Crap... I forgot to dl the PS RL kit for SD3. I already have it for BFD but I still want it just in case. Hope it doesn't expire.
Hi Beep,
FYI, I went in an activated mine yesterday, so it seems that it doesn't expire... yet.
The serial numbers never expire... so as long as you have a serial number you'll be fine. Rail

rail im hoping to catch a deal on these session drummer kits because I was so impressed by the sounds. they really are amazing samples and crafted very nicely. velocity's just blew my mind.

Thanks for that info Rail. Very good of your company to do that. Based on my previous purchase of PS products (Andy Johns Kit) I am looking forward to this freebie. I never used SD3 until I got the PS kit. It turns SD3 into a different beast!

I would like to know if anyone has opened up these patches for Z3TA 2, you find them to loud and distorted and have to click on the limiter. Even with the limiter on I have to turn the pads down to -12db to know what they sound like.
You guys weren't kidding about the volume. Going through the patches was a painful experience.

Not a word. probably soon and a 4th July sale probably.
So far the Groove3.com coupon is the only thing I have used. the other packs and samples have been meh.
Agreed. As a rock guy, I find most of that content useless.

The current content club offering does not require anything but a 227MB download from your store account. Nothing to register anywhere. Cakewalk products were never part of the Content Club, from the Content Club web page:
Every other month Cakewalk will feature new content from one of our industry partners.
That's what it says, true. But considering they're giving away Z3ta+2 if you buy X2 Producer (or Studio) in July, I wouldn't mind having that. The AAS stuff was a nice offer, but the PS PL kit for SD3 didn't work well for SD3 because it didn't have a "kit" per se--just a collection of SFZ files and a "program". All the other kits I've bought for SD3 had proper kits, which made them easier to use. I don't know if anyone else had this problem. Steve

I haven't installed it but I haven't seen this complaint in regards to the (I'm assuming) Rock Legends kit. If it's anything like the Andy John's kit then you should be able to load it like anything else. The guys at Platinum Samples are pretty helpful. They got me up and running with the AJ kit pretty quickly.

If one wanted to save just the kit, load the program, click on the Drum button and save it away. In this case the program has no MIDI loops defined in it so it is functionally the same as a kit.

For the life of me I can't figure out why people are so nitpicky about freebies. I owned sonar for years without the content club so anything they give is a bonus whether I use it or not. The platinum samples are amazing. Who cares if one has to take a moment to make a kit. As far as some of the itmes being "useless".. I call BS. If one took a fraction of tbe time spent moaning to be ceative, some benefit can be had from anything that has been offered. The great part about free is even if it was useless, you did not lose a thing.

Hi Gang... I've seen a number of people mention this and yes, I too find them loud, but dealing with it is simple... I lower the volume for the synth track and then I can change patches normally and all are at a relative volume that is no longer loud... I'd much rather have them loud such as this and lower the synth output as I get a fatter, clean..... (Used to be mostly to reduce noise but digital???).. I would hate for the samples to be very low and force me to crank gain to make 'em work! ;-) Keni

Regarding Z3ta; +2 vs. 1.5: Yes, they are both programmed loud. However the +2 patches clip much more than 1.5.
It seems to me these sounds were designed for a specific market. I've downloaded some free patches from CHE which seem to fall under the same style of loud and cutting. (and often clipping too).
I can't say enough of the Xenos libraries though that are wide ranged, balanced patches for the those that don't belong in that other market.
I don't understand why Cakewalk insists on charging twice as much as the developer does for the same product though. This is one of those cases where I have to continue to warn you to not buy it through Cakewalk and go to Xenos directly. It will save you about $16.00 when you buy all four sets. And they really give a better show of what else Z3ta+2 can do.

I have all but one of the xenos banks for Zeta. They are the most useful presets I have come across for zeta, especially for the price.

I've owned Cakewalk and SONAR products for more than two decades, even without getting any freebies. I never said anything was "useless", and by no means was I "moaning" about anything. The Platinum Samples drums are very good, and I appreciate the offer. I've been used to working directly with the kits and not loading the MIDI files and everything else that comes with the programs. I had asked Cakewalk if this was a known issue, but never received a response. But I never complained. All that said, for the life of me, I can't figure out why people post the same message three times.  Steve

Steve..I was referring to people who specifically have said the freebies they received were useless. That word has been thrown around on this post and several pertaining to freebies in the past. Since you were not the one claiming they were useless, I was not referring to you :) Honestly, I expected the Drum samples to be in a Kit too, especially since it was designed for Session Drummer. I think it's a legitimate thing to question and even then I just brush it off if I don't get a definitive answer. I think the people who seem to feel entuitled are the ones that seem to expect Cakewalk to give them something like Pro Channel Module every month.
For some reason, every now and then this forum posts things multiple times since the new forum software upgrade. Sorry

No worries at all, dub. Thanks for clarifying! On KVR, I've seen people complain about free synths or libraries not living up to their expectations, but I've always posted a note of thanks to anyone who's given away anything--even if I didn't end up using it. I do understand where you're coming from though, and I agree with you. And since the "program" was made expressly for Session Drummer, I expected there to be a kit. I could have expressed that point better, just like you did. But I'll be looking to Platinum Samples the next time I need to buy drum samples, now that I've heard the quality of what they offer.
