Smenelian Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Is this recommended for someone who likes to program their own drums? I understand there is some sort of 'kit mode', but I am unfamiliar with how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 If you're looking to sequence your own drums, no. It's basically a highly complex drum LOOP player with tons of effects, auto-variation, a massive, high-quality library with built in fills/variations/layers, editing features, and so on and so forth. Sure, it has menus of oneshot sounds, but you won't find 50-layer kick samples or auto-alternating L/R snares in it. I do believe it to be nearly an essential plugin though. I use it ALL the time.

Smenelian Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Well...that's slightly disappointing. It does look like an excellent plugin, but I've been looking for some high quality one-shots to add to my collection. Are there any sample sets that offer even remotely close to the variety RMX does but without the emphasis on loops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Stylus RMX is extremely comprehensive. It has dirty hip hop stuff, acoustic stuff, breakbeat, strictly electronic, ethnic, filmscore, and so on. It's a swiss army knife, and very few collections match that kind of the versatility. The closest thing I can think of would be Drums Overkill; http://www.bigfishaudio.com/4DCGI/detail.html?1352 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylance Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Alternatively, you could go with Stormdrum, which has some desent drumkits (though mostly more ethnic drums) or NI Battery, which comes with a lot of nice samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
