I listened to the full production samples and the song “Agent Baxter” if I purchase this SDX will I get that specific preset with it? Love the sound of that particular kit and I’m sure there was processing done to have it sound that way. Thanks!

Copy paste from ya other thread:

I have always assumed all the demos would use the presets included, but never bothered to check if I’m being the “ass” in that situation…

There is indeed a preset called Baxter for the Live room, and it indeed does sound like it’s the kit preset used in that track.  But to my amatuer ear it sounds like it had some added compression and perhaps eq/other mild fx for the “full production”.

 

Cheers.

Thanks Shen, I was hoping the developer would chime in and offer his actual preset that he used. I did buy Fields of Rock and checked out the “Baxter” preset, but it is quite different from the “Agent Baxter” sample.

Sorry man.  I should have thought to provide a sound clip for you to check out.

I still find it to be pretty close and most likely at least the starting point for that song/production.  The kit pieces sound right.  What about it sounds different to you?

I found adding Black Box by Analogue Designs (saturator I think) brings out the high’s of the cymbals a bit and some Shadow Hills Mastering Comp on the drum buss helps it get a bit closer.  Both those are pretty popular on drums afaik.  And the 22″ kick has more low end like the song.

 

Sorry I didn’t/can’t help more.  Well I can try…

Probably the difference you’re hearing is that of a mastered track, ie the preset running through a mastering chain along with all the other tracks. That won’t sound the same as simply loading the preset
