So i thought i would no longer have to use my compression in pro tools for tight and punchy kicks but it seems i have to go back to doing that. I would have much preferred to just get the drum mix done in S3 with its internal plug-ins but those plug-ins are just not pro sounding enough.
Does anybody notice that once again in S3 like in S2, the buil-in dynmics plug-ins just dont have that tight and punchy impact that other plug-ins in the daw have? I cannot get the same punch out of any compressor or transient designer. The compressors sound whey too spongy on the dynamics and the transient designer is too thin sounding. dont even know what the point was for TT to include those plug-ins when it just doesnt give you that impact from a pro studio. I assume that using the built-in plug-ins are just for demo purposes.
With that being said if i need to use the built in EQs which i do like then I will be forced to use in the Daw Compression after EQ which is not exactly ideal.
Does anyone know how to get the built-in plugins to sound better? I love the drum sounds but the dynamics simply do not come close to the SSL compressor plug-in i use from UAD or BX and i dont understand what the point is in using it.
ive tried the presets in Death and Darkness but still no cigar.
You just won’t get those types of Impactful yet tight kicks like from Lamb of God or some of the Deftones records. At least I havent been able to.
