Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 Ask. Audio. Superior Drummer 3 represents a massive upgrade, with artificial intelligence just one of its major new features. In this world first review, Shane Berry takes you in depth with Toontracks latest. Superior Drummer 3s core sound library was recorded at the extraordinary Galaxy Studios in Belgium. Its main studio, Galaxy Hall, is a 3. The hall has a reverberation time ranging from 1. It is quite possibly one of the quietest recording spaces on earth. Despite its size, background noise measures a mere 1. A SPL, and the air conditioning is so quiet it cannot be detected or measured by music recording microphones. In other words, its a perfect place to record drums. Galaxy Hall live recording space. The studios themselves are a series of concrete bunkers that rest on custom designed architectural springs that bring the resonant frequency for each room to less than 3. Hz.  The custom springs decoupling Galaxy Studios from Earth. Tlsflags from webkitwebviewgettlsinfo need to be 0.

The eleven centimeter thick studio glass between galaxy hall and the control rooms weigh in at a ton apiece. In addition, there are least 3 doors in between every unit ensuring the measured result  1. B between each room is a world record. The glass had to be specially made, and installed with special cranes. Why all this detail about Galaxy Studios and the set up Well, under great secrecy and multiple NDAs I, along with a whos who of audio press, was brought there by Toontrack to physically listen to the drums in Galaxy Hall, to have a first hand experience of the space, and the recording process, and to spend a day getting acquainted with SD3 and its creators. Legendary Sound Engineer, Audio Pioneer and Inventor George Massenburg sets up a pair of mics to record some drums at Galaxy Studios, Belgium. Meet The Team. We were taken through the mic setup and recording process by legendary audio engineer George Massenburg himself, and superior drummer Norman Garschke was on hand to play the drums for us in real time. We were able to ask him to play softly, loudly, busily, minimally, single shots, rim shots, rolls, runs, and everything inbetween. We were then taken into one of the three main control rooms looking into Galaxy Hall, the Neve 8. D control room, to see and hear how this incredible 1. George Massenburg explains details of the drum recording process in the Neve 8. D control room. It is impressive at every level, and I can tell you first hand using SD3 is like having a portable galaxy studio that fits right into your DAW. Interface. As you can tell already, this upgrade is a serious go big or go home affair, so its no surprise that SD3s interface has been completely revamped and modernised. It is now resizable and can be expanded to any screen size, and the four main windows  are detachable and scalable too. Furthermore, the entire GUI can be scaled larger or smaller to suit your viewing needs, useful if one of your screens is a little further back, or you are working on a cramped laptop. As someone with multiple screens in my studio, GUI scalability is a deal breaker when investing in plug ins, and the ability to arrange plug in windows to size and taste across multiple screens is very useful, especially the ability to detach the Mixer and get a full spread across a second screen. Each drum features its own individual custom graphic making it easy to spot both in the main drums window and also in the Search Instrument window. This is awesome for a visual guy like myself because Ive already memorised the look of a few snares that I like, but couldnt name them if you paid me.

Selecting a single drum no longer requires holding down the alt key. Simply clicking on any drum will outline it in blue and switch out all the property boxes on the right side of the drums tab for the selected drum. This allows quick access to a host of the usual editable functions such as level envelopes, MIDI mapping, velocity curves and so on. Here the snare is highlighted and all of its properties can be edited in the boxes on the right. In addition, If you press ctrl alt, a velocity pad will open under your cursor wherever it happens to be hovering in the interface even if it isnt the main drum window and this pad will trigger the currently selected drum. Hold down ctrl alt and an audition pad pops up wherever your cursor is in the interface. Trial Techniques Philippines Pdf.

The drum library shipped for review included six full kits with fourteen total options like sticks, rods, brushes and mallets, all recorded in 1. Galaxy Studios is the home and flagship studio for Auro 3. D technology.  Heres how the default kits sound straight out of the box in stereo Ayotte  Gretsch Pearl Premier Ludwig Classic Yamaha The six kits for review Ayotte, Gretsch, Pearl, Premier, Ludwig, Yamaha were specifically chosen by Toontrack and George Massenburg to cover a wide range of musical styles, but they only form the basis of what is possible. Any existing SD2 and EZ Drummer library kit or individual kit piece can be loaded into SD3. This is made all the more easy with the new Search Instrument window that enables filtered searching by library, drum type, kit piece and so on. The possibilities are endless already, but it doesnt stop there. Loading Custom Samples and Sound Design. SD3 now supports importing third party samples. You can replace an existing drum, add a custom sample as a new instrument X Drum, or add it to an existing instrument or Stack. With the Stacking feature in SD3 you can layer multiple sounds to play back at the same time and trigger them with the same MIDI note. Stacks replace MIDI Nodes for power SD2 users out there. I stacked over twenty samples onto one hi hat and get the impression you could load a hell of a lot more. Later in this review I have some audio examples of what possibilities stacking brings to drum programming and sound design. Speaking of sound design, a few new features in the property boxes bear quick mention the ability to add a pitch envelope to any instrument and each of its articulations and the ability to do the same with a reverse function. What this means is that you can reverse the centre hit of the snare, but leave the edge hits playing forward while wildly pitching the rimshot of the same drum. Then just for hits and giggles you can mess around with the pitch envelope of a cymbal for good measure. Pitch and Reverse example Tuning. Pitching the drums and tuning the drums are now separate functions. Tuning has been vastly improved with two separate algorithms optimised for cymbals and drum heads respectively. Once your instrument is tuned you can process it and SD3 will load the rest of the articulations for that instrument in the new tuning. Its really musical and one can get away with some pretty heavy detuning before losing the feel of authenticity. Here is the Yamaha Kit heavily pitched down with separate processing for the cymbals and drum heads. As an obsessive drum tuner, this a welcome improvement. MIDI Mapping. One of the core features of Superior Drummer is the ability to edit and map MIDI for optimising realistic drum behaviour, so I was surprised to see that MIDI Mapping is no longer a main window.
