Free Drag and Drop FX Rack to make your Drums Crunchy & Punchy!

This little rack delivers quite a bit to any drums!

The rack has an EQ 8 with three frequency filter gains mapped to three of the macro knobs. They are strategically placed to be effective with most bass music drum kits. Although, if the snare isn’t being effected like it should be you may need to get in there and move adjust the frequency band for that filter.

For this particular rack I have a low cut at 38 Hz, the low boost frequency is at 70 hz, the snare boost frequency is at 200 hz, and the high end ( bright ) boost is at 8,000 Hz.

Next up there is a Saturator. I just used the A Bit Warmer Preset, but put the Dry/Wet at about 75% and Mapped the Drive to a Macro Knob. I then set the Min Val to -2 db and the Max Val to +6 db. That way you can get a bit of stank on the drums with out going over board!

Third in the device chain is the Glue Compressor. I have the following parameters set.

Attack 10

Release 1

Ratio 2

Threshold -12 *mapped to macro

Makeup +5 *mapped to macro

Soft Clip ON

Dry / Wet 100% *mapped to macro

Then finally I have the limiter on just in case of clipping, and also to apply a bit of extra boost if needed. The default is set to 0 db though. That gain is mapped to the last macro knob.
