I know that sound-wise there's probably superior libraries out there, but with this step up to SSD5 i don't think the gap is as big now - the cymbals and snare rolls seem vastly improved to me. Elite mixers such as Chris Lord Alge, Ross Hogarth, Justin Neibank, Dave Way, Jeff Juliano, Jay Baumgardner, Ben Grosse, David Kahn, Ryan Williams, and many more top names have relied on Slate’s samples to help enhance the drum sounds in their mixes for years. Why i like SSD?, well, it's not overly massive drum library, and it's quick to put down in a mix if you're using E-Drums. TRIGGER comes stock with a library of the industry standard drum samples created by Steven Slate. Upgrade price seems a no brainer to me, but money is very tight this month so i'm just drooling over the Free version for next few weeks! :-/

I've not got the full version of SSD5 yet, so i was also going to use this post to ask if anyone has it, and if so, how have you found it? You can route out to separate Aux's and of course make use of Logic's great mixer options to really shape the kit how you want, i've been really enjoying the free version.Īlthough it mentions ilok on the page that you click through, you don't need it for the free version, when you fill the form in you are taken direct to downloads page. I just thought i'd give a heads up as there's a free unrestricted version of the plugin that has a very usable kit and you get full plugin operation, no time expiry or anything like that.

As a user of SSD4, i've been waiting for SSD5 and it came out early this week.
