EZ Drummer

For the month of May Toonrack is giving away some pretty good stuff, here's a free download of EZDrummer lite. It's a little stripped down but still really useful and effective. Well worth the time and effort plus the price is fantastic.

Superior Drummer is by far and away the best Drum Rompler out there...

here's an unmastered/unmixed song, straight from the DAW and it still sounds good...

That does sound pretty good, is it easy to use? I'm trying to learn digidesign strike and it's pretty complicated. I'm going to ask a stupid question, how do you record individual drum tracks? do you just open it up in 8 tracks and solo a different drum in each track?

That's what I like about it, it's easy to use.. most everything I do is because I downloaded a preset from some engineer I like for 10 bucks. I do very little tweaking to the default mix.

I also use Addictive Drums and while it sounds very real and the samples are great, i have to really work with it to get it to sit in the mix.. and the snare selections suck. Superior has great snares.

I love the sound of the snare in your tune, nice and tight.

What are you using for your guitar sound? Line 6? Eleven?

I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that you use that amp and get the amazing tone and quality you get. You should write a how to thread for recording quiet guitars in the recording section dude, your finished product sounds awesome.
