  • @cleverdood
    @cleverdood 2 месяца назад

    Did you guys do any processing on the playing examples? Sounds like you’ve used a transient shaper to expand the initial transient, and they sound extremely compressed. The cymbals sound pretty good, the drums sound really bad for a 13k (here in Canada) set. EDIT: These definitely sound better than what this vid portrays. Sorry...I listened through my studio speakers and watched 5 other vids, the one from Long and McQuade sounds much better so I'm guessing the sensitivity, compression or processing is making these playing examples sound machine-gun-ish.

      2. "not as good" how? For what purpose? "Not as good" for being in a room and hearing acoustic drums? OK...sure.
      But how about for recording? If I use software like BFD or Superior triggered by an ekit, they most certainly sound and play every bit as good as a recorded drumset. Better even, and here's why.
      With my ekit and software I get to play thousands of drums recorded in some of the greatest rooms in history (AIR London, Sound City LA, etc) with some of the greatest mics in history, on the greatest recording consoles in history, (Neves) by some of the greatest recording engineers in history (Andy Johns, Joe Berresi, Jim Scott). Hell, I even get to play Bonham's, Ringo's, Chad Smith's, Steve Ferrone's etc, actual kits.
      Now tell me, how are you, in your house, ever going to get as good a recorded sound even with your fancy Sonor Kit (I've got about 6 different sonor options by the way) as I can get with my software? Answer: Never.

So I will wait until Roland actually make one that you can actually use professionally. At the mo this sounds no better than my TD27. I downloaded the great DW sounds months ago then deleted them as they were no better than the TD27, just different. You only need 1 really good allround studio sounding kit, most of the kits don't actually sound that good and still need lots of tweaking.

      The kits sound fantastic in person.

      @@leedurham8625 Look at an acoustic snare and the back of the module, there you will see that your 6 toms share 1 left and right output, same with your cymbals. I will call that shared.

      @@grumpy8413 I own lots of acoustic snares.. I also don't have six toms and they're not shared. In fact, nothing says shared on the back of my module the td50x

      @@leedurham8625 Sorry I put 6 toms instead of 6 cymbals, no matter they share 2 channels as the 50X does not have individual outputs for toms and cymbals. The back of a 50X does not have separate outs for the toms if you have 4 toms they come out of the left and right output for toms, that is 4 toms sharing those 2 channels. I am guessing you are American. Put your acoustic snare next to the Roland and see if the acoustic one has a big black plastic ring at the bottom. Spot the difference.
