Steven Slate Drums 4 question
I just bought this on a whim. I'm used to Addictive Drums and Strike, which both seem to have more mixing capability than SSD4.
Is the modus operandi for this plug-in just to use multi-out, and just mix as though it was audio?

The samples might be in a proprietary format, I'll let you know when I get it installed.

Re: Steven Slate Drums 4 question
The SSD4 samples are indeed proprietary format (.ssd / .ssi). Most of them are very good.
SSD4 is meant to be used in a "multi-out" setup. It has no plug-ins inside its mixer, though it has simple attack, sustain and release for each drum instrument (which I find useless in its current implementation). It has extensive controls for levels, pan, bleed levels, bleed routing and creation of busses, though. I've used Superior with its built-in plug-ins, and I clearly prefer to just forget about those plug-ins (inferior quality) and route out the instruments and mix in the DAW. Using multi-out with SSD4 can give very nice results, in my opinion. Maybe I can do a quick video to showcase a raw kit and a mixed one. |

Re: Steven Slate Drums 4 question
SSD 4....Great drum library. I'm a drummer myself, and own all of the major libraries. Triggering from a V-Drum kit and the way the Slate samples sit in the mix, I prefer them over anything else for rock, pop or country.

Re: Steven Slate Drums 4 question
I should add that I typically print all the channels to audio and then do all my processing in the DAW as if it were a live drum kit multitrack.
