Steven Slate Drums 2.0: SIGNATURE DRUM KITS... DEMOS!!

[Slate]

whats up fellas. Just workin hard here ironing out the kinks. I don't want to release this thing till its 100% kickass, no BS. So bare with me, I promise you I want it out just as much as you guys want it out.

All of 1.5 is included in 2.0, but 2.0 just adds a TON more, even besides the modeled stuff, I have random drums I sampled that are killer too. The Dream Theater kit is my favorite btw, especially the snare. And btw the upgrade cost from 1.5 to 2.0 will be cheaper then the new 2.0, so you will not get screwed if you buy 1.5.

[Keiffer]

maybe update your site with pricing and allow pre-orders...

 

[aramism]

Yeah. He's saying if you buy 1.5 now, and then upgrade to 2.0, it would be cheaper then buying 2.0 when it comes out.

well looks like my credit card is about to get used and abused!

From what I gather, the UPGRADE from 1.5 to 2.0 would be cheaper than 2.0 itself... The way you put it I understand that 1.5+2.0 upg < 2.0 retail, which doesn't make much sense to me...

So, who got it right?! :zombie:

 

[Slate]

I always reward people who buy early, which is why the guys who initially got the 1.0 collection actually get everything for FREE. To answer your question.. 1.5 is $269 2.0 will be $329 (or two packs of $180 each) and the upgrade is $30 dollars. So 1.5 plus upgrade equals $300, so you save 30 bucks.

Thanks for clarifying this, Steven!

I'm going to seperate it evenly as I can, so each pack provides a good amount of everything. But in the end, I really want the user to end up getting both packs... not for any greedy or monetary issues.. but because I think the whole collection really kicks ass and I would hate to have them miss out. But the half packs will make it a bit easier on the wallet so I'm glad to do it.

Anymore Birthday Specials coming up?

I was so close to buying 1.5 that day but missed it.

My BD is on the 20th of Dec.

 

[migreeni]

what I think I might do is do a written drumagog tutorial with some really cool techniques to get it really rocking with my samps... this will take less time then the drumagog audio/video which would then take time away from the release of 2.0. I did shoot a DRUM MICING and MIXING VIDEO with two amazing drummers and Audix Mics, its already been shot and will come out soon.

Whoa! Waiting for this! Just what I need

 

[aramism]

just ordered mine can't wait. 1.5

 

[blackbird]

Wow...my birthday was on Nov 30...Where is 2.0?

 

[Slate]

still tweaking some of the models, but most of the mapping issues have been solved. what this means is, as soon as i'm done with the models, I have to form the kits in Kontakt and it'll be ready to go.

 

[theunforgiven246]

Just want to clarify, will there be maps for battery?

 

[aramism]

just got my copy of 1.5 and it is sweet

 

[fistula]

so hows going with your text Drumagog tutorial ?

 

[Slate]

tutorial I'll throw out immediately after the 2.0 release... speaking of 2.0... I bring you the drumkit inspired by drum sounds of Led Zeppelin:

The Led Zep kit was a lot of fun to model, especially because the music is just so amazing.

So again, drums only, with mix compression:

Scott from Vita Music's version ( www.vitaetmusica.com ) with bass and guitars and even more insane compression:

and the actual sounds coming off the keyboard, no further processing:
