Fields of Rock SDX - The Making Of 

It makes sense in a way ! The further from real quality music the more sales !

I'm hoping you'll come out of RU-vid retirement to review this one! :)

Missing your contents a lot Mike! Would have loved to hear your thoughts on this one! Cheers from China 🍻

Thanks Mike!

Please come back, Mike! I still rewatch your videos more than any others.

As a drummer I have to agree. These SDX packs and the leaps and bounds of e-drums in recent years have revolutionized home recording for drummers.

Glad you like them!

That's possible now (or at least an approximation) using the Add Instrument function, the trick is to route the mic and bleed channels for the extra tom or cymbal to a new channel (one for the OH, one for the Room mic etc...), that way you can pan them however you want. Of course being able to just grab any instrument and drag it to any position would be amazing, so I'd also be really happy if that was added to SD4. Anyway, hopefully that was a bit helpful. Cheers.

@@alexsartandmusic I couldn't agree more that adding a feature that goes beyond the add instrument GUI (which puts it in the upper left in SD3) could take advantage of auto panning by default to where on the GUI the instrument was loaded. We don't quite have that ability because the starting kit limits the available slots that are not up on the left (and have a "type"). So for e.g. I can't add a 2nd kit if a kit only has one. And I think it should be possible to just switch to a "template" (if they implemented it) that contains 2 kicks - but somehow make appropriate "decisions" as to how to not lose the current mixer routing of the template I had.. Re the physical modelling, that stuff has benefits (less RAM needed, plus much more velocity layer realism - levels well beyond 128) and a MAJOR drawback - Libraries like MODO Drums use a LOT of CPU. (Pianoteq uses a lot as well, but it is much better programmed than MODO Drums IMO). So MODO Drums doesn't even have the full capability, with its demanding nature of programming skillor CPU load or both, of sounding like a real kit in all its dimensions (especially their hats which are not even physically modeled) - and its multiple times more of a CPU load than either BFD or SD3.

Thank you for pointing this out, we will have a look (listen) at this!

Most likely at the Rooms of Hansa. I agree the drum sound on "Superunknown" is stellar.

I think a close sound can be obtained using 14x6.5 Pearl Sensitone Custom Alloy and 14x6.5 Steel DW Collectors Brass from the Darkness SDX library. But there will be a lot of work to do with the mix.

Hey! Glad you like it. The song that you hear in the intro is the "My name is Bob" audio demo for Fields of Rock SDX, which you can listen to on the site. Check it out! www.toontrack.com/product/fields-of-rock-sdx/

Out now! Check it out at toontrack.com 👍

More info at 8:18 :) A cool kit to say the least!

Go get ample sound. Id rather these guys keep putting out drums and bass.

I want ezguitar too

@@Amusiastudio I like Ample Sound stuff. And I agree - leave Toontrack's to what they do a great job on already. Don't spread your wings too wide, these days they might just get clipped.
