Hi, vengeance metrum since its release i was curious if i needed or not. its popped up at half price currently.
I make house music. i have countless drum plugs and samples,but as always we always feel like we missing something,right? hehe
b.t.w im doing same question for multiband sidechain 3

 

Alternative: D16 PunchBox

Despite being another kick drum instrument based on the mixing of one synthesiser and three sample-based engines, PunchBox takes a very different approach to Metrum and Kick 2 in both its architecture and interface.

Metrum is not bad, I find it actually quite pleasant to use and still use it sometimes. But it's definitely gotten bit long in the tooth nowadays compared to Kick3 for example. You can get Kick3 now at discount almost the same price, I think it's better value for money. Still Metrum is not bad by any means.

 

if you make hands up and dance stuff, it's going to make your life a lot easier. there are a huge number of usable samples, layers and full kicks ready to go. however, the problem is, like others have said, kick3 and even other alternatives are much easier to use: the graphs can be handled with much more ease.

i dont think anyone really needs it, but if you have some money and want to treat yourself, go for it.

 

impact in studio one 7 is what i use for drums... i think you dont need it. its more for techno, dance, trance, club hands up oriented

 

Kick3 hands down
