Drummix Metal 1 offers an exceptional acoustic drum experience, captured in a professional studio environment with top-tier equipment. The drum kit featured is a Tama Artstar 2, one of the limited editions used by Lars Ulrich during the Black Album tour, equipped with 6 toms, 2 kick drums, and a wide array of cymbals. Recorded in a medium ambiance room with additional microphones placed in a large adjacent space, this setup delivers a powerful metal drum sound that stands out in any mix.

Every microphone used in the recording process is available as a separate output, allowing detailed control over the drum mix. The microphones include renowned brands like Neumann, AKG, Coles, Beyerdynamic, and Shure, with signals processed through high-end preamps and converters to ensure pristine sound quality. This setup enables users to mix and shape the drum sound precisely, from crisp snares to booming kicks, with the flexibility to tailor the ambiance and dynamics to fit different metal production styles.

Drummix Metal 1 is offered in both stereo and multi-output versions. The multi-output option sends each microphone channel to individual outputs in your digital audio workstation, mimicking the experience of mixing a real drum kit. This allows for extensive processing such as EQ, compression, and reverb on each drum element, enabling producers to craft sounds ranging from polished hi-fi to raw low-fi textures. Removing or blending different microphones also opens creative possibilities for unique drum tones.
