SD3 is pretty raw too when you take everything off, but it makes me feel like what I am hearing has been just a tad pre-processed/leveled, etc. The sound of the kit samples with all fx off, is the most raw sounding. However given what you have said in regards to raw sounds, my vote would be for BFD3. Whether you use a top-tier acoustic drum sampler, or record yourself hitting objects around your home, they can all be shaped to achieve a similar thing in the end. They are after all just percussive noises, intended to thump, thwack, doong or whoosh and then get out of the way of rest of the track. Hell you could even go against all conventional wisdom for the style of music you play and stick static electronic drum samples of a tonality that isn't normally associated with your genre and as long as the mix slaps, people will not care, not one iota.
Now as for which one you wind up using won't really make two s***s of a difference to the end listener.
AD2 is more aimed as having a ready-to-go premixed sound to insert directly into a mix, sort of like you outsourced to a session drummer and engineer for the drum parts. SD3 and BFD3 obviously have presets but also are aimed at giving the user the ability to take the raw sounds and craft their own sound from scratch. Personally I think the drum options you listed are for different purposes. SD3 has some goid sounds but the interface is similar to aspects in AD2 which I don’t like, but learn to live/work with.įinally, my question! I’m interested in hearing opinions regarding these drum synths to help me decide on a direction to choose. I prefer the BFD3 interface, but the company’s situation makes me hesitate in the extreme. I also have SSD5Free and MTPower Drums (and Session Drummer 3) but none have what I’m looking for. If I had credit I would buy better, but that is sadly no longer an option. So while I’m glad to have something, too many years stuck with this. They never allow us to hear the actual samples, only samples with lots of processing. I bought another snare yesterday only to discover my dislike for it too. I’ve managed to cobble something together that isn't too bad but I’m so tired of living with less than satisfying sounds. Over time I have bought extra drum packs/kits and individual pieces.
#Addictive drums 2 sonar full
I had a full set of triggers from an old Ion kit (not MIDI) and it did work with the DDTI but, again, I couldn't really play it and don't have time to dedicate to becoming even a simplistic real time drummer.As I haven’t managed the $400 tag on Superior Drums or BFD, I continue to struggle with AD2 which for me was bundled with Sonar. I still have a DDrum DDTI and a kick pedal trigger and dual zone mesh snare, which I am still trying to figure out is a better way to do things than using the Push or keyboard. My drum parts tend to be very minimal as they represent the thing I play least well. Next up, I have to turn on the Push 2 and use it with AD2 and try making an actual drum part. I mean, it does get you a certain way down the path. but these collapse to a single visual representation and internal mixer channel.ĭ) You can only use the built-in "delerb" FX in the internal mixer. I have been using Addictive Drums for awhile in Live but have the following frustrations.Ī) Note names not shown when working in a MIDI clipī) Notes not auditioned by clicking on the vertical keyboard in MIDI clip (maybe this is a Live setting? seems bizarre not to be able to audition notes before you drop them in)Ĭ) The actual drum kit may have multiple samples available, especially for snares, high hats, cymbals, etc. I might need to get a larger monitor eventually. How about "drag and drop it into the browser area"! Seems cool although somewhat complicated. I was thrown off by the use of non standard terms like "unpack it in your library". Well I finally got this working last night with some measure of success.
