Native
Instruments announced about the upcoming release of Studio Drummer. This
software will become available for purchase on the 1st of September.
Native Instruments promises that it will be an incredible realization of a
drummer in software.
Studio
Drummer is part of brand new KOMPLETE 8 that will be released on the 1st
of September as well. I will dedicate separate posts for each of the important
new instruments and effects of KOMPLETE 8 and will also provide the general
overview of this ultimate music recording software bundle.
Studio
Drumer, as Native Instruments promises, will be loved for its ability to let
musicians create realistick drum tracks. Studio Drummer will provide more than
3500 ready-made authentic grooves’ library. This is going to be really huge
library. I should admit, I have never had
any “Drumming” virtual instrument with such a huge groove library.
In
fact groove libraries are just great for making the creation of dynamic,
lifelike drum tracks easier. Back then, when I started using music recording
software, my drum tracks where hugely depended on groove libraries. Only after
getting enough experience I managed to create my drum tracks without using the
ready-made libraries. STUDIO DRUMMER is equipped with powerful effects and
on-board mixer. I think this will make the software able to provide enough
usability, tweakability and versatility for amateur and professional musicians
alike. For using STUDIO DRUMMER amateurs may just find the beat that suits the
track you are working on in the library. Fills and variations provided by the
library can provide just the the realistic flavor for your drum
tracks.Professional drummers can just hook their e-drums up and they are ready
to fly.
What
is more, all the 3500 grooves were recorded live to enough provide realism. These
grooves of various genres and styles are sure to fit the needs and taste of
just any musician.
STUDIO
DRUMMER’s has got three acoustic kits - a Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute kit,
Sonor SQ2 DRUM System and Pearl Masters Premium Maple kit. Kits include snares
by Mapex, Sonor, Ludwig and Masshoff and cymbals by Zildjian, Sabian, Paiste
and Masterworks.
The
software version of these drum kits required recording of the drum samples that
was done at Teldex Studios, in Berlin using the studio’s outboard gear and
mics. Studio Drummer has over 17 GB of 24-bit drum samples that make the
software able to fully deliver the original sound and responsiveness of the
kits.
Studio
Drummers mixing environment is going to be user-friendly. Native Instruments
declares that the musicians will be able to adjust snare bleed, control stereo
overheads and the precision of mic levels, room sound and effects.
Convolution
reverb, warm tape saturation as well as three major effects: the SOLID BUS COMP
compressor, TRANSIENT MASTER and SOLID G-EQ
provided by the studio effects section of STUDIO DRUMMER are all for
providing realistic sound of the famous drum kits.
