The recording of the drums was done very quickly with only me on everything from drumming to engineering. As you can imagine that is not a perfect way to record a drum kit and if you add the fact that the drums weren’t tuned, one of the cymbals had a crack in it, the heads were old and I did everything in about 2 hours, it’s nothing even close to the sound of the Drummix line of plugins. Still, I released it as a public beta just for fun and the response has been marvellous. Not only did this plugin beat two of the well-known brands in an anonymous poll, but it also got raving user reviews and was even reviewed in Sound on Sound.

The beta version had 3 presets: Rock, Rock Olympic and 70′s. The drums on all presets are a Ludwig Fab Four but on the olympic version I used an old Olympic snare drum. The 70′s preset was the same drum kit with a blanket over the toms and snare. The sound of these recordings has been used by thousands of musicians / engineers and has for many a sought after “indie” sound.

I have decided to release the old beta version without all limitations it had and a new set of features that consisted only in the commecial plugins:

• The interface is completely new and very similar to the other commercial Drummix plugins

•  I’ve added mute, solo, phase and panning

•  I have put all three preset’s into one plugin (previously 2)

•  I have included a stereo version of the plugin for a quicker setup. No need to mess with outputs.

•  The drums now start on C1

•  The drums are now closer to GM map

•  The hihat switching is now included

•  Low CPU and RAM usage
