Im considering buy Jamstix 2 / Metal to make some quick drum tracks, any opinions / reviews?
Thx guys
 
I bought it quite a few month ago - but due to the fact that the band is more important than homerecording I didn't spent that much time on it.

Bottom line is that you can get very realistic drum patterns with it, that's for sure. The different drummer really differ from each other and there are almost too much possibilities to influence the artificial brain of Jamstix.

Check it out, I'm pretty sure it will please you. It's the only drum VST that I know where drums sound like real drummers :rock:
 
Thanks for the review Wichita ;)
Did you use the MetalPak drummers?
My idea is use it with my SDD EX
 
The Metal drummers are awesome. I'm a big fan of Jason (Bittner), personally - really tight fills and accents, but it tends to keep more of a rock-metal, Judas Priest/Iced Earth feel as opposed to uber-precise tech-death. For that, well, you've got Mike (Portnoy) and Neil (Peart) to play around with.

Funny enough, at least in my experience, the only thing Lars is good at is sounding like Lars. :P
 
Well I finally got it yesterday and it really rocks. Also you can feed it your own midi clips and jamstix bring them to life with more realism, lot of controls to get what you want.
Works very well with SSD ( Im only doing an straight midi mapping in reaper )
Excellent product and a lot of fun to jam with!
 
Glad it helped wichita.
Another tip: if you import a midi clip, in the BAR Menu you can use "Turn Groove Into A Style" to keep the midi clip as a new style also.

Reading the manual I founded that you can also export via "drag and drop" your song parts, dragging the Part Name into a track of you DAW or even the whole song, dragging the "Song" Label. Works great in reaper.
