This is for engineers and producers who want to use versatile samples without sounding like they’re using samples. When we set out to create this library, we wanted to offer something that was different from what’s currently on the market. We realize that while many great libraries exist, they tend to have a sound that is easily identifiable. Our goal was to capture sounds that any level of engineer or producer could use in ANY style of production while remaining raw and neutral in tonality. Furthermore, BOTH Processed and Unprocessed versions of all samples are provided in the library. This allows you to mold the drum sounds exactly as you see fit.
No. During development, we tested this within multiple genres of production and mixing to ensure that they would hold up across many styles of music.
TCI files are designed specifically for use within Steven Slate Trigger 2.0. They provide an easy way to accurately replace or augment existing drum tracks with accurate dynamics.
There are a few ways these samples can be used. They can either be manually placed in your DAW by importing the audio files (Wav files provided), or they can be implemented in your mix using Slate Trigger via the provided TCI files. You can also load the Wav Files for “one shot” style implementation. Additionally, we have provided DRT files of the direct mics for users of Massey DRT.
Not with these! While complete sound replacement using “one-shots” could definitely lead to fake-sounding drums, we’ve provided users with TCI files to ensure dynamic and realistic drum replacement/augmentation. Additionally, having natural-sounding drums as a sonic starting point allows for diverse and easily blended drum sounds.
