HiDERA | 06 January 2025 | 253 MB

Wondering how to get that big studio rock sound with a meager setup? Well, mixing wiz Alberto has a mixing rock video course designed just for you! In this mixing course, you’ll learn many techniques and tips for getting great sounds out of less-than-perfect-sounding tracks, all of which can be applied in numerous scenarios, regardless of genre. By the end of this mixing rock course, you’ll be raring to go and tackle that tricky mix that you thought was a lost cause. These videos are designed for intermediate-level mix engineers. Alberto begins by discussing what he’s going to be covering in the course, so you’ll know exactly what you can expect. Then it’s on to drums, where you’ll learn how to create a killer-sounding drum foundation by enhancing the sounds and/or triggering/layering samples while still retaining a human feel. Guitars and bass follow, and Alberto takes you all the way from raw DI tracks to phenomenal-sounding full tones using a few surprises along the way. Next, you’ll explore the idea of setting up a virtual analog console, which is an excellent workflow in this style, as it can provide some useful limitations and add an interesting sonic character to the proceedings. The rest of the course will continue to cover other important topics, such as the mix bus (adding processing to help glue the tracks, etc.), parallel compression on the drums (for added energy and vibe), and vocals (providing space and clarity among the instrumental track).

When it comes to heavy rock, nothing is as fundamental as an unwavering wall of hard-hitting drums steamrolling like a freight train at the forefront of the mix. If you’re looking for stalwart-type sounds that you can trust to hold down the rhythm section in any mix scenario of that kind you may find yourself in, this is an EZX for you. Recorded by acclaimed mixer/engineer/producer Jay Ruston (Stone Sour, Anthrax, The Donnas) and sampled by drummer Jeff Friedl (A Perfect Circle, Devo, Filter), this expansion for EZdrummer 3 and Superior Drummer 3 combines two rock heavyweights and delivers exactly what its title promises: drums specifically tailored for heavy rock productions. In total, it includes four unique kits, one extra recorded kit configuration as well as several additional snares – all handpicked to ensure a width of tones that ranges from the rich, dark and boomy to the ringy, tight and snappy. To add, the kits were captured at a private high-end studio in the Los Angeles area boasting a massive-sounding but still not overpowering room, making it the perfect choice for loud rock drums that sound thunderously big but not drowned out by excessive ambience.
