This is a little Blues I wrote for one of my compositions classes at the Atlanta Institute of Music.

I bought a POD HD PRO at the beggining of this year and did a little test with it just before I returned it. Anyways, I think it's a tastey jam.

Old POD HD test

I'm in the process of recording all the pre-production for my band Hearkening to Andromeda. And I decided to spend some time on some crunch tones through my pod x3. Here's the result. Guitar and bass tones are all from the pod x3 with very little post-processing just to fit well in the mix. Drums are SD.

Here are some free bass drum samples. First bass drum is a Pacific 22' and the second one is a Pearl Masterworks 22'. They were both tracked with a shure sm7b and a solomon sub kick straight into a focusrite scarlett 18i20 into prog tools 11. They are just EQd to clean up a little bit but no compression whatsoever.

EQ on bass drum and snare, tom bus and drum bus. A little bit of reverb and slight compression on the drum bus. 

All drums performed by Eric Dansie. Recorded by Louis Texidor at ATEH Studios. 

Snare Drums and Drum Session Samples

Been trying to get some tones out of the black box. These are definitely not tones I would pursue but they sound ballsy enough.

Here is my entry for the 2016 Drumception contest ft. Mario Duplantier hosted by Gear Gods in collaboration with Toontrack and Alclair. Super stoked on this contest !!!

Drumception Contest - Lewis Texidor ft. Mario Duplantier

Quick little test to see how live I could my drums sounding without using any reverb in my new room. 

I Used a pair of pencil condensers and a mono ribbon mic as overheads, a mic on the kick and then a room mic. That's all. NO CLOSE MICS. Added some compression and a little EQ carving, and I am really stoked on how the room sounds for drums. ABSOLUTELY no artificial or plugin reverb.
