  • Soft Drums fills the gap between jazz drum kits and dead 70's kits. Muted yet somehow still vibrant and expressive.

    i want to make a drum sample pack of my kit. i have a 70s ludwig standard kit sounds great. except idk if the bearing edges are bad or if my hoops are bent. i can’t get the floor tom to sound good. it has the weird vibration that rings out after you hit it. i’ve tuned it so many times. the only time it doesn’t do it is if i have it tuned really high but then it just sounds like garbage anyway. but also that marching kick is sweet. i just got a 1920s ludwig marching kick 27” i just need to find heads for it. i’m stoked for it though. my dad has a ludwig set that’s all the same specs as bonhams, but i’m stoked for the vintage sound. nice mahogany shell too should sound sick

    About to buy this; but I wish there was a decay control, especially for tightening up that kick directly in the interface.
    EDIT: Any possibility of adding decay and tuning? I'm 5 minutes into playing it, and find myself wanting to tweak the tuning on the snares and the decay on the kicks. Really digging the sounds.

    @mantis834 Рік тому +1

    Just purchased, loving it so far!
    One question though, the snapshots don't seem to load?
    The down arrow next to "DEFAULT" doesn't do anything, nor do the left + right arrows on the same strip.
    There is a snapshots folder and I was able to drag them and get it loaded that way, but only one at a time.
    Is there a way to get them all in there so using the arrows would enable to scroll through them?
    Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

      I need to make a video about this process. For now, check this resource...karanyisounds.com/how-to-install-kontakt-snapshots/
      You might need to create a Soft Drums folder inside your .../User Content/Kontakt Folder
      I know it's a bit of a pain, but it's the only way to get those snapshots loaded properly

      I understand your point. It’s extremely difficult communicating Kontakt vs Kontakt player. I try to make it as simple as possible, which actually ends up confusing more experienced users like yourself. But no matter what I say or how many times I write it on the website, I still get purchased from folks who have not purchased the Full version.
