All user reviews for the EastWest Quantum Leap Stormdrum

There weren't any kind of compatibility issues , the program works on any platform either Windows XP, Windows Seven or MAC OS.

The book provided with the program was excellent , very in depth explained , the design also is a factor to consider , while reading the book you could get instant a pretty advanced understanding of the program.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The Software works correctly without any types of errors or mistakes , also the gear and configuration is very stable , Image Line did make a very useful and easy to understand Daw.

I'm getting great performances , mainly in creating my drum sets , different grooves and patterns.

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about Storm Drum is that it's based around samples , acoustic drum kit.
The quality of the samples is extremely high , and you have a lot of samples to choose from , different kicks , snare , hi hats , different grooves and panning , velocity and sound.

I do enjoy the fact that you can sync the tempo or the duration of other samples with the Storm Drum , which makes the creating process to occur much faster and easier.

The design of the program is very pleasant and easy to catch as well , everything its based on a basic concept which is found trough a nice interface , and another great thing about this product is that it has a lot of eq options , you have a low pass filter , a high pass filter , a great delay and many other effects options.

Precision and quality of the sound is remarkable , the drums sound very full , powerful and have a nice attack.

My opinion about the value of the price is decent , I think this is a very powerful drum tool to have in your arsenal , so without a doubt , price shouldn't be a problem if you're serious about your music.

Simple, no problem.
Kompakt is a motor, so reliable ...
Do not forget to install DFD APRS otherwise prvoir bcp RAM, especially for the "Tunder Together" (for fans of Hans Zimmer)
(I do not use the part Intakt ... (I do not like loops ...) So, I give not 10, because I only use a portion of soft.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I turn my laptop on a 1.1 GHz Duron with 512 MB of SDRAM. No problem with SX2, but prvoir an export audio quickly, if multiple VSTi otherwise overload the CPU. The samples are on an external FireWire drive 7200 rpm / min (a must).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one month .... I love it. Throw anything away. The sounds are standard. Batteries (especially snare drums) are excelentes. The percussion t'explosent the face without any piti. You're dedant. Beware of fans VLOC 127.
I love, love, and love.
Only BMOL, the kits are complete battery mapped south of the shots if you want several types of crashes on a given battery, must hack (especially if like me, you can not load too many instrument same time). But if I had more RAM .... So even when 10.

This VST installed brilliantly and as it should. It has worked nicely on just the one of my computers. I have used it on a low end computer (1.8GHZ pentium and 1gb ram) as well as my current (2.5GHZ Core2Quad & 4GB ram). On the low end PC it suffers from crashing, latency, lag and generally is unpleasant to use. This is because of the resources this VST demands. It is huge on the RAM and is really worth it in the end though. On the high end computer it worked amazingly and the sound quality is perfect. It installed perfectly and runs brilliantly apart for the odd few hiccups on loading a sound while the song is already playing. The library is easily accessable on the main window. They are all nicely organised through what types of percussion it is and what genre of music they come under. It works nicely in both of the DAW's that I use, Ableton and FL Studio.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

This sample set does take a long time to load in as it is Kontakt based, and a lot of the files are huge on the RAM usage. However the quality of the sounds make up for this, and these drums are brilliant for almost any type of music creation. I would even reccomend these to The-Dream as they have his type of percussion sounds in it. This is stable enough, however there can be issues with crashing when loading a new sound as the track is playing in FL. The obvious solution to this is save often and remember not to change the sound type when the track is playing so it won't crash. I have been using this sample pack for a few weeks now and have used pretty much every sound there is in the pack.

OVERALL OPINION

These drums are brilliant if used in the right way. They can be used for film scoring, orchestral music, RNB, and I'm sure they could even be incorporated into standard hip hop production too. The sound quality is amazing and the effects already added to the sounds are spot on perfect. Of course these can be removed and tweaked at any time. I am so glad I got this drum set now as they have really inspired me to make more music and given me lots of new ideas for songs. I would go as far as reccomending these to any producer in the world, even professionals if they haven't used it already as the sound quality is second to none.
