Call me a retard, but I'm still confused about the way the Trigger thing works.

I already have platinum, and I just want the plugin, cause it looks bomb and drumagog sucks. I don't mind putting in some extra work to make my own .trg files or whatever they will be called.

Is this possible? And if not, are there discounts for people like me?

You can buy Trigger EX for $129. Not sure if there is going to be a less expensive way than that for those of us that already own Platinum.
 
I picked up 2 expansions (m&m + erp3) yesterday with no issues whats so ever. I'm so very tempted to get two more expansion packs, it's just I cant work out which pack I'm willing to live without..

fuck life is hard at times:Smokin:
 
GUYS WHO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DOWNLOAD LINKS!

I bet you're getting
"Oops!
"www.drumclassroom.net/exp" is not a recognized account."

Look at the address of the link you're about to click on, then click it and look at what comes up in the address bar, it's not the same! Obviously some weird fuckup on the confirmation.

Delete the following from the address bar "https://www.asecurecart.net/server/cart.aspx/" or Copy and paste the link instead and you'll be fine.

I had that problem clicking the link from the yellow matter site but clicking the same link from the e-mail I got worked fine.
 
Can anyone help me ? I have purchased rock and pop vol 3, downloaded the files , extracted the .wavs and gogs fine but when i try to extract the main expansion zip i get a "corrupt file error". I have tried downloading this file almost 20 + times now and every time it says "corrupt" support says its because of internet drop outs. I have even went to other peoples houses to try and download/extract this with there connections and still "CORRUPT". I have used the download manager they suggested, firefox and Iternet explorer and had problems with all of them. I had no issues Extracting the Pop/Rock 3 WAV/GOG zip or when i bought Slate EX a couple weeks ago. Anyone have any Ideas? Thanks
 
sorry to hear you're having issues Thomas.. so every time you download it, its corrupt? How big is the size of the zip file?
 
The file size shows 2127mb within the download manager but when its downloaded to my HD its 2,178,181kb.The wav/gog folder and install instructions extracted fine. and if i re download the wav/gog file it will extract with no problems. Just looking for some kind of solution. I have sent support emails today but have not had any response. Thanks for the reply slate can't wait to try these out!!
 
Slate, sent a PM last night. Still haven't gotten a response. Over 2 days now I've been waiting.

Was going to pick up the last expansion pack I don't have while the deal was going on, but since I still haven't gotten the first 2 I just bought............

1 megabyte is equal to slightly more than 1000 kilobytes (1024 if I remember right?) which is why the numbers don't translate equally.

anyone who buys the Metal and More Pack and makes the most killer metal demo using either a stock kit or customized kit, wins TRIGGER for absolutely FREE. Post mp3s here on this thread.

Fellas seems to be missing that sentence here frequently, huh? Anyways, I made a song & tried out SSD for the first time,
using samples that are in the 'Metal and More' pack.

I blended Black Kick + Kick15 and Snare15 + Snare22, then used some compression on kicks, snares & toms and EQ'd
every sample abit within Kontakt, no outside post processing. I also put alot of room on snares on purpose.

I'm sure there's alot of guys who've bought the 'Metal and More' pack, and even more guys that are interested in TRIGGER,
so let the competition begin, shall we :headbang:

My first expedition to the Slate world: Tokyurot - RunZelt
 
Ok I solved my issue!!!!! I have always used Win RAR as my extraction software but since i have been having so many issues with this one .zip file I decided to try Win Zip and to my surprise it worked and I'm using the expansion right now with no issues (as of yet) So i guess the problem wasn't in my connection at all it was an issue with the files interaction with Win RAR During extraction because Win Zip worked fine......

Yup, trying to impose a base-10 numbering system on base-2 (binary) never works out quite right (thanks Computer Architecure I :D)
 
I bought Rock and Pop Vol. 1, it contains the following

Essential Rock/Pop Vol.1

Kicks:
ACKick
Kick 1
Kick 12
Kick 14
Slate Kick (but only as Wav, and not as Gog? strange though)

Snares:
Slate Snare
Snare 3
Snare 4
Snare 7
Snare 14
Snare 21

Toms:
New Maple Toms

are these the only toms in that package? cause i allready have them with metal and more i think:lol:
 
depending on the pack you get, you keep adding more toms. Eventually, there are eight unique tom sets.
 
I don't have much to add but I just wanted to say I admire your (Steve's) customer service and the lengths you go to in order to try and make your customers happy.

When I have the cash to drop on something recording related, I'll be hitting some of your stuff for sure. I originally went with 2.0 and Metal Foundry because I thought I liked tweakability, but after struggling to get sounds I like out of it, I think I need to go with something like you're offering, and be able to get good sounds straight out of the box. :lol: I used to think I was a fairly decent producer until I joined this forum, and now I realise I'm mainly a composer who wants amazing sounding demos without having to put too much effort into it. :lol:

Anyway, as I said, I think is is amazing that you come on a forum and take all that is thrown at you. I look forward to hearing good things about Trigger.

Even though I ordered my expansion packs saturday and the connection keeps timing out when i try to download, i agree. Slate definitely takes care of us sneap forumites. Still haven't resolved my problem, but I can only imagine the hassle of what they must have to deal with and i'm not even finished with the computer i'm building that i plan to use SSD on so i'll patiently wait.
