The best Toontrack Music Software reviews

  • Toontrack Superior Drummer 2.0
    « Most Natural Sounding Drum Sampler »

    Superior Drummer 2.0 is the flagship drum sample playback engine from Toontrack. It takes a little while to install the full software from all the DVDs, although you can choose to install fewer samples (fewer velocity layers, skip mic bleed samples) if desired or if your computer can't handle the playback. I chose the full install, but found that in practice and the mic bleed options are overkill and I hardly ever use them. SD2 can be triggered from e-drums, a midi keyboard, or the internal midi library. The initial midi mapping is pretty intuitive. Layering multiple kit pieces with 'x-drum' is much less intuitive. Toontrack provides some videos worth watching to get up to speed on 'x-drum' and midi mapping. The internal mixer works like a mixer in a DAW, so it is will be familiar to most users. The internal effects are decent compared to the the internal effects in other drum samplers (BFD2, Addictive drums. even the effects in Kontakt as a host for Studio Drummer). However, I suggest skipping the internal effects and use the multi-out option to send the unprocessed drums to your DAW. Using the effects processing plug-ins in your DAW will produce the best results. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Superior Drummer excels above the other drum software programs at producing the most natural sounding drums. Other software are more versatile (BFD2), while other other software sounds processed/radio-ready (SSD4). SD2 sounds the most like you are standing in the control room during a recording session. All the bleed options can make for a very realistic drum performance. My favorite aspect of the software are the tom samples. I think the toms in SD2 are much better than the toms in other software. I don't think the crash and ride cymbals in SD2 are as good as the cymbals in other software (BFD2/Zildjian Digital Vault). The hi-hats work very well with v-drums, which has been a problem in other software. There are few expansion packs available for SD2 if you want metal/country/jazz/vintage sounding drums. In my opinion, you can pretty much achieve any kind of musical style with the standard samples in SD2. The samples are recorded completely dry/unprocessed. The different musical styles of drum sounds are based more on post-processing than which brand of drum is recorded. OVERALL OPINION Superior Drummer 2.0 has many features that are top-of-the-line for sampled drum software. The interface is well laid out, and the samples were recorded perfectly natural. The SDX expansion packs also were recorded the same level of detail (if not more). If you are a tweakhead, you will never get board with all the internal routing and mic bleed in the software. If you want ultra-realistic, natural sounding drums, your best bet is SD2.

  • Toontrack EZdrummer 1
    « Its not addictive »

    The ToonTrack EZ drummer is a drum set simulated plug in that can be used in most DAW’s. I cant remember if you can use this as a stand alone application though (don’t know why you would want to anyways). Toon Track EZ Drummer Is often compared to Addictive Drums by NI. ToonTrack EZ Drummer is an affordable plug in if you are looking for those real drum sounds to add to your music. These types of softwares are really starting to push the live drummer of recorded music in today’s world because with programs like this you can do in midi what a real drummer can not do. You can just add all types of hits and drums when and wherever you want and that is virtual impossible for a real drummer to do. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The kits that come with Toontrack EZ drummer are pretty good kits, but I feel like it lacks in some areas. I really don’t like the Jazz kits at all I feel they could be better and this is where I feel like Addictive Drums excels better than Toontrack EZ Drummer. OVERALL OPINION Setting it up was easy, no different than any other standard plug in that you may use and the interface is right in front of you not a lot of menu’s and sub menu’s. Very easy to work through, I almost wish it was more indepth and a little more difficult to understand just so it felt like you could do more. The Manual wasn’t needed I have never opened it to know if it is clear or not which is a good thing because that means you wont need the manual. Overall, if you like Toon Track EZ Drummer wait till you try Addictive Drums. All I can say is you don’t know what you are missing if you have tried Addictive Drums. If you havent purchased EZ Drummer then go right for Addictive Drums. You will see a Major difference and be way more satisfied with the abilities of Addictive Drums and the kits that come with it.
