Steven Slate Drums 2.0: SIGNATURE DRUM KITS - Page 42

Bang · 12th June 2008, 07:01 PM

Thanks Junk, I'm really happy with these new demos because they really show the variety of what we have to offer... and only a small part of it since this is only 8 out of 36 kits.

Today we sample more cymbals, we have a vintage Paiste soundedge 2002 Bonham Hat to complete the already authentic sounding Old Zep kit, as well as more Paiste Signature crashes and hats.

Our new Standalone player will have two different room samples (Z4 Slate Room and NRG Recording Studio A), and tons of cool options. It will also support ALL CURRENT VDRUMS, with extra attention spent on special scripting for the hi hats. We already have a TD3 in beta that is working flawlessly.

As for tape and what it does to the drums vs digital... it does add a touch of harmonic richness to the transient, as well as make the sustain a bit more open. Its more subtle then you'd think but it was enough for me to want to record the whole collection to two inch. The thickness of my drums comes from careful use of eq and a tiny bit of compression with really good gear. I'm talking Neve, SSL, Trident, API, Distressor, DBX... the good ole boys. It also comes from having a really flat and trustworthy monitoring environment. And the rest is just years of practice.

BigJunk · 17th June 2008, 08:05 PM

This may be a stupid question but have you found any plugins to actually do what your hardware eqs and comps do? Like have you tried UAD dbx, or the new Waves JJP? Can plugins give the thickening effect?

I would pay to watch you process a drum with eq/compression from raw to "slatenized".

also i'm still loving the P.O.D. record with your sounds. I've been listening to a lot of top 40 radio lately too and i can hear your drums on a lot of that stuff as well. Congrats man!

I believe Bang has praised URS CSPro many times before.

NandoOg7 · 19th June 2008, 05:59 PM

Anyone else having phase issues when trying to re-enforce kicks? (having drumagog samples the same volume as original track, which has no phase issues at all.)

Bang · 19th June 2008, 09:43 PM

Junk I like URS stuff. There is quite a bit of dilly dallying about this plugin and that plugin and waves this uad this.... in the end the URS to me sounds analog, reacts the way my analog eqs react, and has different sounds all in one GUI. I use it, I love it. Not saying waves and uad don't make good stuff, but I had a choice of plugins and I chose URS CSP...

Maybe after the new version of the drum software is done I'll do a tutorial where I take a drum from recording to editing to "slatenizing" as you have called it

Nando, what exactly do you mean by "re-enforce" kicks? What exactly is phasing in your situation? As soon as I understand that I'd be glad to help you out. I'm assuming you're having issues lining up the original kick and the sample but let me know otherwise if I'm wrong.

No, actual frequency phasing. Low ond will be phased out on some hits. I will post some audio tonight. Thanks!

Bang · 19th June 2008, 09:55 PM

how are you using the samples? are you using any of the Z's on top of each other BESIDES Z1/Z3 and Z4? None of the Zs are to be stacked except with the Z4.

Let me know your configuration.

Just checking in with some updates on the upcoming 2.5 update which will introduce a Standalone VSTi version, a BFD2 version, a Vdrums and eDrum version, NRG Recording room samples, and improved Midi performance. Also more velocites, more hits, same fat and punchy and 3D drums, same variety of 36 drumkits, and same great taste.

Check out the enhancements with two demos of the DEFTONES kit as played on VDrums by drummer and midi programmer Dan Kirk:

www.stevenslatedrums.com/demo3/KirkTone1.mp3

check out the snare action:
www.stevenslatedrums.com/demo3/KirkTone2.mp3

all kits will also have the raw and natrual NRG room A samples too

Jake 2.0 · 26th July 2008, 12:32 AM

Rocking!

Bang · 30th July 2008, 06:23 PM

thanks Jake. Our new 2.5 update will be HUGE, we'd call it 3.0 but we've already made the boxes

It will include all new room samples from the famous NRG RECORDING room A, one of the very best drum rooms I've ever heard. It will be unprocessed so you can compress and eq to your liking, a great compliment to the PREPROCESSED room sounds that ship with the current collection. The standalone version will also have some of the very best plug and play VDrums presets for all current Roland VDrum products (from TD3 to pro TD20) as well as presets for other eDrum systems.

There will also now be a standalone VSTi RTAS plugin that ships with the collection with custom graphics and features catered towards the unique Steven Slate Drums system.

However, BFD users will be happy to hear that we will ALSO have a BFD2 expansion pack with the same great features and two room sounds, but with the ability to use the drums in the amazing BFD2 environment that FXPansion has so carefully crafted over the years.

Whats more is the each midi system (standalone or BFD2) will include Drumagog GOG files and raw wav files to use for drum replacement. There will also be a new Paiste cymbal pack to add to the already hefty Zildian/Sabian pack, with ultra detailed hi hats that play and sound like none you've heard yet.

