Jazz kit played with sticks
The session drummer series was created in order to provide a quick and effective method to add realistic percussion grooves to your track. The intent will be to cover grooves which are either very hard to technically synthestrate (ex. a stirring brush pattern) or those which can sound "square" when crafted via midi or midi loops.
Each volume will contain a series of loops and a Kontakt "kit" patch. The patch itself is a faithful representation of the sound of the loops, having each ingredient carefully sampled with 8x round robin and multiple velocity layers. Seamlessly interchanging the kit with the loops the composer can provide exactly the track which suits them.
The loops provide a realistic variation to different patterns a percussionist might lay down at a session. They don´t go off on tandems, nor do they reach outside the realm of the title of the volume. They are specifically made to serve the library by playing a variation in the style described.
About this volume:
This library features 136 medium swing style loops recorded at 116 BPM. About half of the loops are 4-8 bar are drag and drop, fully orchestrated "time" feels. The time variations cover commonly used patterns like swing feel on the ride, hi hat, toms, and snare. The remaining loops serve specific functions like fills, solos etc...
The playing to designed be commercially accessible * tailored towards multi media composers. No crazy show off patterns, just realistic "in the pocket" supporting grooves. The same as you would get from hiring an experienced studio player. The loops come as pure wav files (48k/24bit), rex2 files, and apple loops. The Kontakt patch requires version 2.2.4+ of the software to run.
Tim Starnes (mixer for HWW and DOW) has made the mix very malleable. A classic sound with nothing sticking out. Not overly compressed nor especially dark or bright. It is ready to be treated as needed by your own track.
