Steven Slate DELUXE DRUM LIBRARY Now Available for TRIGGER


The Steven Slate Deluxe Drum Sample Pack for TRIGGER is the product of three long years of tireless effort and dedication to the art of recording drums. And until September 1st, it's available for an intro price of $99 (normal price $149) in our online shop. Steven Slate Deluxe Drum Pack - Slate Digital

TRIGGER USERS WILL HAVE TO UPDATE TO THE NEW TRIGGER 1.66 IN THEIR ACCOUNT TO USE THE DELUXE PACK.

The Deluxe set adds 16 Snares, 14 kicks, and 19 toms to your Trigger Drum Library. And these new drums are unprocessed, but recorded with such amazing detail that they will sit in the mix effortlessly. If you want to customize the drum samples, they respond beautifully to eq, compression, and other effects.

What's more is that the Deluxe Samples give you more power to get the tone you want. Every drum has its own close mic, overhead, and room channel, and all snares contain bottom mic samples for you to get just the right amount of sizzle!

Combining both the classic Slate Samples and the new Deluxe samples is a breeze using TRIGGER's six sample channels, and it sounds amazing! Check out the AUDIO section for a few before and after demos:

Steven Slate Deluxe Drum Pack - Slate Digital

In the Steven Slate Deluxe Drum Sample pack, you'll find all kinds of drums from modern Noble and Cooley to early 60's Ludwig! It even contains samples of a Gretch Jazz Cocktail kit.

With TRIGGER and the Steven Slate Deluxe Drum Pack, you'll have a powerful drum tool for all your music productions. Check out the intro video by clicking below.

The Deluxe Drums were an extremely time consuming, expensive, and exhausting drum pack to make. To transfer them to TRIGGER took a lot of programming, mapping, custom license making, and hundreds of man hours. Trigger is a completely different piece of software than SSD4.

Therefore, I would hope that you would find it feasible to pay $99 for them, and I think it's well deserved. Once the intro price expires in September, SSD4 Platinum users will still be able to get vouchers to get the TRIGGER Deluxe pack for $99.

I aim to charge very fair prices for our software, despite the excruciating R&D that we put into our products.

I hope you all enjoy these great samples.

Cheers,
Steven

Just use the midi drag and drop from Trigger and play it through SSD 4.

This is extremely fair considering how much work creating and editing samples takes (trust me I know ). You can't even buy a decent snare for $99 (well maybe a cool acrolite!) so to think that you could have dozens of great usable snares/toms/kicks for $99 is pretty astounding actually. Great work man!

Okay im planing on buying. I just wanted to make sure that there was work in transferring from ssd to trigger.

I hope you all enjoy these great samples.

We're working TRIGGER 64bit for Mac. As some of you know, ilok1 products do not work as 64bit for Mac, so this will require the migration to ilok2 if you don't have it. But we'll have a great deal for TRIGGER users of course on ilok2s if they don't have on. Or you can just get one free when you buy VTM

I look forward to hearing some great music using the Deluxe Drums to give you kit a facelift!

Cheers,
Steven

Noble&Cooley Alloy - Very Cool! I`ve had them drums close to 20 years, among the best! You should have done the rest of the kit too, Steven

But any way, nice to see some more toms, greart work!

Hi
I'm trying to use the coupon code I got ages ago. But it doesn't seem to work.
When clicking "recalculate" the price doesn't change.

Anyone had any luck with this? Or know how it works?

Cheers

For clarification I have Trigger & SSD4 (and VCC & VTM too ). . . . are the drum sounds in the Trigger Deluxe Drum Sample pack new and different then what is in SSD4? Or they the same as SSD4 and just ported over to Trigger?
Thanks,
Joe

+1

Seems like they prefer making quick Dollars with new products over fixing severe bugs in their existing software and boasting how long it took to code some fancy new stuff!
Still waiting for months and months and months for a fix for the known "Cubase 6 Mac space bar start/stop GUI freezing in 64bit mode" in VCC and SSD 4. It´s a real PITA to use and the bug is long known to (and confirmed by) the Slate team.
And there are more bugs to it.
Only chance is to make this public again and again here

No more Slate products for me.

Snare sample with the snares off

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the special offer on the deluxe drums!
I would like to know if this new library includes snare samples without the actual snares on? (just the drum)
I know this had been requested in the past, but I can't tell from either the demos or written descriptions if this has been implemented in this new release. Even if it would be done for one snare, that would be great and very handy to use!

Thanks in advance for your answer.
Cheers!

Agree, Steven, you have lost me as a customer. Your tech support is just PR so you look like you care when you are on public forums. Good luck to those who have no bugs, because if you do with Slate, then you are truly screwed. No more new products, fix the old products and respect your long paying customers.

Slate pm'd me when I had a problem with SSD4 and he walked me through the whole thing through emails throughout the day. I think that was Boxing day too. Sorry for your frustration Freaken, I feel for ya. Just wanted to share my experience with Slate products.

Slate seems to be a pretty decent guy, I don't think he quite realizes the BS that his support team dish out though. They just don't give a toss.

As an existing owner, I'll have to pony up the $99 for these but I've got a buddy who's about to buy Trigger.

So does the current Trigger Platinum for $249 include these or are they a $99 add on pack for all?

Bought these, all good. Would still like some more really dead and deep samples/sets (think 70's ...), but a great addition to the existing Trigger library. Like the room/OH/bottom possibilities as well, and we're starting to move away from the 'finished' sound of the existing library to something that you can massage a bit more.

My only bugbear with Trigger is that you can't group the response settings for multi-sample configs. It's a pain to have to go through and adjust the velocity and dynamics 3 or 4 times.

Plus ... no automation in Pro Tools (or perhaps no automation). And finally, seeing we're making lists here (!), I'd really like to be able to do what you can in Drumagog, where you can just select one layer, for example, the soft hits.

Great work though, and nothing else comes close.

That's why I went with Drumagog instead. No problems here...

Trigger has automation in Pro Tools and you can select one leayer like: Hard hits, soft, rimshots. If you need even less dynamic changes just tweak Velocity a bit.

The new deluxe samples are in my opinion superior to everything else done by slate (except the first deluxe kick/snare). I hoped they would be good but they are amazing. There's nothing metal/modern to them at all (since I really dislike super fat bottom and +5khz knock) , great quality. That is just about everything I need, I have a few old cool single shot kick and snare samples that I've tried to make work when I couldn't find the right character but the new slate samples pretty much replace them to.

I find people arguing about the price silly, I would happily pay three times as much although I bought everything done by slate.
