Hi everyone,

I´ve been studying a little about something called Parallel compression so I recorded a groove
and later on applied what I learned. Basically, what I did was mix my kit dry (no compression)
with a compressed version of it. Some of what you´ll hear is my snare, the rest
has been blended (never 100% though) with samples. I think I´m getting the hang of it because it sounds
way more natural from my previous attempts. Anyway, you guys be the judge.

Sounds good, though I hear an odd double hit or flam on the kick, particularly noticeably in the 2nd clip?

You´re right, someone mentioned that too me earlier on. I have no idea what happened. I started mixing and editing this stuff late at night so weird things
can happen, but will definitely look into it. I´m glad to hear a positive response. My main goal was to make it sound natural, be it sampled or not.

best regards

It's sounding really good! Anything with toms??

Ha !! Thank you. This is a poor man´s studio. I´m still short on mics and most importantly, I´m still trying to get them to sound good.
But yes, I´ll have a clip of that too in no time

Oh the wonderful world of getting drum sounds....

Keep us updated, you're getting some great sounds as it is.

I managed to record something new today. I´m still working on the sounds (also,I think I could´ve kept better time) but here it is anyway:
