I bought this sample library, bur can't get the tracks and stems to sound as good as the drums in the demo.
Which compressors are most likely used in the drums in this sample library ? Especially on snare, rooms, overheads, parallel and drum bus ?

Listening to the demos what I think you need is a bit of thwack, and them some glue, i.e transient shaper to get the impact, then a compressor.
Don't have that kit, but Steven Slate Drums has a modern country kit in the same ballpark so gave it a quick go;

First just the kit as is, then through FL's transient shaper wound up to the attack at about 3/4, and then Toneboosters Ferox with the default settings and the 'compression' knob at max!

Here's an attempt I did today. I overdid a bit with compression I realize.
I used room, plate and chamber from ValhallaVintageVerb, and also shorted reverb from UAD Capitol Chambers.
I realized that I gotta get a dedicated reverb for snares ( room and/or plate ). Since the "room" in VVV is very basic one and has nasty flutter on very short decays which even on the highest diffusion still sound bad.

Sounds to me like a big part of this is augmentation. In my opinion no actual snare is going to sound like that, it's layered with a few samples to really fill out the sound. Nothing uncommon in this kind of music.

Could you take a screenshot of your VVV settings?TS-12 wrote: Sat Mar 08, 2025 2:34 am Here's an attempt I did today. I overdid a bit with compression I realize.

I recommend Liquidsonics Lustrous Plates for this. It's a great sounding plate and also has a dynamics module with compress/duck/gate.TS-12 wrote: Sat Mar 08, 2025 2:34 am I realized that I gotta get a dedicated reverb for snares ( room and/or plate ).
