Los Teignos « Between BFD and Addictive and EZ-compatible »
Published on 05/29/12 at 04:21I left a EZdrummer upgrade and the installation went very well. The plug is available in 32 and 64 bits, it is stable and comes with EZplayer Pro, an app that allows you to compile the different grooves battery app to build the perfect track.
In terms of ergonomics, I think the app lacks some clarity, with different menus: the choice between kits, wands, effects presets, it has an interface that has a few too many drawers for my taste. Personally, at this level, I prefer Addictive Drums.
Practice Tip: banks can be read from EZdrummer Superior, which is handy because it has a single VSTi to manage everything.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
My PC is a Core i7 3.2 GB with 16 GB of RAM and an SSD hard drive hybrid. In this context, even the loading of the heaviest batteries no problem, as their treatment elsewhere.
OVERALL OPINION
For me it is really a compromise between the approach of a BFD sound engineer and musician approach an Addictive Drums, ie we have very detailed Dry batteries, without feeling , as in BFD, to be confronted by issues of mixing (phase problems with the microphones, etc..).
I have 2 banks in addition to those originally provided: the Music City and Custom & Vintage. The main criticism I could make the software is its lack of presets ready-mix side of the battery. With Toontrack, one must buy extra, and it's painful, where an Addictive Drums is more generous. So when I want a drum sound occurs at the point of sounding artificial, I go to Addictive. And when I try something more natural, with detail, to Superior.
Second default, no bank is rubbed brushes provided with basic software (just hit the brushes).
Third defect: as in the full range Toontrack, and as with competition from elsewhere, naming is imbitable grooves and there is not an intelligent search engine to navigate in it: we start from a little fishing .. .
Finally last, default: the side a little too wise for banks proposed. I loved the approach of the Twisted Kit from the same publisher or that of 8-bit kit FXpansion and we would be delighted to see such a little exotic land banks in Superior: when a real big bank percussion Asian, South American or African, for example. When is a bank, the bronx Drum '?
I nabbed the software upgrade when the EZdrummer was on sale, so I made a good deal and I do not regret my choice, but even at full price, the quality / price seems good to Toontrack sleep as much as to change its software by offering regular MIDI grooves or for additional sound libraries (but it will buy).
I would not recommend it as a basis for beginners who may feel a bit lost. Start with a EZdrummer sounds very good. But if you already have some experience with virtual batteries, this is an app that you will not regret to have added to your arsenal.
