Superior 2.0 Test (Old Epic-as-hell Song)

I finally got this thing sounding close to what I hear in my head, and I gotta say... I like it more than DFHS! LOVE the snare and toms, kick is replaced 75%, and the cymbals took a load of tweaking (2 splashes, right hand crash, and right hand ride are from DFHS), but I got rid of the washiness and drowned out sound I didn't like from a lot of the clips posted before.

Old version (oooold mix, DFHS):

New version (S2.0):

Neither has bass and neither are really that great but I think 2.0 is a huge improvement over DFHS!

I've posted this song in like two versions on here now, I think... hopefully you guys aren't sick of it yet!

I actually like the way the older version sounds. I like those toms and kick better. They seem to have more depth or something to them, but I just like real deep sounding drums. However, the ride and snare sound alot better on the new version. Both versions still sound great though.
 
Re: Superior 2.0 Test (Old Epic-as-hell Song)

I prefer the new version.
The toms are more articulate like i like.
it sounds tigher and more like a technical drumer.
The bassdrum is not my taste ,but it fits well!
The Cymbals sound not bad...Bu i don't like the compression on them
 
Re: Superior 2.0 Test (Old Epic-as-hell Song)

I always find that programmed drums sound the least convincing for metal, as the quick flurries seem to sound too perfectly quantized. I really liked the guitar work, and the tone was also good. I have really liked what I've heard from Superior 2.0 in general though.

I thought the cymbals sounded strange in the second version, but the snare was better; thicker sounding, without being overpowering.

Love the guitar tone.
 
Re: Superior 2.0 Test (Old Epic-as-hell Song)

Like the first one more. The second sounds very processed and fake, and lots of clicking sound. I vote Addictive Drums always but DFHS is sure the winner here.

It's pretty "meh."

Everything you post is meh.

You should just change your name to "meh."
 
Re: Superior 2.0 Test (Old Epic-as-hell Song)

I need to work on adding depth to the snare/toms a bit and the kick was just my usual sample/processing. I'm still torn on OH's, as the old one does fit a bit better, cymbal wise. I'm not sure if that means Superior 2.0 isn't as good for metal or if I need to play with it more, but I'm starting to lean towards the first choice.

Acoustic drums, though, no contest, goes to S2.0 I still say. I'm going to do another bounce today of DFHS cymbals with the acoustic kit from S2.0.

The clicking is just the attack on the snare/toms/kick - it's desirable and adds clarity I'd normally loose at those speeds.

Addictive Drums has to have the worst sounding cymbals I've heard in a drum program, in all honesty. The OH's are always pumping and sound way washed out, regardless of how real the performance sounds.

Hey, did you know that typing in blue means the opposite of what you state?

So, actually, your stuff is totally and completely radtastically rad.

i listened to some of the second, but by the time I went to the first, the bandwidth was exceeded. now I can't hear either one.

second sounded cool to me, what I heard. panning sounded a bit odd with the ride - majority is on the right, then a little jingle bell comes in on the left. maybe the jingly thing I'm hearing isn't a ride? I typically pan stuff like I'd hear it if I were behind a drum kit (with the bell and the normal ride on the right somewhere), but that's just how I do it. I think some people do it as if they were standing in front of a kit, and a third group pans drums all over the place to make it sound interesting.

Bummer about the bandwidth... I'll have to find a hosting service other than google!

I do pan drummers perspective, with the bell of the ride on the right - the 'jingly' thing you hear on the left side is a second ride ;).

I'll try it again when I'm back home with my cans. Dang, two rides - that's tight.
