It’s how you position microphones right from the start, how you place drums in a room and how you ultimately process each individual piece to fit in a mix.
If writing and performing a song is magic, the art of engineering and shaping sound is the alchemy that makes music transcend and become legendary. In addition to the seven individual kits, a large selection of extra snares, kicks and cymbals are provided, making The Rock Foundry SDX an incredibly broad palette of raw material to use to craft drum mixes within the powerful framework of Superior Drummer 3. It’s configured as two individual SDXs, one ‘Main’ and one ‘Mono.’ The ‘Main’ features six kits captured with a traditional multiple microphone technology whereas the ‘Mono’ configuration was recorded using a minimal setup. The Rock Foundry SDX was recorded at Bob Rock’s choice studio The Warehouse in Vancouver, BC, and designed to give you the most flexible selection of drums, ambiences and options possible. Obviously.The Rock Foundry SDX features a staggering 65 GB of raw, unprocessed drum sounds recorded by arguably the most notable, influential and sought-after engineer/producer of our time: Bob Rock. The expansion pack costs £125/$179 and requires Superior Drummer 2.0 to be installed on the host machine. To create the SDX, Toontrack employed drummer Tomas Haake (of Meshuggah fame) and seven colossal drum kits to compile an incredible 300,000 individual samples. As with the all the Superior Drummer 2.0 sound sets, there are a range of range of mic choices, too: two sets of stereo and mono ambience mics two sets of overheads a ‘snare trash’ mic three choices of close-proximity snare mics, and a range of kick-drum options, all of which can be mixed using the Superior Drummer user interface. Metal Foundry users can build a virtual kit from a choice of 12 different kick drums, over 40 different toms, 15 snare drums, and probably enough cymbals to sink a small fishing vessel. The Metal Foundry contains, as you might have guessed, drum samples suitable for use in rock and metal music. The second expansion pack (SDX) for Toontrack’s virtual drum software, Superior Drummer 2.0, has been announced.
