Description
MixWave is killing it with their recent releases of drum sample libraries! I was so stoked when I heard of their Aaron Gillespie - Underoath drum sample library. Playing around a while, I knew: This thing rips!! It's not a huge setup, but the tones are remarkable.
I didn't like the built-in processing too much - so I deactivated it and used the raw tones to craft my own drum mix - which I am really happy with! I created a Multi-Out routing but and I used the built-in plugins of Kontakt 7 to bring out the best of these drums. Now this kit works for everything from rock or post-rock, pop punk to hardcore, metalcore and genres alike.
You can use a real bass guitar or VSTi bass in this template. The processing is done with the free TSE BOD 3.00 plugin and the Growler amp sim. I prepared the tracks so that you can instantly start recording your bass or write the bass midi.
The guitar sounds are created with the Neural DSP: Archetype Nolly amp simulation. But instead of using the built-in cabs amd IRs, you will get 2 Mix-Ready custom IRs that work extremely well with the Nolly amp sim. I used the free STL NadIR plugin to load these IRs.
Speed up your workflow with this Mix-Ready songwriting template!
