All user reviews for the Steinberg Groove Agent 3

Groove Agent 3 has two new pieces called the Special Agent and the Percussion Agent. The Special Agent has a very real studio drummer to your song or set up and some really good acoustic drum kits. The Percussion Agent is more for the grooves, beats, and patterns. But the ability to create all of my drum needs in Groove Agent 3 has been awesome!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Installing Groove Agent 3 worked well with my Mac that has 2 GB of RAM and 4 GB of HD space. I am running a G5 2 GHZ system that has dual core processing. It has never crashed or caused any problems on my Mac and on my PC running Windows 7 it runs good, but not as fast as it does on my Mac probably due to the 1 GB of RAM on my Windows 7.

OVERALL OPINION

I have reached out to Steinberg many times for support issues and they have always helped me without any charge. This program is very easy to use and operate and the interface is easy to work with and it is no confusing. All of the sounds are of great quality and has that “real” drummer feel to it with the patterns and kits. I have many drum programs, and the reason that Groove Agent 3 is different is because it has a smoother more user friendly interface and great kits to go along with it. Also it comes with enough kits (without having to purchase expansions) to cover all of my styles of music that I create.
The fills and effects are very good and I recommend purchasing Groove Agent 3 for that alone. The humanized effects are a joy to work with and the price of this plug in makes it a must have in my book. It works perfectly and does not crash at all.

No worries about the install, running Nuendo 3 with nickel, the manual is clear.

EDIT after a lot of use: This software is buggy svrement it does not work in 48khz, he planted rgulierement Nuendo. Seeing the mcontentement users, Steinberg released an update (3.0.1) which also is a little buggy (the style and kit are responsible badly), they released a "hotfix" since that is still unstable .

EDIT: more problems with the latest version of Nuendo, phew!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Much more CPU intensive than Groove Agent 2 (almost 30% of CPU with 2.6Ghz PIV), the kits are longer load.

OVERALL OPINION

For someone who does not plan its MIDI drum pattern, groove agent is a marvel. The new version is excellent, it offers new features:

- You can import your own samples (two per midi, a dry + wet) o cratif dcupl potential (for there is only against USER location in the window main, open another window to load the home-made kits is not very practical if you want to quickly compare two samples), it also lacks a preview samples and can not be as import of sounds 44100Hz.

- Can be opened in same window both instances thanks to Dual mode

- The spcial Agent (loops recorded by a pro drummer) sounds terrible

- The percussion agent allows for small percussion arrangements without having to open another instance (dual mode)

- Lots of new styles and kits (trad African vintage rhythm boxes ...)

EDIT: I've Steinberg trsdu that bone out of the market as software is buggy even shameful carrment

EDIT: that is they have six months before it works

So the installation is done without problem.
not on incompatibility.
The manual should be reviewed.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

On my PC with 4 gigabytes of RAM, so it works.
It remains fairly stable.

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last 15 jours.Rien very surprising, I've been around.
I was at BAR.
The sound of all the patterns are really DRAWN, and all the same, it gives the same severe
impression that we never change the preset. There is really but really nothing in this program.
TO AVOID IMPERATIVEMENT.Allez rather see on the internet free, you will surely find
better.
Value for money, it's pure scam, this software is not worth the 50 euros.
No I would do in any case the choice.
