Craig N Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 If anyone has and uses 8 bit kit, I'd love it if you could explain how to get it not to sound like hot garbage. I bought it during the last sale, along with Dark Farm, and its just... wrong. Only 3 presets, and they didn't even show up until I messed around with the location of files. And when I load any of the kits its just set up so poorly, with levels flat across the board, distorted as all hell, just sounds bizarre. There's no info online about how it should sound, so I have no idea if it's meant to sound like someone with a microphone who went insane made a bunch of weird sounding drum sounds and only half got them to work in BFD before deciding screw it, I'm done, let's put this up for sale.

The video below shows them sounding bad. However, in the comments below the video, someone says that the default sounds on another product sounded bad and it was because so much mix was going through the room, overhead, and ambient mics. Maybe try some changes there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw that and have tried playing with those, but with no reference to check against its impossible to know what it should sound like, which really limits the effectiveness. I probably should follow up with support - and see if there is any available under InMusic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fret_man Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Wait. These are 8 BIT drum samples, right? That's Commodore/Atari 1980 home computer level quality. Shouldn't we expect those to sound "bad"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't we expect those to sound "bad"? No. 8Bit Music is the name of the company that did the sampling. They were sampled at 24 Bit, 44.1 KHz. They were played with different items like a paint roller. That is what is supposed to make them unique. Though maybe you knew that and my humour detector is malfunctioning.
