  • How to programme epic percussion. Join Guy Michelmore as he pouts a brand new epic percussion sample library through its paces. Damage 2 from Heavyocity is a much anticipated percussion library but in this sample library review, does it live up to the hype? I'm not paid to review or promote this software. I get a review copy and I only review software I like.

    I've been in a musical rut for a while now and now I finally found my source of inspiration: now, before every session, I watch you composing for about 15 minutes. Your joy and excitement is truly contagious! Plus, I bought me some "biscuits of inspiration" today. That should improve it even more! Thanks for your content, Guy! This is my favourite music-related channel.

    It's fantastic software. Especially for pros on deadlines. The only downside being that the second you hear it, you know it's Damage and I'm sure 2 will become as ubiquitous as 1 (Typing this as I'm watching and Guy has just said the same thing) So my above is slightly mute now! 😌

    Can you make these drums completely dry of reverb? I'm asking coz I'm doing another genre and used to setting more broad (needs to be high Q) reverb groups to instruments to get the same-room feel. Otherwise it gets too chaotic. These drums here feel in another space... separated. Is this actually a problem for professionals (I am not one)? Do they have close mic recordings is what I mean I guess...

    @cantuignis3361 3 роки тому

    Hi Guy, I'm trying to decide on a percussion library, and I'm sort of leaning toward either the Native Instruments Symphony Series, or Damage 2, as I'd be able to use both with the free Kontakt player, and I can currently get them for the same price. I'm torn because I'm interested in the organic sound and articulations like tremelos and crescendo rolls I'd get with Symphony Series, but the dramatic stuff, plus things like the reverse cymbal options in Damage 2 are also really appealing. I'm curious if the stuff in Damage 2 can accomplish more or less the same thing (albeit more dramatically) as in the Symphony Series, or if they'd just be entirely different altogether. I'm just starting out with programming this kind of stuff, and I can only afford one of them so it's a tough choice to make.

    • @timolebeck6405
