I need help regarding drums sound designing.
Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2024 9:42 pm
Greetings, I have been trying to replicate the soundtrack of one of my childhood PSP games "Ace Combat X" in order to learn more about music production, but I encountered a small inconvenience.
I made some good progress replicating the synths (I used "Vital") and orchestral instruments (I used "DSK Overture") in the ost, but it seems like the drums that are put into the ost sound way better (fat, full, powerful, punchy and huge) than my drums (they sound weak, quiet, amateur-ish with too much treble).
I have been watching lots of tutorials, but none of them cover what I am trying to design. I am using some drum samples (designed to be used in the hard techno music genre) and a couple plugins that come with LMMS 1.2.2 (calf reverb, calf saturator and an equalizer, tried tweaking them multiple times but I never got the result I wanted), maybe I need entirely new samples to use or just design my own from scratch, I am not sure.
Could anyone tell me some tips/tricks/tools/techniques or anything that I could use to make my drums sound as good? I would really appreciate it. In addition to that I would like to be more aware of the genre this specific soundtrack could be put in, too.
The OST I am trying to recreate is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSaZtqX ... 01&index=3
