Hoping future SDX's change their philosophy completely though, I think honestly they've dropped the ball here.Ĭlick to expand.How it sounds on its own isn't interesting? on its own, it largely sounds like thin drum heads tuned high in a gigantic room.
Superior drummer 2.0 how to change instal location upgrade#
The sampler itself is great, so I'm happy enough just paying the upgrade price for that. I'll most likely delete the included library as I can't think of a single situation where it'll do a better job than an SDX I already own.
Not the philosophy I'd go into a drum tracking session with at all. Being able to mix & match sounds is nice, as is some of the processing options to control the envelope, but it almost feels with this library that you have to go in with the intention of getting your hands dirty to get something exciting out of it. The tunings are generally too high/pingy/choked for my tastes too. Its more like a concert hall than some of the classic drum rooms previous SDX's have recorded in in the past (Henson/Avatar/Hit Factory/Warehouse/Blackbird/Grandmaster/Sound City). All the room mic options are enormous and frankly way too big for most drum tracking situations. The room they tracked in is enormous and is pretty noticeable on the OH mic tracks. I hate the kind of "one size fits all" approach where they presume a few plugins can transform a blandly recorded kit into something for any genre. I'd imagine they're pretty useless for 99% of people who visit this site. Seemed stronger on kick and snare than hats/OH/toms where it struggled a bit. Being unable to slide the detection point around means if it just isn't detecting something its hard to get it exact, and there's some confusing crossover between detection features that seem to have similar effects. The fact it works is incredible and it seems pretty good at picking things up. Tracker is 50% genius, and 50% confusing/lacking. Much improved on the old version and can be little to complain about. I have intentionally disabled any random aspects as drums are indeed not played randomly butĪnybody involved with making virtual drus just does not want to get this into their head.ītw the presets, including the ones from AS sound like crap to be honest.īought it this weekend, here are my thoughts: It still sounds very fake to me, i do not know what it is but the dynamics are way to abrupt and fast kicks sound I've set up a custom kit and put all layers to unlimited which should load the most available samples, however The crashes sound really nice, the chinas are pure fucking TRASH. Of course the samples are not the best for heavier stuff but there are one or two usable kicks, same with snares. Somebody one told me that SD2 already had like 50+ dynaic layers which i jsut can not believe judging from what it sounds like. I've expected flawles and smooth dynamic transitions but this does not seem to be the case.
My main problem with SD3 is not the sounds in general but how SD3 sounds in terms of realism. If you only know how to open presets and you what them to sound as you like but you know nothing about mixing then do not blame the samples. Presets show you a good starting point but if you like a kind of sound you have to make it sound the way you like.īecouse belive me, if you cannot get this to sound amazing then the problem it´s you, not that awesome drums perfectly recorded. You can make it sound in your way without sounding too much processed and that is a very good thing. I played with the diferent sounds and made some A|B tests, and finally I found that I can get better sounds from superior 3. and I found they more usable (you have to put them into your liking to make the test work). I had been using superior drummer 1.0, 2.0, etc, and I was using now made of metal and some samples I bought here.Īt the begining presets didn't impress me too much but then I play with the faders to made then sound like my presets in the amount of dry sound, oh, amb, and so on.
