Heavyocity Damage Percussion
@saintjoe, it arrives tomorrow bright and early kind people of Heavyocity/NI shipped me a copy basically same day. I’m huge on percussion stacking and building deep tracks From what I’ve gathered the library really allows you to get in depth with the drums. Watching your video, and hearing you get lost in the samples just by banging on ’em says a LOT about it. It’s not just a flip through a library and random talk about fancy synth noises.
I’ll come back and post up my youtube account so you can see what I come up with. Hey saintjoe or any of you guys who are experienced in these things. Im total beginner at soft music more less. Mainly making music with instruments with various effects and so on, but i would like to produce some great dark devastating songs using programs like Damage, Dark planet and so on, im very impressed by its sounds. Have done some stuff years ago using some music softs, but never used full capacity of those programs. What do i need to run these program in full force?
Can manage just on computer, or will miss some synths or work stations anyway? Ok,i have Cubase 5, but havent used yet, cause i just got it for i want to use Dark planet on it, then i found Damage,so can i use them at same time in Cubase for example? Just expand library of Cubase by infiltrating of Damage and Dark planet sounds, then i have them inside and use them all the time by running Cubase right? I have to learn everything from very beginning, how to do things,what individual names for functions means and so on.uff that will be masochistic period but result will be certainly delicious:))) Do you have any suggest where i could find the good lessons for beginners useful for this stuff? Thanx a lot!!
Permission to Punish DAMAGE integrates seamlessly with your DAW, with a compelling workflow to hotwire your creativity. The spectacular user interface was specifically designed with the composer and sound designer in mind. Tempo sync is automatic, and exporting a loop's MIDI data to your sequencer is simply drag-and-drop. Get results fast with integrated keyswitches for playing effects and remixing loops on the fly, and create instant trailers with the unique 'Damage Hits'. Then, dial up the 'Punish' knob to pile on the pressure. Effects Three levels of effects are intrinsically bound to the loops and kits - apply effects globally, trigger performance effects, or tweak individual sounds.
Master Effects control distortion, reverb, delay, drive, and more Trigger FX (pictured here) are switchable real-time effects with incredible scope for intuitive, creative sound-mangling. The EQ and Filters provide simple but effective fine-tuning per drum, and presiding over everything is the Punish Knob, for signature drive and character – just dial-in the heat as required. The Road To Damage Our goal was to break new ground by combining traditional drums with found-sounds to create a unique sonic blend. In our journey to capture an eclectic mix of percussive instruments, we decided early on that recording sources in multiple locations with different configurations would give DAMAGE the depth we were looking for. We captured sound sources at Heavyocity's studio in New York, Prism Sound Studios 'The Church' in Boston, Skyline Studios' A Room in Manhattan, a junkyard in Connecticut and other locations. Two Years of Detail Over the course of two years, we captured in-depth recordings of unique percussion.
Over 26,500 samples were recorded at 96 kHz, 24-bit (all meticulously downsampled to 44.1 kHz 24-bit) using state of the art equipment, including SSL and Neve large format consoles, API, Wunder, Neve and Avalon Mic pre/EQs, and AKG, Mojave, Sennheiser, Lawson and Neumann Microphones. A large part of DAMAGE's deeply-sampled material consists of ensemble-style recordings. We captured these ensembles so they would deliver detailed performance dynamics (most with 9 round robins and 6 velocities) and a wide range of impact. Designing The User Interface The DAMAGE GUI (Graphical User Interface) was a challenge.
Dark, aggressive, thrilling and threatening — Damage is breathtaking cinematic percussion with a tense, epic edge. Created by Heavyocity, Damage is a unique.
Heavyocity Damage Change Time Signature
It had to be intuitive and inspiring, and incorporate both the rhythmic suites (loops) and the percussive kits (multi-samples/one shots). Instead of a one-size-fits-all-approach, we created GUIs for each instrument type. We wanted the interface to exude a gritty attitude, and make people want to get their hands on it. After months of brainstorming and many revisions, we found just the right balance between functionality, playability, and plenty of attitude. Damage Effects DAMAGE provides simple, intuitive ways to alter the sounds without leaving the interface. You have control over EQ, Filter, Tuning, and a wide range of master effects (Distortion, Lofi, Reverb, Delay, Compression). In many of the percussive kits, you also have the ability to tune, filter, and equalize each drum individually.
In addition to the master controls and effects, every preset contains the signature Punish Knob. Combining saturation, distortion, compression, and limiting, the Punish Knob creates an effect that can be both musical and devastating. 'It Came From Over There.' One key feature for the multi-mic kits is the ability to place the drums in the stereo field.
The Stage tab, found in presets with deeply sampled percussion and cinematic single-shots, allows you to quickly and easily place a drum in 1 of the 35 positions on a ‘stage’. Using the three Master Mixer faders, you can easily change the decay characteristics and balance of the close, room and hall mic positions. You can also solo and mute each mic position, or decrease the sample footprint by purging unused microphone positions.
Customizing The Grooves With such a diverse collection of percussive loops, we wanted to provide a way to radically alter the grooves. The single loop ‘modifier’ controls allow you to reverse the order, stutter, skip, and randomize the playback of the loops’ slices on the fly. We actually exceeded our own expectations here — you can twist and reshape the loops into entirely different forms, making these little monsters your own. You can change the tuning, level and pan of each slice. And for detailed rearrangement, just drag the loop’s MIDI data into your host sequencer.
