So I just bought a Roland TDS6 vDrumkit & DKFH Superior : MP3 & Pic + A Question

Specs:

p4 3.2 ghz, 2gb ddr sdram.
cakewalk sonar 5 producer - asio
DKFH Superior 1.5
SB Live Audigy 2

Roland TD6S + Extra Tom:

I finally got it all hooked up, and running properly with the software and sonar. It sounds GREAT! It runs perfectly with no latency (none noticable at least) using the DKFH Superior samples. I've only messed with it within the last hour, I tried bleeding all mics, it worked for awhile and then the program started acting goofy.. but without bleeding 'em all its perfectly fine.

I recorded a small sample on top of a guitar/bass track I did awhile ago just to show the realism: The MP3 I purposely emphasized the drums (made them louder) to show the realism and the rawness.

Now here's my question, I want to learn how to master / mix them to get them sounding like the samples on the toontrack site. I'm new to all of this, so I'm starting from ground zero.

How did you learn, how do you recommend I learn, and what software do you prefer using for mastering?

Thanks!
 
Yes, same here. How about just a drums only sample? Is Sonar an easy program to use? I am searching for an easy as hell program to use to record my v drums and other instruments without having to spend 10hrs trying to activate the inputs.

Click to expand...

well I just woke up ;) I'll record a drums only sample in a bit.

I'm new to pretty much everything, Sonar included... but so far Sonar doesn't seem too complex, I've done what I've needed to do - just takes a little time messing around with stuff.

but here's how I see it, it's worth spending those measily 10 hours learning a powerful program than using a weak unflexible piece of software. just gotta tough it out initially and you'll eventually figure everything out. my icq is: 153785636 and my AIM is "dreamache". if you need any help lemme know. ;)
