GGD has some great kits, but the fact that they leave the toms untreated and then EQ and compress the hell out of the kick/snare rubs me the wrong way and I had so many issues with Kontakt that I gave up on it. I've gone through EZD2, GGD and SD5, none of them hold a candle to SD3, IMO. Think I might pickup the Sunset Sound plugin too for the exact thing. If I'm being really anal, I'll kill the room mics in SD3 and run a separate bus for a room reverb using the Abbey Roads Chambers by Waves. I'm pretty sure I could automate it between Logic/SD3, but I'm lazy and this is how I've always done it. The mixer within the VST works well enough that I'm barely doing much outside of it, generally just a parallel compressor on a bus and then an additional reverb for the snare because I love giant snare sounds. The way it matches the velocities on it's own is something of itself, it's CRAZY how accurate it is at catching the subtle stuff like ghost notes. I just export the MIDI file and toss it in Logic where I tweak it in the piano roll. I drop in the snare track and it assigns a MIDI note and velocity to it automatically. While my drummer buddy has a fantastic Tama Starclassic maple kit, for getting that extra finishing touch/professional mix, I've been supplementing his kick/snare with SD3 in specific sections. Right now I'm doing some covers with my high school buds, the stuff we played back then. It's AWESOME and completely worth the cost. Within 30 seconds I was downloading SD3 and really, I have ZERO regrets. Therefore, proceed at your own risk.įWIW, I was in the same boat last year and ended up having a bitch fit when I couldn't get what I wanted out of EZD2.
