yeah just got that email its only 9 dollars but i listened on their website, and all the presets sounds the same to me. No offense, but i dont really like them that much, at least not for metal.
I checked them out when I got the email. The metal kit sounded reasonably cool, but there wasn't a great deal of variety amongst the rock kits. And none of the presets blew me away. As they're so cheap, I might be temped to buy them to see how they've gone about achieving the sounds they did. Could be interesting from a learning point of view.
to get superior to sound great, send the kicks, snare, and toms and cymbals to their own busses and compress heavily and add transients. then eq them. It makes it punchy.
Fixed. Honestly though, My kits are broken up this way (and include a separate bus for the ride and room mic as well) then they come down to four subs on the return side.
