Whitten The Studer A800 emulation is supposed to be incredible.
I heard this from a couple of friends too.
Whitten They wouldn’t be the same as they were recorded by a different team, using high end hardware.
Of course in some respects an 808 is an 808, a 909 is a 909.
Whitten Yeah, good idea.
It has to be someone credible though.
‘White reggae’ really has a bad reputation.
Whitten You would use your laptop as a sample playback machine.
You’d have to record the drum sounds to your standalone recorder, probably by using audio out on the PC to audio in on the recorder, then the recordings would act the same as a recording of acoustic drums.
You’re missing out on many benefits of EZdrummer though.
The ability to completely change/edit song arrangement, drum parts and drum sounds right up to the final mix of your project.
Recording to a separate tape machine means you have to decide on the drum parts and drum sounds fairly early on, then you’re stuck with that decision.
WhittenThere are a couple at least in ‘The Classic’ midi (I know that doesn’t really help).

Not sure why you didn’t wanna answer this
Because it’s better for potential customers to be advised by current customers, not product makers.
Also….. I’m not the worlds biggest expert on metal/hard rock drum tones.
Whitten Maybe some ‘Best Of…’ midi compilations in certain styles (Unusual Time Signatures, Rock, Ballad, Indie)?
You could group together a few from me, from Nir Z, Peter Friedlander etc…..
WhittenUugh, I was avoiding answering this.
On the bass drums we went for full and fat. There is one clickier bass drum, which would probably need to be eq’ed further to achieve the classic clicky metal bass drum.
The snares are certainly ‘meaty’. I’m not sure if they sound like they are being hit hard. I’m generally a hard hitter, but I find when recording a fuller, warmer sound is achieved by not thwacking the drums. They certainly aren’t played with a limp wrist though.
What I find is that because the basic sounds were well recorded with quality equipment you can pile on the EQ without turning up ugly artifacts.
Really I think you need an objective opinion from another user.
I’m totally proud of the product and I think it sounds completely different from other Toon products (including C&V), but the popular hard rock and metal tones were not really on the agenda when we recorded this sample set.
WhittenI wouldn’t mind.
Maybe after a certain time lag.
I know I’m constantly seeing requests for simple, song style rock grooves around various forums. I tell them that’s what I’ve done, but they have to buy C&V or The Classic to get it.
Whitten I don’t know anything about Mixcraft.
What i do in Logic is find Toontrack grooves that are close to what I need, then drop them onto a midi track in Logic.
Once a Toon groove is on there I can do anything I want. Cut out any number of bars, rewrite bars, repeat certain bars, move the bars around and rewrite bits as my arrangement progresses. basically I do everything in Logic’s arrange and note edit windows.
WhittenThere’s a varied selection of 3/4 and 6/8 grooves, simply played in the C&V midi.

What do you mean by that?? How do you do it?
If you own and use Superior, EZdrummer and it’s expansions appear as sound libraries inside Superior, just like a Superior expansion (SDX).
Whitten You can use EZdrummer inside Superior.
I sometimes work at 96Khz and Superior loads fast.
