Steven Slate Drums EX as AudioMIDI no-brainer deal at $20

[James Steele]

Glad I held off for a bit. We have till Feb. 28 on this deal. It truly is amazing. Did someone say hard rock / metal drums?

Their Metal drums EX is only $59. May have to get that if I like the sound of the$20 EX. Looks like it has a "Dream Theater" kit, a "Pantera", "Metallica" and others.

A rather surprising double-post just a couple of topics up from the original. Whatever.

Yes, I've heard the server response is a problem. I figure I can wait a few days or do it in the middle of the night when it's less busy.

Pretty hard to argue with $20 for a drum library.

Not sure what you mean by "each element on its own MIDI track for import". Import from what into what? Isn't it set up more or less like Battery, with the ability to default it to collapse to one channel output pair and use a single MIDI input assignment?

I'm talking about Superior Drummer 2.2. You can audition the MIDI grooves and pull them into DP either as a complete MIDI mix (the whole kit on one MIDI track) or as separate tracks (hats only, snare only, kick, toms etc) so you can send each MIDI track to it's own instance of SD. I'll have multiple instances of SD with only each sound so I can use DP instead of SD's mixer because you can't buss to a environment process (verb) and the plugs are limited to an EQ and dynamics and I like to smack them with 1176's and 1073's... Works great though. I like SS samples though... they sit well in a mix without having to do much... which is the way it should be.

That's weird, because I never saw your original post on this topic, yet it says it was posted earlier. Yes, pretty hard to argue about it, even if it is taking so long to d/l.

The same goes for BFD2.

Awesome feature I think! Makes pattern construction more intuitive. These are the only drum VI's I've heard that can actually do anything close to metal... you can't tell they are computer generated!

Great minds think alike. Be grateful you're not the site admin and now have to go spend time merging these topics.

I'm finally able to get to the downloads.

Yep... I just ponied up the $20. Gotta try out those Zep drums... play some "When the Levee Breaks!"

[buzzsmith]

Just ordered myself.

Got the code and am trying to figure out when I'll download 3.5 gigs.

Looks like there are 6 or 7 files so that means the dl will require some periodic attention, so I guess overnight is not an option.

Most of the files are small, there are a couple big ones. The download went pretty fast.

A new record has been set for zip files inside of zip files, it's like Russian nesting dolls.

I just clicked on each of the download links and selected save to disk and had Firefox work out the order. It's a little slower that way but I could sleep through it.

Anyone havin' probs with the EX_002.zip file? I've tried to download it twice now and I keep getting a "safari domain error-0" and the file won't decompress. The first time I downloaded it got to the decompress part ands would not finish. The 2nd time it only got halfway thru the download before I got the same error. All the other files downloaded just fine.

As I just tried the 3rd download, it only got got to 100mb before I got the domain error.

I guess I'll send a msg to Slate. maybe the servers are overloaded again?
