VDL vs. Muse Drumline - Sound Library Comparison

[@PatrickORourke-]

Snareline sample was actually the solo snare sound not the snare "Line" sound. You have to create system text, click the speaker thing, then select "Line - Sticks - Snares on"... which is super annoying

[@jacobnater9800]

I’ve found the individual drum is better than line

[@PatrickORourke-]

@@jacobnater9800 I would 100% agree

[@RyanZeutzius]

I went back and checked the file and you're totally right, thank you for pointing that out! I assumed that the instrument would default to "line" and that you'd have to specify for "solo," though evidently that isn't the case in MuseScore.

[@EMCproductions]

Overall Sound: VDL 10/10, MDL 7/10 Ease of Setup/Installation: MDL 10/10, VDL 0/10 (haven't tried the new VDL setup in MS4, so maybe it's easier to figure out)

[@dci_fan0345]

In my opinion, the bass line and the cymbal sound the best, dynamics are still an issue in MS4 but other than that the way they sound is amazing. I think tenors and snares could use some work, snares especially during flams

[@skittles.n.snares]

Yeah the snares have by far the biggest disparity in sound, but those basses sound incredible.

[@yourboymalikcoleman8731]

I agree i love musescore 4 it’s just the sound of the flams

[@Thishandleistakenbutwhocares]

In other words, SCV has better sounding drums than Blue Devils lol

[@ryan553]

Doesn’t SCV use dynasty’s tho?

[@TylerDunphy]

Thank you so much for this video! I also know Muse released a VDL drumline sound for 10 dollars so I am very interested in trying that out too, as I much prefer the clarity you get there.

[@RyanZeutzius]

@@TylerDunphy glad you enjoyed! I am also very intrigued by the Muse Sounds version of VDL (especially because it’s 1/20th of the normal price). I was actually considering including it in this video, but I get an “unsupported region” message from Muse Hub about making purchases at the moment. Hopefully in the future I’ll be able to check it out and compare both VDLs!

[@dci_fan0345]

@@RyanZeutziusMuse Hub is having some trouble with the payment system at the moment. It should be fixed soon so you can make a video on it

[@kbrichmo8547]

$10 for VDL is insane compared to the usual $200. No clue how they swung that deal but I need to scoop it up

[@Makeromanticismmainstreamagain]

@@kbrichmo8547 Honestly its most likely a 100 times lighter version like with Berlin strings.

[@john.adcock]

If only MuseScore had a VDL module. Oh, wait...it does.

[@RudimentalNico]

That's a really cool bass lick.

[@lamesnareman]

Thanks for this! while i love that Muse sounds is trying to create alternatives to VDL i think this isn't quite there. The dynamics feel over-emphasized and the reverb behaves a little strange too which is not really what I desire out of playback. Still using MDL with MS 3...

[@gavin_bigred]

MuseScore 3 mdl is still unbeaten by ms4

[@evanfisher64]

Imo if u get rid of the reverb in ms4 it’s way better that 3. Ms3 is still a very viable option nonetheless

[@evanfisher64]

@@beaumartinmusicit’s in the mixer, under each instrument there’s a reverb slider and also an off button

[@Aaron_S1013]

In my opinion, Muse Drumline sounds the mist realistic and not so much like a music software program but more like how itd sound in person, VDL sounds amazinf but its too moduel robtic-y sounding. Both are amazing tools.

[@shaanfliesplanes]

How were you able to change the note heads without it changing it to a normal hit with the snare drum

[@yungtwiz]

how did you get the solo snare sound on muse drumline?

[@shaanfliesplanes]

VDL on top

[@TheXile_MUSIC]

I prefer the VDL sounds even though i use MuseScore

[@franklinbileth]

I think everything VDL sounds better except for basses. I really liked the Bass Line sound of Muse

[@jarxzy]

how do you do the sizzle suck on cymbals in the new muse drumline? it doesn't work for me when I copy your notation

[@kalehakaido561]

Wait how did you do the 4:3 ratios if I may ask

[@ryan553]

Make a dotted 8th note rest, click on it, in musescore click add and press triplet, put the numbers 4:3 and put it on ratio

[@Wynnez_Music]

How do you get this on Musescore Studio 4.4?

[@YungGing]

You’re going to want to reinstall MuseHub. They redesigned the app. Once you’re in, you’ll be able to navigate to the “MuseSounds” tab and find “MuseDrumline” Hope this helps

[@Wynnez_Music]

@@YungGing We'll try!! So delete Musescore Studio and reinstall the hub? If so, does your data get deleted?

[@iplaydrums-iarrangemusic]

@@Wynnez_Music No you're data will not be deleted unless you go back and actually delete it. All MuseScore files should stay, but the program that launches them so you can use it will not remain.

[@megapuppydoctor]

how did you notate for edge halfway and center on musescore

[@RyanZeutzius]

If you add staff text (Ctrl+T on windows) to a note and then click on the speaker symbol that comes up next to it, you can select between different playing zones and implements

[@RVVDont]

Has anyone had luck with the musehub? Haven’t been able to buy the vdl pack. I do know someone actually made a template to use vdl 2.5 but I wanted to try the plugin first

[@megapuppydoctor]

@@RyanZeutzius thank you

[@jacobkamradt4893]

It doesn't seem to do anything when I click on the speaker symbol, it just goes away? Am I doing something wrong?

[@dedede5586]

while its not perfect MuDL is still an amazing option if you dont have a spare $200 to drop on VDL like me

[@Sever-x7v]

no comparison... muse is amateur as they come... they are not virtual instruments, but out dated soundfont technology... they are extremely limited and sound quality is poor

[@jarxzy]

how did you do the puffies on the tenors in muse drumline?
