Product description - Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 | Hands-On Review
Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 is a virtual instrument and drum production plug-in, which offers 230GB of raw, unprocessed drum sounds, a comprehensive library of grooves, advanced sound-replacement and augmentation tools, and a built-in mixer to route and process custom kits, all in one program. This virtual drum studio allows producers, engineers, and drummers to create drum tracks with natural timbre and tone, or build otherworldly kits with layers of sound design, all of which can be played in stereo or surround sound for a complete immersive experience. Superior Drummer 3's library offers a comprehensive source of individually sampled acoustic drum sounds recorded by industry legend George Massenburg at Galaxy Studios in Belgium. It contains seven kits, twenty-six snares, and sixteen kicks, played with an assortment of sticks, brushes, rods, and more. All acoustic instruments are recorded in pristine 44.1 kHz/24-bit audio, with direct microphones as well as with an additional eleven separate room mics set up in a surround configuration, for playback on up to 11.1 systems. To expand the sound palette of your productions, the library also contains 350 vintage and classic drum machine sounds. You can also drag & drop your own drums or third-party samples, and save your custom drum projects for quick access. The plug-in is equipped with a Song Track window, which allows you to effortlessly build full drum arrangements right inside the program. The advanced search function helps you find the "right" groove from more than 1600 individually played MIDI files. You can then customize your drum parts using the grid editor. The Tracker provides seamless integration of offline audio-to-MIDI conversion. It detects hits with accuracy and speed, and is ideal for replacing and augmenting drums. Featuring 35 low-CPU effects and a library of mix-ready presets created by industry legends—Bob Rock, Andy Sneap, George Massenburg, and Richard Devine—the mixer turns each channel strip into a virtual sound processor that lets you bus, route, send, saturate, and blend your kits. The ergonomic GUI is designed to remove the separation between users and the execution of their ideas. It can be scaled to fit any screen and lets you detach windows to create your own layouts.
