Drummix FREE
Hi guys
It is now 4 years since I released MyDrumset and since then the name has changed to Drummix with several professional products! MyDrumset was made as a test to see if I could make such a complex plugin.
The recording of the drums was done very quickly with only me on everything from drumming to engineering. As you can imagine that is not a perfect way to record a drum kit and if you add the fact that the drums weren't tuned, one of the cymbals had a crack in it, the heads were old and I did everything in about 2 hours, it's nothing even close to the sound of the Drummix line of plugins. Still, I released it as a free public beta just for fun and the response has been marvellous. Not only did this plugin beat two of the well-known brands in an anonymous poll, but it also got raving user reviews and was even reviewed in Sound on Sound!
The beta version had 3 presets: Rock, Rock Olympic and 70′s. The drums on all presets are a Ludwig Fab Four but on the olympic version I used an old Olympic snare drum. The 70′s preset was the same drum kit with a blanket over the toms and snare. The sound of these recordings has been used by thousands of musicians / engineers and has for many a sought after "indie" sound.
Well, I thought this old BETA version needed an update!
All the limitations of MyDrumset are now removed:
* The interface is completely new and very similar to the other commercial
Drummix plugins
* I've added mute, solo, phase and panning
* I have put all three preset's into one plugin (previously 2)
* I have included a stereo version of the plugin for a quicker setup. No
need to mess with outputs.
* The drums now start on C1
* The drums are now closer to GM map
* The hihat switching is now included
* Low CPU and RAM usage
