The thing I like about RD is that they ARE human from the the git-go.

While there are times I'd like to be able to isolate the kick or the snare, unless they are recorded from a midi based E-Kit, that ain't gonna happen due to the bleed.

So, as I pointed out earlier, multiband compression and use of EQ allows me to get more snap out of the snare and more kick out of the kick.

I think too, that lots of folks (IMHO) using midi drums, unless they are truly a drummer, tend to mix the kit inaccurately more often than not. I recall my own experiences in dealing with all the many options I have available in Jamstix..... it's easy to mess up a good sounding kit by tweeking things too much.

With RD... what you hear is what you got.... for the most part.
