Listener-wise, I thought One was pretty nice. I'd be curious what you guys did not like about it, artist-wise??

4) When making a big fat ass drum sound with Superior 2.0 does he use multiple layers (Like multi-tracking guitars but with drums) or is there another way to achieve that god like punch?<--- I realise this has probably been answered to death but I'm just gonna try my luck anyway

and from no compression, its all a virtue... if you compress too much the drums will end up as a single block of sound wich only punches on the song-start, if you do too less it will sound thin, its a matter of experience and taste to create a punchy but still open (=not overcompressed) mix, although bulbs mixes are very very dense compared to others in metalCompression.
Drums don't get 'multitracked'. Some people like to stack snares etc. with the XDrum feature, but that is usually to get a mix of tonal elements from both. It doesn't make it sound bigger, just different. All the punch comes from compression.
Jan has literally compiled everyone's reported issues on forums and fb and has sent them through.
If you guys didnt realize it already he takes care of fuckin business, and thats one of the many reasons we love him.
With that said hopefully all of this will be resolved soon!
I'm sorry if this is a bit of a derail from the earlier conversation, but I just finished reading the post on Misha's Blackmachine that got necrobumped and it left me with a few questions I was hoping maybe Misha or anyone on here could answer.

Thought I'd also ask a question here. Don't know if this has been asked before, but are you guys planning on recording acoustic drums on the new album, or just sticking to electronic drums + SD2.0 (or whatever)?
We are demoing with everything from recorded acoustic to fully toontrack drums and we will go with what (or whatever combination) sounds best!