More demos coming soon. But eDrummers, midi programmers, and anyone who loves amazing sounding drums, start getting excited.

Purusha · 30th July 2008, 07:13 PM

Hey Steven, really nice work you are doing

One question, how do I use the samples from 2.0 in Contact?

Animus · 30th July 2008, 07:23 PM

Can't wait!

Bang · 1st August 2008, 05:32 PM

Purusha, once you get 2.0, there are presets drumkits that will work flawlessly in Kontakt 2 or 3.

We are quite excited about the new updates... MORE DEMOS SOON.

GPl · 2nd August 2008, 02:18 AM

Wow, this is gearing up to be quite the release. Can us old farts pre-order?

rock/pop band
2 songs are in the player, check it out and let me know what you think these songs are completed and mastered by the wonderful brad brad blackwood (highly recommend him for mastering.
(mixed,produced,engineered by me)
i blended ... kick 1, maple toms and birch blended, snare 10 Z2 and 8 z2 rooms blended in with my snare and my triggers of the drum set. they were a great help as my room is pretty dead and i wanted some natural reverb and added balls on the drums.
as always steven slate helps out my dead drum room! with his wonderful samples, btw bro congrats on getting picked by sweetwater i caught your product in thier huge mag. thanks for putting out a killer product i highly recommend it to everyone i know and yes i actually use them! they arent just another folder to look at on my computer

any questions feel free to leave a reply and i will do my best to answer, thanks guys!

ryangeller · 9th September 2008, 05:30 PM

just loading in SSD, and although I see all of the samples in my folder in the finder, drumagog isn't recognizing about half of them.

I took the contents of V1 and V2 and combined them in a folder called SSD Snares (for example)... is it possible that Drumagog can't see files if there are too many in the folder?

I've restarted Logic and the computer, have copied the files from the DVDs 3 times, and have reassigned my gog folder...

Any ideas?

Bang · 9th September 2008, 07:57 PM

Drumagoag doesn't like all those files in one folder. You gotta just put the SSD GOG folders in the GOG FILES just as they are... in the various KICK, SNARE, and TOM folders. Then you'll be all set.

Everyone who has ordered SSD 2.0 as of August 1st gets a free upgrade to the amazing SSD 2.5 NRG EDITION...

new additions to 2.5:

-raw NRG RECORDING room samples from one of the very best drum rooms in the world

-new Paiste Cymbal pack, featuring some of the very best samples cymbals (all cymbals recorded to 2inch)

-new standalone Midi Player with tons of features and easy tweaking

-OPTIONAL BFD2 expansion pack (instead of standalone player)

-the very best VDrum and EDrum support

-new midi grooves played by top drummers

-new STEELY DAN modeled signature kit

-three new ELITE snares and kicks

-more stuff coming!

ryangeller · 9th September 2008, 08:10 PM

Did you abandon your drumagog tutorial? I can't seem to find any info about it on your site any longer.

Keep up the good work.

2.5 will have a snare called the SLATE snare (yes I named it after myself.. sue me)... its very RATM.... (rage against the machine)..

where´s the BANG-Kick?

VitaEtMusica · 23rd September 2008, 08:25 PM

Seeing as SSD 2.5 is right around the corner (Second week of October?), I figured we should get pumped up about this release. It will probably warrant a new thread so we'll have to bid a fond farewell to this one. I'll get some samples up as soon I get my hands on the new stuff. In the meantime, here a few tunes finished this week with SSD v2.0. The first two songs are written by Mark Moore (ATFallen) and the string arrangements by me. We recorded strings at Dark Horse Recording in Nashville (Franklin). Mark uses SSDs exclusively.

I may post some of his harder stuff too...

http://www.vitaetmusica.com/outgoing/I_Belong.mp3

http://www.vitaetmusica.com/outgoing/Rebirth.mp3
(make sure you make it to the end of this one- glorious)

These two are my songs with the Dark Horse strings and SSDs:

It will probably warrant a new thread so we'll have to bid a fond farewell to this one. I'll get some samples up as soon I get my hands on the new stuff. In the meantime, here a few tunes finished this week with SSD v2.0. The first two songs are written by Mark Moore (ATFallen) and the string arrangements by me. We recorded strings at Dark Horse Recording in Nashville (Franklin). Mark uses SSDs exclusively. I may post some of his harder stuff too... http://www.vitaetmusica.com/outgoing/I_Belong.mp3 http://www.vitaetmusica.com/outgoing/Rebirth.mp3 (make sure you make it to the end of this one- glorious) These two are my songs with the Dark Horse strings and SSDs: http://www.vitaetmusica.com/outgoing/Saving_Sarah.mp3 http://www.vitaetmusica.com/outgoing...ern_Lights.mp3
