On one hand I think if I don't manage to get a great drum sound with AD, it's my fault, since I have heard really great clips with AD on them (eg the audio demos for the Metal AdPak on their website all sound great to me).
But then again, the EQ in AD for instance had 3 bands whereas the EQ in SD2.0 had 5 bands and you can even load several instances of it into one channel, which just goes to show that SD2 offers more flexibility.
And yes, I remember having gotten better results in a previous mix/clip, like you said, but I guess I went overboard tweaking and kinda ruined it in the process. LOL
I think I will try remixing my songs using SD2.0 with Metal Foundry and see if I get any better results.
Either way, back to the drawing board
Do you think any of the guitars need to be re-tracked?

As for the drums... yeah, Superior is great, but if you're not really comfortable with it you might be better off sticking with AD and trying to tweak that bit more out of it. Is there an AD forum or something where you can maybe get some help or presets to look at from people who've posted up some nifty clips? Then again, maybe it would be better to just use Superior. Whatever gets you the results.

When you're getting distracted by certain instruments sticking right out of the mix, or the mix sounding disjointed or whatever, you're not absorbed in the music as such and your brain just picks at anything it finds. Well, mine does anyway.

Yeah, there is a forum, but it seems that there are not too many metal folks using AD.
I do have some cool presets that sound awesome, but when I place them in my stuff they don't sound that hot anymore....
I think I will give SD2.0 a spin to see what I get.
