russian (green) big muff, back in on new track although "very much fuzzier" - back to doggiebox, saved as tama kit (removed open high hats) exported as audio to new stereo track in protools - opened original nskit, ditched *seriously* cheesy toms, re-exported - imported/replaced audio for original drums - send new drums down bus 3-4 to lo-fi plugin (like distortion, clips out the sound) - send new drums out to RNC1773 set to *extreme* compression (we're talking mountain freaking dew here doooood), back in to new track - build mix, bounce to stereo http://www.fuzzylogical.com/themb/demos/01_demo_01.mp3 \\ demo 2 - programmed beat with nskit in doggiebox. - export as audio into protools, send down bus 1-2 to slight compressor and slight reverb - recorded other instruments: guitars/bass on 4 new tracks - back to doggiebox, saved copy of track, switched kit to Tama, erased all beats but snare export new snare - imported new snare new track send down bus 3-4 to compressor - build mix, bounce to stereo http://www.fuzzylogical.com/themb/demos/02_demo_02.mp3 Hope this is useful Sam. I'm no pro but I had a good time recording this stuff. I'd be interested to hear other people's processes too for perspective. Corey Links/Stuff RNC1773 Really Nice Compressor. Love it. It's the shizz for $199 - http://www.fmraudio.com/RNC1773.HTM Bass & Guitars are all Tech 21 Trademark 10 http://www.tech21nyc.com/ tm10.html Used a Fender Tele Plus from the 90's and a '68 Vox Spitfire direct out over xlr to protools Effects - reissue green Russian EH Big Muff Pi, 80's Boss Super Overdrive SD-1 http://guitargeek.com/gearview/59/ Um that's it. I should get back to work. On Sep 8, 2005, at 6:58 PM, Sam Hansen wrote:
