when will you guys remove the CTRL + Click to audition sound? can we just click it instead without the CTRL key? you guys should UPDATE .. it is almost an obsolete defeated by GGD OKW :(

Great content!😍😍😍

Great review buddy, agree with pretty much everything! I just wanted to point out that you actually have raw samples available on the "drum fader page" below the panner. There's a toggle between P (processed) and UP (unprocessed)! Also I think the reason MIDI map is set up "upside down" is that DAWs like Cubase and Studio One have GM drum map which is that way. I never use piano roll to map drums. Drumforge has been my favourite sampler ever since it came out, though I haven't tried many others out there. :)

You are totally right about the unprocessed samples. Thanks for pointing that out! I don't remember Cubase's map to go upside down like that when I was using Cubase 5 long time ago. They should probably make an option to flip it around.

Bought this, made some minor tweaks on the kick and added some samples from Drumshotz Luke Holland and it is hands down the best metalcore kit you can get that sits in a mix perfectly. Picked up Drumforge for 49$ with a coupon and 5$ for the preset. It’s a no brainer in my opinion.

Hey man thanks so much for the support and the positive feedback! So happy to hear that the preset is working out for you :) Great choice with adding some one shot samples. I wanted to do it for the preset (since I have the Drumshotz mega bundle) but decided against it since not everyone has the Drurmshot samples.

Great mix and drum sounds! Thinking of picking this up and maybe the Savior expansion. I have so many drum samplers but I’m looking for something a bit different. What do you use for your bass tones?

Probably this has been said before but it does have raw samples included.

can you import your own samples easily ?

I have used Cubase for more than 15 years The EQ bandwidth Button , works the same way so i dont have any problem with dat. Actually Value-wise.. look at the SSL console, they are the ones who reverse the control parameter in the first place

@JamesZhan

3 жыл бұрын

The EQ in the mixer clearly resembles an SSL EQ so it doesn’t make sense to not match the Q rotation direction to the actual SSL EQ

what keyboard uses???

There is mic bleed in sd3

If we use kickforge can we improve the kick drum ? Very Good video !

Right know beeing 59$ do you think it's worth it? (im looking for Metalcore-ish, Djenty style and... NOT interested in super raw samples) Im asking because i feel these days the Drum competition it's everywhere.

@JamesZhan

If you are mostly looking for the super polished drum sound, I would go for Drumforge Savior instead. Drumforge Classic is more about versatility than metal imo.

Good job, dude. For the second video will you be going through every drum with each separate mic or not ? as it'll be good to hear each drum with each separate mic even though that may take time with being there being alot of samples as it is haha

Hey Daniel thanks for checking out my video. I didn't plan to go through each separate mic, but now that you mentioned it, I'm going to do that so I can make the video as in-depth as possible! Btw, thank you for the podcast audio you provided me last year. I ended up getting contracted by my university to teach a couple of podcast workshops so the files you gave me really came in handy!

I do completely get most of your points, but if you have listened to Joey, you know he is a BIG advocate of reading the manual.

@JamesZhan

3 жыл бұрын

I know he is, and I disagree with his opinion. From a UX design standpoint, interactive interfaces, like computer programs and smartphone apps, should be intuitive enough to use without the need of reading a manual. Now, some plugin manuals explain the design concept and sonic characteristics of the plugin, and that's helpful information, but the user shouldn't need to read the manual in order to learn how to operate the interface.

@@JamesZhan very good point. I do think that while there is an entertainment aspect to audio work, it is still a specialized trade, and anyone who operates in a trade should know their tools and exactly what they do, and should make an effort to read what the manufacturer says about it. My two cents though. I agree with DF making their products more intuitive though. God bless and have a great day.

Good!!!! Regards. :)

No mic bleed? Am I missing something? Doesn't the individual mic fader for room/OH/top mic/bottom mic for each drum do that trick?

@JamesZhan

Unfortunately there's no full bleed in Drumforge

@outofdinero

3 жыл бұрын

@@JamesZhan you mean the bleed from one shell to the next shell or from say, snare to hi-hat? I agree, but I don't know any sampler that does that. Seems like you have done quite a few GGD videos, but I'm pretty certain you can't achieve that in GGD either. However, you can still adjust the bleed into the OH/room mics individually for each drum.

It could be an newbie question, but: it works with electronic drumkits or only for replacement?

In terms of writing complete original drum tracks from scratch, I think EZ Drummer might be more user-friendly since it has grooves and you get to have a view of the drum kit. I see Drumforge as more of a production tool myself!
