Far Amb FX is the same as Far Amb (and Mid Amb FX is the same as Mid Amb) but with the difference that the one with FX is processed through a compressor.
This is common use on ambience mics, and in this case you have both so you can blend it, creating kind of a parallell compression if you want to for example.

I can answer from all the presets except the Rammelt/Soderstrom presets.

Narwhal – Drug Driven
Narwhal – Wash Me Away
Hughes / Thrall – Still The Night

Mixed by Pat Thrall in Pro Tools, without using the internal FX of S2.0

Grande Luxe – Broken –
Grande Luxe – the song played on the Allaire kit (In To The Void)

Mixed by Mattias Eklund in Pro Tools, without using any of the internal FX in S2.0

Shep – Leave It To Me
Shep – Waiting For The Rain

Mixed by Henrik Kjellberg & Stefan Bränberg in Pro Tools without using any of the built in FX of S2.0

Thefacersweden – Karma

Mixed by Henrik Oja in Logic without using any of the built in FX of Superior 2.0

The four executions of Nir-z (ballad, funk, heavy rock, rock)

These are taken from the presets that come with Superior 2.0

The Metal Foundry has a Tama Imperialstar kit with ten toms ranging from 6″ – 20″. That kit is inspired by Peter Criss and the 70’s Kiss sound.

MetalHeads is a soundlibrary for EZDrummer, a so called EZX (EZDrummer Expansion), this sound library contains drumsounds that Daniel have mixed. And also midi FIles (drum grooves) played by Tomas Haake from Meshuggah. You must have EZDrummer to purchase this product.

Metal EZmix is a expansion package for our product line EZmix, it contains presets mixed by Daniel using the softwares (EQ, Compressor, Reverb, Distortion and so on) included in EZmix, this is to be used in a DAW such as Cubase, Logic, Garageband, Pro Tools or similar on instruments such as Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Drums and so on that you or someone else have played, this doesnt contain any sounds, only presets.

So to compare the two isnt really easy…

The slideshow has now been replaced with the pictures that was supposed to be there from the beginning, you have to speculate what the other pictures was for 🙂

The Parallel presets is doing the parallel compression within the ezmix plugin

This is the answer from Allen Morgan:

EZmix was used throughout the mixing process to get these sounds….both on individual channels and the two buss. It’s important for each individual end user to know that great sound begins at the source…meaning when it is recorded. Sure you can fix things “in the mix” but ultimately it comes down to how good the quality of the signal being recorded is and how is performing it. End users need to realize that the use of this plugin and these presets are a great starting point and the “genius” part of it comes to how they use it in their own individual projects. I literally have been using this plugin on every project since you guys gave it to me. Now I will admit I use the producers interface quite a bit to come up with my own presets but its killer nonetheless. This has definitely sped up my work flow.

I checked the original Pro Tools file where this is mixed, and I couldnt find any strange settings or anything like that..
Except for, in my session, the Ambience channels are routed to Output 3/4, is that how it is for you as well?
If so, reroute them to 1/2 again, and it should be the sound from the demo. Try this and let us know.

The midi is different to, since the midi used in the song is soundreplaced from real drums, and is not in the product.
