Hi,
I am considering to buy the Progressive Foundry SDX. I had the Progressive EZX before, liked the Kicks, Snares and Cymbals but disliked the spongy and wooly sounding Toms. I watched several YouTube clips and judging from these clips the Toms sound much better in the SDX version.
But to be really sure that I buy the right library I want to ask you for a big favor: Would someone who owns the Progressive Foundry SDX please be so kind to load the attached 128 bpm MIDI file and bounce it to a stereo file for me using the “Luke’s Kit” preset of the SDX (judging from a couple of YouTube clips this seems to be the most “metalesque” sounding preset)?
Thank you very, very much in advance!
Cheers
Sven
Unless someone beats me to it, I can bounce it for you tonight
(unless someone tells me that doing so violates the user license).
That‘s very nice of you, Scott, thank you!
And I don‘t think this would violate the license agreement. It‘s just a 30 sec file to give me an idea if the library would work for me. Just to help me decide if I should invest 140 EUR and buy it.
Oh, and if you think that any other factory preset works better for metal than (or as good as) „Luke‘s Kit“, I would be grateful to get a short clip of that, too.
Hey Scott, is your offer to bounce the MIDI file for me still valid?
I’m sorry if I’m a nuisance. But I currently have a good offer for the SDX and must decide in a timely manner if I accept it.

Yes. Sorry for the delay. Been extraordinarily busy with travel and unable to get to this as quickly as I’d hoped.
…and I should have asked this previously:
At what sample rate would you prefer the bounces?
I typically work @48 kHz in the studio & at home, but can do them per your preference.
Probably tonight.
I work @ 44.1 kHz. But if it‘s easier for you to bounce @ 48 kHz, that wouldn‘t be a problem, I can convert it to 44.1.
Thank you very much, Scott. I‘ll have to wait 3 more hours to download the Razor Wire preset sample but so far especially the Luke‘s Kit sample sounds very good. And just as I suspected the SDX’ Toms sound sooo much better than in the EZX version. I really don‘t know why they made them sound so mushy because apart from that the EZX sounds really good.
Well I guess it‘s time to spend some money for the SDX.
