markhansavon Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hello there, I'm looking to get a really compressed alternative-like drum sound like the opening for the .Hack//Dusk anime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCB8jl9YH6Q I know how much the people around here like to help out and give advice. I guess the joke about "alternative" rock, is that it's not really the alternative but what's widely used.... x_x Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

AngelCityOutlaw Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Good god, that song is horrible (in my opinion). Anyway, I'm not really sure what you mean to be honest. My first instinct was, "if you want "compressed"....just use a compressor." The drums in that tune sound pretty average to me. I also don't think alt-rock has a particular drum sound. It just means "alternative rock", which is more or less an umbrella term. I guess you could just use samples of drum kits from your favorite alt-rock artists. I'm being no help....

Meteo Xavier Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 That song is forgettable, not horrible. There is a difference there. Any case, can you find a higher quality version of that or another track? The compression in the youtube video makes it hard to get a really clear idea of what sound you're looking for and how to really achieve it.
