I searched for which topic this should be under. The reason I am posting in this topic is I have a feeling people who are talking about this topic, are going to be able to answer this. Where as I can't put it in a drum forum or you run into 100 different drum ways of doing things which I'm not interested in. It's about recording, witch using superior drummer.
Here is my question, I want from experience, no guesses: When I don't feel like programming drums, or if I need help in putting a song together I use the grooves & fills in superior drummer WITH the metal foundry expansion pack. Now this allows for a TON of possibilities. For those who don't know, it allows you to drag the groove into pro tools/Logic and manipulate it and make it at the same BPM as the rest of the song. IE: You hear a fast drum beat you like but it's too fast for your song, once brought into the DAW set at the slower BPM it sounds completely natural.
I want to expand more. I want even more grooves, because I don't just play heavy metal. I play a lot of stuff. Superior drummer gives you very few grooves but the expansion packs, like the metal foundry give you a ton of grooves. Pretty much every drum beat you've ever heard in heavy metal music.
Now I am interested in getting grooves that aren't about just metal, but aren't about slow, country, keeping the backbone only grooves either.
These expansion packs are not cheap. They cost money, therefore I do not want to just spend money on whatever and see if it works. That is what this forum is for.
Tell me what expansion packs you have, what genre you are playing, if it comes with a bunch of different useful grooves, fills, intro fills, etc.
For example, the metal foundry, allows you to write any song you want on guitar, bass, vocals, and if you feel like "I wish we had kinda an epic drum fill right there, or I wish we had a good intro drum beat going on.' The metal foundry will have that, and it will fit to your bpm, THUS providing exactly what you would want if you're writing a metal song.
But lets say I'm not writing a metal song. Where would I find the expansion pack that has a vast array of different situations included in it? I know each pack includes different drum kits and different drums also, which helps.
It looks like the new york sessions may have a lot of stuff going on, but I've never tried it, nor seen anyone else try it.
Please give me your input on the expansion that is useful for being able to rock out, go to slow parts of songs, have intro fills, chorus fills. etc etc. Without it being double bass, blast beat type stuff, like in the metal world.
I want to use the metal foundry grooves in combination with these other grooves. An example of a band like that, Coheed & Cambria. They have these different grooves going on. Of course they have a real drummer.
I also have a real drummer but that real drummer will not learn the song if I don't write it first. I need these tools to be able to write the song.
If I'm going to spend money, which one do I spend it on? No guesses. Someone who has bought at least 2 of these superior drummer expansion packs. NO arguments about how some other drum program is somehow superior. They are simply tools.
