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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome 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.

I had a much smaller studio back then that I re-arranged so I didn’t have a drum room anymore and therefore nowhere to put my drum kit…and since the pool was empty I just put it there. One day I thought I would set it up for my son to play with and when I hit that bass drum the first time it was the most amazing feeling. It sounded like every Scorpions\/Bon Jovi ’80s record played at the same time. Huge stadium sound! I started to talk about it to a few of my friends and did a short test recording for a local hardcore band, which was in theory a horrible idea, but turned out pretty awesome sounding. From there the idea was taking form. My friend Alex from Heaven Shall Burn liked the idea so much that he wanted to record the drums for the band’s next album “Invictus” in it, and the first album was recorded. The studio wasn’t even in the same building, so we had to open a window and run a multi cable down the stairs outside through the door to do the recording. It was a mess, but the sound was amazing. In fact. we also did the next album “Veto” there. Since then, many albums were recorded using the pool as a drum room: The Haunted, Moonspell, Sick of It All, HateSphere, Illdisposed, Ektomorf, Mnemic, Cataract, Born from Pain, Velvet Volume, The Boy That Got Away, I’ll Be Damned. The pool gives you a very hard and aggressive attack, but can also provide a much softer “wishy-washy” sound if you play with the room microphones. It has been a constant inspiration over the years. Due to the measurements of the room, some frequencies get crazy and can be used to get some extreme sounds. I always had a set of Røde NT 1000 mics in the corners behind the drum kit, and if you ever wanted 49 Hz on your drums – that was where to get it.”\u003cbr\u003eTue Madsen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDEATH.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSONIC RANCH.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.

Let people play rather than me programming and beat detecting and copy pasting… I believe all that dirt that occurs helps to build something unique and special that will never be the same for any other record. And making unique records is what it is all about. Bringing out something that only THIS band could do right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou recently moved out of your studio and one of the last sessions was actually capturing the drums for this Toontrack SDX. Why did you move and where do you currently work?\u003cbr\u003eThe Toontrack session was the very last one! I cut the multi-cable the day after they left, so no turning back. I wanted to move to the country for years now and we (family included) finally found the perfect house. This whole summer I have been building a new studio. I already did a few productions and I am very pleased with how it is sounding and now I still have the pool with me forever thanks to Toontrack. In fact those sounds are already on a few albums that are going to hit the charts very soon all around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you weren’t making albums, what do you think you’d do for a living?\u003cbr\u003eWell the house we bought came with a huge garden, so I guess I would be cutting trees and mowing lawns… No actually I have no idea. I would feel completely useless if I couldn’t record drums and guitars anymore. I have to make music with good people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pool is your previous studio has a really unique ambience when it comes to drum tones. Listening back to the SDX sounds, what are your thoughts of how it translated to the “digital” realm?\u003cbr\u003eI was really shocked at how much it sounded like the real thing when I got the first draft of the plugin. First hit on a cymbal or tom and I am right back there in the pool. It sounds exactly like I have gotten used to over the years. I hope people will enjoy getting sounds out of it too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest studio moments so far in your career?\u003cbr\u003eBest studio moments…are simply too many. Being one of the first fans of Meshuggah, of course recording them at PUK studio was incredible not only for me as a fan boy, but also because those guys can play and are aware of so many things that influence the way the finals will sound. Mixing the Metal God (Rob Halford) was incredible. Working with the greatest Hardcore bands Sick of It All, Madball, BillyBio etc. and feeling that it is mutual. I think that is really the big moment for me – when the bands are as happy with me as I am with them, and we strive for the same goal AND reach it. I have some lifetime relationships with some bands such as Ektomorf, Heaven Shall Burn, Moonspell etc. where grow together, change together, explore together. That is really fulfilling for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eA SELECTION OF TUE’S DISCOGRAPHY\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from Pain “Sands of Time” (2003)\u003cbr\u003eSick of It All “Death to Tyrants” (2006)\u003cbr\u003eSuicide Silence “The Cleasing” (2007)\u003cbr\u003eDark Tranquillity “We Are the Void” (2010)\u003cbr\u003eMeshuggah “A Violent Sleep of Reason” (2016)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDEATH.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMARK LEWIS.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMark Lewis is originally from the Southern Maryland area but spent a big portion of his recording career in Orlando, FL, working out of Audiohammer Studios.

Growing up, my dad had a pretty amazing stereo system with some old JBL 4311 studio monitors as his main setup. I would listen to his records all the time and eventually, they started buying me my own at a pretty young age. Once I really started getting serious about guitar, I got deeper and deeper into how things sounded and how those things were achieved. Between my dad pointing things out to me and my guitar teachers really schooling me on production and tones, I really got deep into the audio world pretty early. I would spend hours tweaking my amps and trying all kinds of different things. I would probably have been a much better guitar player if I hadn’t been so fascinated with audio! In reality, I always wanted to be a performer, but when people started noticing how seriously I took sounds I sort of became the person they would go to about tones and recording advice. I figured out I could actually make a living doing this instead of relying on four or five other crazy people to keep a band together. So far it’s worked out OK, I think.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are tons of engineers and producers out there doing records with mid-sized bands, but only a handful of go-to, A-level guys producing the bulk of what’s topping the US modern metal scene. You’re definitely one of them. Is there a specific moment or project that helped push you on to the next level?\u003cbr\u003eWell, I was lucky to start engineering under my super-talented best bud Jason Suecof, and from the moment I started at Audiohammer we were working on some really cool stuff. I would say the records that really put us on the map as a team sonically were Bury Your Dead’s “Beauty and the Breakdown” as well as Black Dahlia Murder’s “Nocturnal. Those were the early landmarks that sort of blazed my trail, I suppose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you weren’t producing records, what would you do?\u003cbr\u003eGood question. I don’t really know anything else. I taught guitar before I did this, and I liked it. But I didn’t get the same satisfaction as I do from this. If I had to start over, I think maybe I would get into electronics of some sort. My knowledge now is so limited, but it really fascinates me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn a mix, where do you usually start: the drums, guitars, vocals or something else?\u003cbr\u003eI usually start with the drums, getting those right. The snare, overheads and toms usually take the longest to sit right. I have a very rough guitar and bass mix going that whole time too and once I feel good about the drums, I move onto the guitars and bass. I’ve been known to take days dialing in a guitar sound and EQ. It gets tedious beyond even what most people would think or tolerate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eListening back to the drums now that they’re done and prepared for the software, how do you think it all turned out?\u003cbr\u003eI couldn’t be happier with the raw tones. We have a huge variety of drums and mics that will allow you to achieve pretty much anything with these kits. The thing I can’t stress enough is the flexibility here. You have great presets in the EZX that are mix-ready and will sound killer dropped right into a mix and then on the SDX you get the presets and all the raw tones. There are four different kick mics, three snare mics, two different stereo overheads, three sets of stereo rooms at varying distances, four different mono room mics and a mic on every cymbal. Not to mention four different kits, nine kicks and loads of snares. The possibilities are endless and there is an infinite variety of incredible sounds within this library. Between Sean’s hands and Toontrack’s attention to detail, it feels like the most real of any library I’ve ever heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA SELECTION OF MARK’S DISCOGRAPHY\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhitechapel “This Is Exile” (2008)\u003cbr\u003eDevilDriver “Winter Kills” (2013)\u003cbr\u003eSix Feet Under “Undead” (2012)\u003cbr\u003eCannibal Corpse “A Skeletal Domain” (2014)\u003cbr\u003eCoal Chamber “Rivals” (2015)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDARKNESS.
