I know you said SD3 was too expensive but it does come down to a reasonable price quite often in sales so maybe it would be better to wait, it would also allow you to use your EZ libraries with it. ![]() Neither comes with much in the way of grooves, if you need those then these are probably not your best choices. Modern and Massive is a smaller library and less diverse but overall I prefer the sound, it could easily cover anything from pop/indie/rock/prog/metal. SSD5 has an absolutely massive sample library and covers a huge amount of ground from a nice jazz brush kit right up to rock and metal. Modern and Massive has ‘Turbo’ processing which effectively allows you to blend from a fully unprocessed sample to a ‘mix ready’ sample or anything in between, you can do this per instrument or for the whole kit at once. Both contain raw unprocessed samples, with SSD5 also coming with an additional large library of fully processed kick, snare and tom samples should you want them. I’d probably choose either Steven Slate Drums or Getgood Drums Modern and massive. So what are the other options you personally preferred? So they claim it's a smaller type of upgrade, basically.Īnd someone here said they didn't like the libraries added to BFD3. Someone on theįxpansion forum said they're beta testing the new BFD4, but they mentioned how it should take quicker to release after beta testing compared to BFD3 because "BFD3 was a complete overhaul". My fave is the splitsticks instrument, which is perfect for a lot of the rootsy Americana or Tex-Mex stuff I write.Īs I said, the price for SD3 is too high for me. I still have and use several of their excellent kits & wish I had bought more. My biggest regret is that Analogue Drums no longer exist. However I have downloaded version 5 which does work & sounds pretty good.Īll generating more confusion, but it really does come down to trying as many options as you can before spending your hard earned dough.įWIW I personally believe that SD3 has the most "joined up" way of operating, particularly now that EZBass and EZKeys can now be interconnected using the new-ish Audio Sender. #Addictive drums vs superior drummer 2 upgrade#I went through nightmares with Steven Slate Drums Mk4 when it first came out, even getting a free upgrade to the Platinum edition, none of which ever worked on my computers, even with one of there very helpful & friendly support guys taking over my machine in real time from USA (and I lived in UK at the time). have you tried all the freebies yet? Always worth a go. There are any number of other drum romplers out there. No idea what BFD3 is like these days but the original developer has I believe, sold out to one of the box shifters, so I would be nervous of the future of it. I recently sold on my Addictive Drums products & dumped BFD at BFD2. I started out with EZDrummer & then bought the original Superior Drummer, so I have a long history with them. Who knows if they'll decide to release a revamped new version which will make buying version 3 right now a bad deal?įWIW I am a beta tester for the whole toontrack range. There are a bit more options with BFD3 that make it a bit more affordable, but as I said I don't know about its age. #Addictive drums vs superior drummer 2 license#I might buy SD3 if I can find someone who resells a license for a decent discount, but I can't find any. #Addictive drums vs superior drummer 2 Pc#I recently built a new PC with SSD and 32GB of RAM, so I think it should handle the heavier libraries. I know AD2 is also compressed and processed so it might have the same issue. In Ezdrummer I think because the samples are premixed there were situations I just couldn't make it sit well in the mix I needed. I write music with progressive influences so it needs to allow for more depth and body. I'm not necessarily looking for the overly-compressed sounds often found in metal. More simple/straightforward, lighter on memory, but just as well featured. However for an occasional/hobbyist I'd recommend Addictive Drums 2, ![]()
