ToonTrack Death & Darkness SDX Expansion Pack

A MATTER OF DEATH AND DARKNESS.
Two studios. Two engineers. All the death and darkness you can take.

The Death & Darkness SDX merges two world-class studios with two of today’s most in-demand modern metal producers: Mark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, Whitechapel, Coal Chamber) and Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Behemoth, Hatesphere). Combined, it gives you a truly diverse and all-encompassing collection of drums designed to cater to any facet of today’s fragmented scene – from the most brutal, blast beat-ridden and breakneck-speed death metal to hard-hitting metalcore, hardcore and all the fusion-inspired hybrids of progressive metal.

PLEASE NOTE: This title is a digital download and requires a free ToonTrack account. After purchase ToonTrack will provide us with a valid licence in the form of a serial number that we will then forward to you. This process can take up to a day to complete.

The SDX was configured as two separate libraries, one for each studio. The ‘Death’ portion of the SDX was recorded by Mark Lewis at his choice studio, the Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas. The Ranch’s perfectly crafted Vincent van Haaff-designed main room offers second-to-none acoustics – pristine and distinct but still dense and with a warm, resonant and balanced natural reverb. To contrast, the ‘Darkness’ part of the SDX offers a completely different experience – a darker, less polished and more raw-natured tone of drums. It was recorded in the empty swimming pool in Tue’s longtime and much-legendary Antfarm Studio in Aarhus, Denmark. With the reflective surface of the hard tile walls and floor in the pool combined with the surrounding room’s brick structure and high ceiling, the ambience of this unique room heard on countless albums is unlike any other.

Welcome to two studios, two schools of modern engineering and an almost insurmountable amount of drums ready for you to hone, mold and shape to literally anything you can imagine sound-wise. Get ready to produce drum mixes that have the power to pierce and cut through any thick wall of guitars or extremely layered production.

THE STUDIOS.
Welcome to two studios on opposite side of the Atlantic: the Sonic Ranch and Antfarm.

DARKNESS.
ANTFARM.
By the sheer look of this regular two-story house in the suburban outskirts of Aarhus, Denmark, you wouldn’t guess that behind its modest facade is a studio where countless metal classics have been immortalized. At the helm was and has always been the biggest mojo of the place – Tue Madsen. We were lucky to capture his unique room before he just recently moved to a new location.

NOTABLE METAL MOMENTS.
Here is a small selection of albums tinted by that unmistakable Tue Madsen and Antfarm mojo ever-so-present in the ‘Darkness’ sound library.

Heaven Shall Burn “Invictus” (2010)
Sick of It All “XXV Nonstop” (2011)
The Haunted “Unseen” (2011)

DEATH.
SONIC RANCH.
In the midst of pecan orchards, grape vines and breathtaking panoramas, the Sonic Ranch has a truly a one-of-a-kind setting for a recording studio. Bordering the Rio Grande and Old Mexico, located on a a 2,300 acre secluded property, this is not just a place to record, it’s a place to create.

“Sonic Ranch has been one of my favorite places to work since I first did a record there. It’s one of the world’s premiere studios with the best gear, incredible rooms and the most focused and inspiring work environment I’ve ever been in. From the equipment to the people and the food to the vibe, it was a no-brainer to create this important project there. I am thrilled with the results,” commented Mark Lewis.

NOTABLE METAL MOMENTS.
Here are just some of the albums on which you can hear the sonic fingerprint of the Sonic Ranch.

Bullet for My Valentine “Scream Aim Fire” (2008)
DevilDriver “Beast” (2011)
Cannibal Corpse “Torture” (2012)

FUN FACTS.
The Sonic Ranch is the world’s largest residential recording studio complex (the property is 2,300 acres!)
The ‘Neve Room’ (in which we recorded) has the largest Neve console in the world (80 channels of 31105 mic pre/EQs and flying faders). The left hand side of this vintage Neve 8078 was the original West Coast Motown console. It later found its home in Madonna’s “Brooklyn” studio. The console has since been combined with another 8078 and now permanently resides at the Sonic Ranch.
There are over 80 guitars available in the studios, all labeled by year. Some notable guitars include a 1951 Fender Nocaster as well as a Gibson Les Paul Goldtop (that was previously owned by G.E. Smith).

THE DRUMS.
The drums for each session were handpicked respectively by Mark and Tue together with the Toontrack team. The aim was to supply the broadest possible palette of tones and difference in materials. In addition to the regular kits and cymbal collections, a large selection of additional instruments were recorded.
