Steven Slate Drums 4.0

[Loren Littlejohn]

I've had issues with plugs not being seen in the past when there somehow was more than one in the same directory. Fucking weirdness.

Also make sure the extension didn't get changed or something?

 

[Derykus]

Can anyone post like... er... good sound examples?? The ones I've heard so far so very robotic to me. Not what I was expecting at all.

+1

Anyone have clips they want to share?

Here's another clip: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2183128/SSD4_Clip_Jan8.mp3 - yeah I know it's compressed as fuck, blow me

I think Slate took things to a whole notha level on SSD4, definitely one of the best drum libraries out there now IMO!

I'm sure the software will keep evolving and improving too

Badass ! Full-mix would be nice.

I've done a cover using Slate drums. Getting my disclaimers in, but the guitars were all one take and I don't know the bass for this song. The drums are one of the presets with zero post processing on them.

Apologies if I've ruined this Foo Fighters song for you.

Guitars sound a bit weird and the hi hat playing sound a bit robotic but that's very cool otherwise.

I actually think that guitars sound wonderful! Mind sharing your recording chain? Drums are obviously too raw, but I understand that was the purpose...

 

[jeid]

You're right about the drums, very raw.. but that was indeed the point. These kits are very well suited for rock music and I suspect with the right post processing on them, would sit in any mix. I love the raw sounds.

Guitar tone was

Me
Gibson Les Paul Classic with a Gibson 500T pickup
Peavey 6505 (red channel, gain set to about 3, low at 4, mid about 5 or 6, high about 7, res at 4 and pres about 7.. I think)
THD Hotplate set to load and using the direct out (this was as much a test for using this as it was for using Slate Drums)
FF800
Catharsis s-pres 8 impulse
Slate VCC set to API with the drive at 3 (I knew they used an API board to record this album)
Post EQ (HPF @ 70Hz, LPF @ 10kHz, cut @ 139Hz, cut @ 843Hz and cut @ 2.45kHz)

There was 3 tracks of guitar. One a side and a lead guitar down the middle.

did someone already built an io-map for sd2/ez drum midi files? if so could you post a link please?

Hmm. Okay, that's quite a bit better than everything else I've heard.

 

[RichMinerva]

I have emailed you and support and still no answer? I want to give you guys some more money !!

Ditto and since I own all your products a bit of customer service wouldn't go amiss

 

[Slate]

we're almost caught up with support so it should be really soon.. terribly sorry about the long waits.

That's a relief lol

 

[RichMinerva]

Have to say I love the new version. Here's my test using the beta....it's changed a bit since getting platinum. Unfortunately this doesn't show off the velocities as well as it could and the mix could be better.

 

[ShamStalin]

Slate you should do special offer for UM members hehe :]

 

[kronk_1985]

Going to be triggering SSD4 for a project that we're working on in the next week or so. It's the first project for our new recording studio. Exciting stuff. Just stoked that the new Plug came out in time to use it. The Black Beauty snare is worth the price of purchase. Imo.

the start totally reminded me of static-x.

 

[Monsterbash333]

cross grading soon so stoked!

With a crossgrade do you still send a tangible product (box,disk,ect..)?

 

[The StabbinCabin]

This is going to seem totally fucking retarded- but I've only really been on Slate Digital... Where can I buy the .TCI's from all the kits with the deals for the 3-4 packs? Slate Drums only has the virtual instrument... I don't think SweetWater has the individual kits. I'm retarded if it's just because I haven't upgraded Trigger.
