I purchased SD3 yesterday not knowing exactly what to expect. My expectations are now somewhere miles behind in the dirt - it all sounds incredible. And when I say "all", I mean all. There are no throwaway kits in this collection as I've found with other drum software companies. There are no throwaway features, either, from effects to drum replacement, it's all of the highest quality and usability. Thank you to Toontrack for doing this right and getting the best man for the job, George Massenburg. George, you nailed it. Wow.

Yeah that’s a good point, I know a lot of drum simulator kits and love many of them but I always “throw away” some kits but in this case I can use every single drum from every kit, it never fails whatever style u want

This is a serious deal, i bought mine 2 weeks ago it's the bomb. People should stop cracks this is not an easy thing to put together. Just in the beginning of watching this video i realize that the money was not worth it with all the tons of quality drums you'll get. Thanks Toontrack for all the hard work.

Love seeing a 902 on the kick for such a high end session. I never understood why you never see them, in amongst all the Beta 52s, Audix D6s and AKG D112s. Wildly underrated mic for kick, low toms, and bass cabs.

How do you keep all that in perfect phase?!

@iamanactualcat 3 жыл бұрын

I can imagine that you'd have a hard time keeping it in phase by recording a full kit but since they're recording piece by piece I don't see how this would be an issue as you can phase match individual hits digitally. Just my take, might be wrong!

How did you keep kit's position stable during recording without a carpet beneath it?

@EmilianoCaballeroFraccaroli 6 жыл бұрын

The drums have very good feet, and the wooden floor of Galaxy does not slide. But as you can see, there is a small carpet underneath the kick.

Anybody know what mics they used on the "Amb Near" channel and "Amb Mid"? I also seen in a list of micks best for SD3 that they had Sennheiser e902 ?! Picture of the rigg also reveal SM47 are used on snare, but it could of cos just be a photo taken during try-outs.

@toontrack 5 жыл бұрын

Amb Near and Amb Mid are both the Ehrlund EHR-T. This is a dual diaphragm mic and each records 2 channels. The Sennheiser E902 was used as the inside kick mic. The final choice on the top snare mic was a Sennheiser 431 that Mr Massenburg has owned for many years.

Does anyone know which microphones in this setup are the "amb mid" microphones? I thought it was the EHRTs but it seems like they are only using two and there is an stereo "amb mid" and a stereo "amb near" channel in the mixer and I am trying to work out what hte difference is between the two in terms of their placement in the room.

Nah, The Beatles were over-produced, everyone knows recording with one mic to wax cylinder was perfectly fine. Also, I'm only using this computer because my carrier pigeon recently met a grisly demise. Also, last I checked, I don't think The Beatles weren't recording a drum sample library.
