Not quite sure what you meant by this, as anything you buy is always at the discretion of some recordingВ engineerВ (drums/tuning/mics/mic placement/preamps/room) unless you record it yourself. I got into BFD whenВ demos started having toВ soundВ like polished masters. Isn't always an option andВ especially so for drums.

I did this in Session Drummer3, Ad2, SSD5, MTPowerdrum, and now hear ya, but, I turn all that off anyway as I typically prefer to choose my own devices and use discrete outputs so that I have individual faders for each piece in CbB. AD2 has plenty of fx available for individual pieces. I do like SD3 better than AD2, but youвЂ™re mistaken. That's all I can offer, but I hope it helps.

A big benefit is that the drum samples sound quite good with nothing on them. Over time, I have created a few defaults kits that I use as a starting point and go from there. The f/x are very good, with lots of presets for all drums. Because SD3 has a complete mixer, I only need one instance of it to get my sound. With AD2, I have to use multiple instances of it to process individual drums where each instance uses only one drum, thus, I sometimes have to use 4-6 separate tracks to get the sound I want. I always start with bare tracks and apply f/x only as needed to individual tracks or the whole kit. The big difference to me is the fact thatВ the on-board mixer in SD3 can apply f/x to individual tracks as well as the entire kit, whereas AD2 f/x can only be applied globally to the whole kit. Keni, I have used AD1 & 2, as well as SD2 & 3, and after 12 years of using VSTs for drums I prefer SD3.
