NI Studio Drummer jeeez rant

[pifos_2]

ok, it's cheap, atm 75 euros and it seems that i can sound pretty good.

BUTT what a pain in the ass.

First off, it took me 2 hours to figure out how to work the multi out proprely.
in few words, when you make any changes in the multiouts you have to take the plugin off the track, close pro tools, restart pro tools, open the session, insert a new kontakt instance and then load the outs as a default. then finally the outs will show up as plugin ins for your auxs.

now that was already a pain. and now i notice that nothing is panned by default in the mix. wtf is that. why didnt they pan the HH and toms, like in SD 2.0.

i mean come on, when you open SD 2.0, everything sounds already quite good. in studio drummer the room is too huge and the toms aren't even panned.

i still have to sink my teeth into this one, and especially the 3 kits, but i am not impressed.

i love that the ram is loaded out of pro tools via the kontakt memory server though. but yaaa.

back to SD2.0.

Could you not make a preset with all of the drums panned the way you like?

Well, the multiout thing is a kontakt issue, you have to do the same thing with slate for example.

As jeid stated, the workaround is save the config you like as a multi ( for panning and routing) and the multiout as a default.

what i meant is that the samples are not panned. in sd2.0, everything is panned already for the best phase possible.

it's not such a big deal, i just needed to rant a bit

Yep kontakt isn't the greatest with the whole multi out crap.

I don't like to knock NI as I feel their komplete package is probably the best bang for your buck I have spent , but the fucking multi out on kontakt player is so fucking annoying ....
