2 - How does SSD compare to Superior Drummer 2? I use virtual kits for my mixes so far, but I'm having trouble lately getting SD2 to sound good in my mix. I find that to make SD2 sound good requires quite a bit of processing within the DAW (EQing, compressing, etc...). Its my impression that SSD is already "pre-processed" out of the box...am I right or wrong on this?
3 - Any news on SSD 4s release date? I dont want to buy 3.5 only for 4 to be released a week later!
4 - Ive listened to the demos on the SSD site, but is there any sort of demo / trial mode for using SSD so I can "try before I buy"?
Thanks guys!  |
SSD is amazing.
That said:
1) already your HD is TOO full. Maybe time to clean shop. SSD is worth it.
2) not quote from the company here, but no matter what sample libs I have, every single one requires mixing (what you are calling processing)..theres no way for any sample dev to pre mix any sounds for your mix, but they can sure get them sounding good out of the box, ssd does this whether that be from adding a touch of eq or proper drum tuning and recording, or both!
3) no idear
4) I was unable to find a demo before I purchased SSD, but I expected that from a sample lib, I have never seen any demos for any sample lib other than some Native Instrument 'demo content' or without using
