TOONTRACK / SDX METAL MACHINERY

This drum sound library from TOONTRACK is for SUPERIOR DRUMMER 2.0. It shares the same basic instrument configuration as EZX METAL MACHINE, but offers a wider selection of mics and custom kit presets. Compatible with SUPERIOR DRUMMER 2.0 (v2.4.1 or later).

■SDX Expansion Sound Source

""SDX METAL MACHINERY"" is an expansion drum sound source that can be considered the ""SDX version"" of ""EZX METAL MACHINE,"" the most popular of the metal EZX series.

The difference from ""EZX METAL MACHINE"" is that it contains dynamic drum sounds recorded in the studio in their original form, without any sound design using effects.

""EZX METAL MACHINE"" contained drum sounds recorded at ""Henson Recording Studios"" (Los Angeles, USA), a studio favored by many world-class metal bands, and sound-designed for metal at renowned metal producer Andy Sneap's private studio, ""Dairywood"" (UK). ""SDX METAL MACHINERY"" contains the dynamic drum sounds recorded at the same studio in their original form.

The included drum kits are the same as those in ""EZX METAL MACHINE,"" but ""SDX METAL MACHINERY"" has a wide variety of microphone channels, allowing you to freely create sounds and drum kits using kit presets (mixer settings) created by Andy Sneap and your favorite plug-in effects.

""SDX METAL MACHINERY"" is the perfect ""sound material"" for creating hard rock/metal drum sounds!
