Installation very easy on the Mac (and PC so I think ...), only takes 5 minutes!

Warning, I note that at the moment is unstable trs on my iMac Core Duo. It was not until an update (possibly pay for APRS site) to make it work on new macs.

Modified: Apple has released a new version of Rosetta in MacOs10.4.8, who now marched trs well EZdrummer.

Well, I had another problem, the function that allows drag and drop in a few clicks of CRER a MIDI drum track samples from every evil work done on Cubase SL 3: in fact it is a Cubase problem that can only import files in new ways, and not on existing tracks. Only Cubase SX 3 does not have this limitation possde.

Setup is extremely easy, there is a flash tutorial on the site (http://www.ezdrummer.com). As a result, the manual does not exist, it is a 20 page pdf.

So if you are on your PC, I think this software works well trs, but on the Mac (at least Intel) is not happy at the moment ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

So I use it on an iMac Core Duo, 1.5 GB RAM, 2GHz. It is impressive as it consumes few resources. on the other hand, if the project is not 44KHz, loading kits trs long is because the software recalculates all samples. Prvoir then 3-4 minutes of loading. Otherwise, if one is 44KHz, was going fast enough.

So compared with which DFHsuperior j'hsitais, there is no photo, it's lightweight use. Sounds, trs good, do "only" 300MB memory thanks to the compression, unlike DFHS o it must be 1.5 GB of RAM to load a complete kit.

For cons, I RPET: absolutely unusable on Macs for now. Update: finally, now, if ...

OVERALL OPINION

I used two compounds at the moment, and trs sounds good. Trs trs even though: your exact silent fantastic, even a bit too! This means that a sound too perfect. So I think that term should not use too provided with grooves, unless it is only a model: you have to avoid all your songs have this same perfection, which Long is a bit rbarbative. Also, the beginners, one is tempted to put "girl" of killers, where a tape in every sense ...

Now, having said that, even when the sound is fairly typical POP / ROCK: The elements sound a little deaf, but we can change and snare drums for a more funkey! The Piccolo 13 "possde beautiful harmonics. In addition, the snare mic rglage spar top and bottom can change the color of the snare. I was afraid from not having DFHS enough room to maneuver, but in fact, no, tight deadlines to add reverbs, compressions, EQs, since all the tracks out on the squenceur, and the basic sounds are still quite natural.

The rglages microphones allow you to change even further color the sound. Only the bottom snare and overheads possdent the "bleeding", which allows you to hear the other instruments, DFHS o unlike all the microphones are bleeding.

So rev sounds good, and I look forward to the day set, and the Latin EZX expansion pack.

Why I did not DFHS? Because I'm not a drummer, and it seems that no battery or other electronic contrlleur south of death is not easy to draw something. So I do not regret this choice, this software is trs good, I would only buy it for three months, ie the Universal Binary version ... Update finally APRS several months, it is still not out ...
