I suggest to use a compressor on the last link to give it a less body and get it sounding on the about same volume. After EQ you can either go to transient or compressor or anything.
I can't really go in details, but a good way to start of is almost always to EQ. There's a million ways you could set it up. So now that you've got the overall image they way you like it you can get more deeper to the details. Overheads could use some EQ too, but I'll get back to that later! Work on the "OH" track now, mess with the parameters, you WILL get used to it. I'm not going to give you any more hints on that. Add a transient and a compressor to the "OH" track. Open up the "Mixer" tab on your Superior Drummer VST window. They are placed on top of the drum set and capture mostly the snare and the cymbals. What to do when the drums are dry? You work on the overheads! Overheads are the mics that mic the overall sound of the set. The clip sounds really dry as you can hear. I'll get later to "multiout" and more complex ways to edit the drums, but IMO it's better to start off with the basics. The tips are all inside the user interface of SD2.0 so the chances are limited. I'll be giving you some tips to get the sounding like you want it. They are most of the times kept on 127 when dealing with Superior Drummer, though for example I keep my snare on 120-125 to remove that *clunch* from it. Now before you start thinking, "why doesn't my Metal Foundry sounding the same", the first thing you should check out is the MIDI velocities. I made a little clip with the default setting so you have something to compare at: Clip 1.0.mp3 Anyway, It's an old one so there are some details that doesn't sound good, but still gives you a picture: Kurkkuviipale - TMB6 - SoundCloud It should give you a picture of what will it sound like in the mix. Here's a song we did with our band a while ago. It's really just a matter of patience and testing. Cymbals are Sabian HHX Stage set and as ride I use Morgan Ågren Custom Ride and AAXtreme China.Īll the drums behave differently when you apply plugins on them, but the thing to remember is that all the samples in SD2.0 are good enough to get the job done and you will surely find the best drumsound to your taste. Toms and kick are Tomas Haake Custom SQ2 toms, snare is Sonor Artist Series 6''x14''. First of all I'll be using The Metal Foundry default kit. I'll be working on this guide as objective as I can so that peoples drums don't start to sound like mine do. In this guide I and hopefully many others will give their knowledge and experience to all less and more experienced SD2.0 users. This is an overall guide to use Superior Drummer 2.0.
