After you've set all the instrument pieces to Multi Out inside Kontakt - a quicker way instead of having to manually route 14 channels of audio is to right click on Kontakt in the FX window and then hit "Build multichannel routing for output of selected FX"! Will do it for you instantly.
Literally everything came out perfect in all your steps, but for some odd reason, I'm not able to drag a groove into the reaper. Is this something common? I'm on a Roland TD17 BTW if that needs to be addressed.
This is sounding really nice. I'd love to see a rundown video that illustrates all the different drums and cymbals that are available. Maybe clicking the dropdown buttons on the kit page to show the options for each slot, or a drum/cymbal list on the product page. The reason I request that is because I own a lot of the different drum VSTi's on the market (SSD, GGD, Drum Forge, and more) so a big selling point to me is knowing exactly what drums and cymbals come with each product. Also, I'd like to know what the differences are between Enso and Fairview. There are more options that come with Enso, so I'm curious as to why that is a more affordable product than Fairview. Is it the quality of the samples that were recorded? Less desirable room that Enso was recorded in? Or perhaps Enso was just more cost effective to create all around? Would love some insight! A third idea, and this may just be wishful thinking, but I'd love to see an RS product that could allow for seamless integration of all RS products within one instance of Kontakt. Sort of like one main UI, but each round of kit pieces (Enso, Fairview, etc) being released as expansions. In other words, one VSTi where all RS Drums products are compatible within the same plugin. And maybe existing customers could be discounted a little as sort of a 'loyalty' program, raising incentive for existing customers to continue purchasing RS products. But I realize that may be too cost-inefficient at the moment, but I think that'd be a great end goal.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions! We just updated the product page on our website that lists all of the cymbals and drums we sampled. We definitely do plan on releasing a video that walks through the entire instrument, which will hopefully be out in the next few weeks. As for Enso vs Fairview, Enso does have a lot more options, however, Fairview is definitely much easier to use and way more mix ready. Enso was a big learning curve for us, and as difficult as it is to admit, we weren't thrilled on the final outcome. I think we tried to reinvent the wheel with the UI for Enso, and a lot of the focus on sound/usability was lost along the way because of this. So we're treating it as a 'sample pack' that comes in the form of TCI's for Slate trigger along with a Kontakt instrument. This is also why we've priced it so low. Alex and I have improved a lot with engineering and sampling drums, and we gained a lot of perspective on what people seem to prefer. Fairview is a much (much much) better representation of that growth. Even further, all of the feedback we've been getting on Fairview has been incredibly helpful as we plan to make another drum instrument in the future. I definitely want to cover more of this in a video, just to shed some light on the entire process. Lastly, that would honestly be amazing if we could create something like that, but it would definitely take a lot of budget that we just don't have. We absolutely want to make things as easy as possible for anyone interested in what we create. So that will definitely be one of our main focuses. Unfortunately, a large scale integration like that is just too expensive for how small we are (Alex and myself - Anup). But, it is an amazing idea, and we would totally be about it if it was financially realistic for us. If you're interested in hearing how Fairview sounds out-of-the-box, I just posted this video on our channel that compares the 4 mix presets available. The only processing is a limiter (-5 dB), otherwise no mixing/processing/routing/etc. Fairview also has a 'Boost' knob, where you can essentially lower our internal bus processing. If set to 0%, people can work with a much more raw/natural sample. I'll be posting a video this week that shows the difference with the Boost knob set to 100% and 0%. Thanks again for the comment and great suggestions. ua-cam.com/video/QNwo1msyCB8/v-deo.html
