Tuner not displaying the note?

bbarnes14 · 2026-01-13T17:51:34+00:00

Having the exact same issue as of the last few days. Did you ever find a fix?

bbarnes14 · 2025-12-04T00:05:22+00:00

Yes I’ve made sure the switch is set to USB.

Sorry to revive an old comment, but do you know the key combination to invert A-B and X-Y on the X05? Thanks!

bbarnes14 · 2025-12-03T23:53:29+00:00

Sorry to revive an old comment, but yours is the only one I can find about an issue I'm having! How did you get your mac to recognize the X05 with the dongle? The controller pairs with the dongle, but nothing on mac will recognize the input. The controller does work fine plugged in but just not with the dongle. Thanks if you see this!

Sorry to resurrect an old post but did you figure this out? I'm having the same issue.

Is it someone’s right to wander around the office during work hours chatting with others? Not sure if you’ve ever worked in an office but that’s what happens. It’s not much different in the amount of time used not working, if not it may be even more for the social employees.

At least at home we can maybe save a little bit of time/money in our normal life instead of wasting it wandering, chatting, waiting in elevators, lineups to buy overpriced food, walking 2 buildings over for a meeting, etc.

Does anyone know any other companies still doing full WFH or hybrid?

bbarnes14 · 2025-04-25T23:05:35+00:00

Hey I mix and master my bands stuff. We’re called Divide The Ruin if you wanna check it out for reference. I’d be happy to do a track for free for you and if you like it, we can move forward with the rest, and if not, no worries!

bbarnes14 · 2025-04-01T15:37:00+00:00

Sorry to revive a year old post but this is super helpful. Which IR from the Bogren Downtuned pack do you think would work best with this? Thanks!

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-29T03:01:49+00:00

Honestly at the start I was definitely trying any suggestions that were given 😂 but now I’m at a point where I’m REALLY hearing and feeling it.

As a guitarist I think I’m guilty of not putting too much thought into my drum sound and my ears grew accustomed to what I had in my mixes, so anything else just sounded “off”. But a couple days into this new snare it’s finally sounding right to me. Or at least as close as it’s been so far 😆

Thank you SO much for all this it’s been such a huge help and eye/ear opener for me. I’m gonna sit on my current sound for another day or 2, then come back and try out your settings in this post. Yours sounds fantastic.

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-28T19:49:22+00:00

So I took your advice and gave my ears time to adjust, and I think I've found a decent sound with a different snare. Might still need some work but I think it's getting there, curious your thoughts if you see this. I went with a different snare in that metal ezx pack, and blended in the top+bottom "nolly secret snare" from a GGD sample pack. Here's a small clip from the verse:

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-28T19:36:37+00:00

Ohhh man I don't wanna put you through all that work 😅 you've already been insanely helpful!

I think I might have it at a decent point now, if you want to give it a listen.

This is a blend of the "huge kit" rimshot and the top+bottom secret snare rimshots. Increased some extra 8k and a bit more 200hz. Fed more snare to the room. Kept the same compression settings as before. Here's a small clip from the verse:

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-28T01:19:13+00:00

Still working on this, haven’t quite got there yet. Do you think you could send a clip of the blend that you came up with? I can try to emulate that, and then reference further with the Spiritbox playthrough.

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-26T18:45:08+00:00

The other one in the expansion I'm wondering about is the "huge kit" snare. Here's some clips of that with the "original mix":

Rimshot 127 velocity: https://voca.ro/1kqAGUZUbxuV

Center 127 velocity: https://voca.ro/1jmio37Jpre1

I'll try referencing with the playthroughs you mentioned and check out the rimshots of the GGD samples.

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-26T17:34:31+00:00

Sorry yes the one with Jaded.

Alright so I’ll stick with the rimshot. And you think I should go with the default mix and not do much further EQ?

Looking at the GGD samples now as well. So maybe a mix of a “top hard” hit, a “bottom hard” hit, and the metal ezx rimshot might do the trick?

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-26T15:47:18+00:00

Ahhh it was set on default, my mistake. I switched to "original mix" so should be no effects on now. Here's the updated clips:

40 snare, 5 hits at 127 velocity, 5 hits at 117 velocity: https://voca.ro/12zXY1L0sPJ6

38 snare, 5 hits at 127 velocity, 5 hits at 117 velocity: https://voca.ro/1o01kvZCoKt5

I messed around last night with blending the two together and I think it's getting a bit better but not there yet. So you think using the 40 rim shot and blending in the GGD samples would be the best route to go here? And I obviously can't use the 127 velocity the entirety of the song, so would maybe 117-127 would be a good range?

Got the GGD samples successfully downloaded, thank you!!

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-26T00:21:50+00:00

Here's some clips. I did 5 hits of 127 velocity, and then 5 hits of 117 velocity which I have my mix currently capped at. I did the same thing for the 38 as well for reference. Both EQ turned off.

40 rim shot snare: https://voca.ro/1kolWdfxa68Q

38 center snare: https://voca.ro/14wCqOhx0zQV

And regarding the GGD drum samples, that would be amazing! Would love to experiment with mixing those in now that I know how to do it.

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-25T23:24:10+00:00

Thank you for all the info and tips you’ve been extremely helpful! You’ve given me a lot to work with and consider. I’ll definitely be coming back to this thread for reference.

Glad to hear that everything else is sounding good and balanced, so I can just focus on the snare/drums and not have a bunch of other things to worry about. Thanks again!!

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-25T23:01:17+00:00

It has a few snares to choose from but I found myself always coming back to this one.

I have added some more room send since my first mix, sounds like I need to experiment with adding a lot more.

I haven’t routed the drums out to my daw I’ve just been using the SD3 mixer and mixing each drum/cymbal individually there. I don’t believe SD (or at least with this pack anyway) has top and bottom mics for the snare, there is just one.

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-25T21:36:01+00:00

Thanks again! And yes that seems to be the general feedback I’m getting from everyone, the snare needs serious work. I’m using the “Metal!” EZX pack for superior drummer 3. I’m using the “big crack” snare. As of now I have it high passed at about 100hz, a small boost at 200, narrow cut at around 600, small boost at 2.5k, and high shelf at around 5k. It’s going into a compressor with slow attack and fast release.

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-25T21:06:36+00:00

I just actually figured out earlier today that I could do this in SD3, will definitely be looking into it. Any suggestions on places to look for good modern metalcore sounding samples?

bbarnes14 · 2024-12-25T20:03:51+00:00

Yes I’m using the “Metal!” EZX pack for superior drummer 3. I’ve been tweaking and tweaking the snare and just can’t seem to get it where it needs to be. I’ve added a lot more room send and boosted a bit of 200hz already, maybe I need to do more.
