Whether you're stepping up from EZ, or you're craving a professional, and ultra-flexible virtual drummer for your sessions, you won't want to miss Toontrack Superior Drummer 2.0.Īt the request of Pat Thrall (Glenn Hughs, Black Crowes, Beyonce), the sounds in Superior Drummer 2.0 were recorded in 2005 at the soon-to-be-closing Hit Factory studio in New York. Plus, the sounds are top-notch - so good, in fact, that Toontrack created the brand new Superior Drummer 2.0 engine expressly to showcase them, instead of just releasing them as an expansion pack. They've completely overhauled the dfh-Superior engine so it's optimized for use with electronic drum kits, makes even more effective use of sample layers, and loads much faster than before. Toontrack Superior Drummer 2.0 gives you incredible drum control while maintaining an intuitive interface that's reminiscent of EZdrummer. Digital Adapters & Miscellaneous Cables.While I'd like to have a better deal for owning EZ2, SD2, I think supporting the company is important as they have that easy to upgrade app manager, have been entirely bug-free for my uses, and now are so open with 3rd party MIDI search, and swappable drum parts. Audiodeluxe didn't have an upgrade when I looked, but I agree, they offer great deals. I didn't find a deal, just the $199 upgrade. Maybe it's just better to go with the flow, and match tempo's at some later date if need be? But you'd need a bunch of separate tracks or bouncing audio (3 tracks for kick, 2 for snare, etc) I'd be interested in knowing how to do that (academically) for laying audio, as I'm sure in the future it will make your recordings software proof.

I wonder where this is leading? This appears to be in-the-box drums, so they don't seem geared toward recording separate tracks. I especially like the George Massenburg presets. Some really good drum tracks don't sound 'in the room' like a drum does solo,īut that's an issue for matching references. I don't know how that transfers to recording. When I go back and forth, there are some amazing sounds out of SD3 that are just way more 'real'. If you don't care for earlier drum libraries from EZ2 and SD2, then you can delete those as well. But it turn out that it's in 5 libraries and if you don't care about surround sound (which I currently don't) you can not download about 90GB of the 230 GB. I wasn't so sure about biting, but in the end, I did.
