In a new video by Wojtek Wiesławski, the sound engineer and producer at Hertz Studio demonstrates how you can take Hertz Drums and with a few adjustments and free plugins, create an in-your-face drum sound like TesseracT’s “War of Being” song.

The audio plugin market these days is oversaturated to put it mildly. Dozens of companies advertise their plugins as ‘life-changing’ and ‘must-have’, and the temptation to spend a hundred bucks on a new compressor or EQ DAW plugin when you already have ten is still hard to resist. Admit it, we’ve all been there! It’s not that I’m saying all those plugins are bad or useless, not at all, but the thing is that there is also a huge free plugin segment that is often unjustifiably overlooked. With the right audio source and a clear understanding of what you’re doing you can achieve outstanding results even with free DAW plugins.

So, today, we’ll explore how to recreate the drum sound from Tesseract’s latest record “War Of Being” using the Fame and Fury library by Hertz Drums and some free audio plugins.
