Hello everyone!

I recently saw a lot of producer use tape saturation on their drum bus (in dnb and house tracks) and i found it really adds warmth and glue. So i downloaded toTape 9 and chowtape (i think it is the name?) and tried to do the same but it dosnt sounds good at all!

I just wanted to know how you guys use that effect?

When i use saturn 2 for exemple i can keep it very subbtle and just stack 3 of them with very little drive and it works wonderfully (strangly more than one saturn with more drive), but with these plugins it sound like lacking of high end and too obvious.

I know they are highly praised plugins so i might not understand how to use them

Hello guys!

​

I recently tried to make some dnb (started to make my serum patchs by myself too) and made a track wanting it to be athmospheric but still a bit gritty and jungly

​

It feels a bit wrong i think, like too flat, even if my références have the same kind of wobbly pad like bass. I tried to give it enough harmonics to be heard and soft clipped it to push a bit more the loudness

​

But it still dont feel engaging, what do you think is the problem ? Thank you 🙏

Hello, i am a noob and the thing i love the most in dnb is drums and as i know you guys do some really great work i would love to hear your best advices on drums

Thanks 🙏

Hello !

I hear a lot of tracks online where the drums are the simplest (kick, Closed hats, snare or clap) and still sounds loud as hell with a nice transiant.

I watched a lot of tutorials and read a lot of comments and people always point the same things: satuation, clipping and parralelle comp. But when i try to do that, it ends up less loud, or less punchy with no transiant.

How do you manage to get your drums to sound good and loud?

Thank you, have a pleasent day all
