Title: 3 tracks from my band using the 2box kit (Metal genre)
Post by: buntstudios on October 02, 2013, 06:15:58 PM
Hey all,

I recently recorded 10 songs for my bands album and I recorded all the drums with the 2box kit. You can check out 3 songs here:

Drums sound great. Tunes are cool too. Not really a fan of the vocal style though....but over all...great job. Curious to know what samples you used too. :)

Hey all,

Thanks for the feedback! I'm hoping to have the album out in January. I'll be sure to post a link. We are trying to get it on Itunes etc.

The drum samples used were a mix of a bunch of stuff that I spent MANY hours on. The toms and kick are from the DB Samples collection and Invictus samples that can be found with a quick search on google. They are really cheap to buy and definitely worth it! I used adobe media encoder to convert the files to .wav 44.1 and then used dsoundtool to turn them into something that 2box could understand. The snare is a kit sound and so are a few of the cymbals. I believe the China/spash or whatever it's called was a random sample I found on line that I've added to my drum samples collection over the years.

I recorded 8 channels out into protools using the ADAT connections on the back of the digi02 rack.

Can't remember exactly how I set it up, but it was something like this:
Kick to 1
Snare to 2
Toms to 3 and 4
Hihat/ride to 5
crash to 6
crash 2 to 7
china to 8


We would love to play a show in Greece! 4/5 members are greek hahah so there's a very good chance that may happen in the future!

Thanks for the feedback again!

Appreciate the invite and thanks for the kind words!

For live shows I give the sound guy a stereo out of the kit or if he wants more I give him snare and kick as 1 and 2 and then the rest of the kit as 3 and 4.

Good luck with your pc!
