I helped a friend make a demo song for an upcoming album he’d like to do. This song is called Flames of Rebellion

Thats some heavy shit. Kind of reminds me of Slayer in some way, Was that your friend singing? What parts did you do?
Yeah he’s singing and playing guitar. I did the rest (drums are programmed here) and mixed it.
Cool. It sure did not sound like your voice at all. Tell him he rocks!
Nice job on the drums and mix. What did you use for the drums?
It’s actually a free software called MTpowerdrumkit 2. It’s my first time using it, and I am pretty happy with the results. I captured a couple snare hits and used them as samples to augment the included snare sound, but I could’ve worked with what’s in the software as well.
A lot of this drum sound comes from parallel compressing the drum shells, and saturation on the “room mics” I created using a plugin from Universal Audio, called Ocean Way Studios (I absolutely LOVE that plugin!) but I’m quite impressed with how those drums sound, especially for free software.
