What about room mics? That's what I love about Drumgizmo.. Rooms mics really glues and adds size to the drums IMO.
Every drum mixing vid talks about how important the room is. Yes we can say that's their opinion but from using kits without rooms and kits with, I personally get a better mix with rooms. Even with real drums as my drummer sent me tracks once without room track and we couldn't figure why the drums were missing something in the sound.
He then asked what tracks I had and he said, wait, where is the room? I said never received.
After sending it and adding to song, the difference were night and day. I guess because we play hard rock/metal the room is important for that big room sound IMO.
Please don't take this wrong, AVL kits sound amazing. Would love to have kits for Drumgizmo with bleed and with room.. Especially the Led Zep kit.
I know some would say feed the entire kit to a bus and add room verb but it's not easy making close mic'd drums sound real in a fake room. Trust me I've tried and got fed up even after watching many vids on utube. The ones that really work are the ones where some engineer is sponsoring a plugin that's made to do that. Don't know if we have that on Linux. But like I've said, these kits are amazing.
Shameless request for Drumgizmo kits Glen
