Yellow Matter Entertainment Steven Slate Drums 1.5 GOG (1 cd)

Introducing Steven Slate Drums, the most complete, best sounding drum
sample CD you will ever hear, from Yellow Matter Entertainment. Made with the
mixer in mind, the sample disc contains many unique features not found in any
other drum sample discs.

First and foremost is the sound. Steven has sold drum samples to some of
the country's top mixers. His samples are big, fat, and punchy sounding. The
samples have been thoroughly tweaked and tested in actual mixes within
various musical styles. Where many drum sample discs are very raw and
unprocessed, Steven Slate drum samples have been eq'd and compressed with
precision so that you can put them in a mix and simply throw the fader up.
Little to no tweaking is necessary, the work has been done, the sound is
already there.

Another unique feature is Z system. Every single drum sample set is
processed in one of four ambient spaces. For instance, Z1 mono sets are
sampled so that there is slight amount of overhead micing creating a three
dimensional, airy, punchy, natural drum tone. Z2 sets are stereo samples, and
have heavily compressed far room mics mixed in with closer mics, and the
result is a larger then life, deep and fat sound that has great dimension
even in thick rock mixes. Z3 mono sets are very dry and are not processed
with any ambient mics, creating a sound that is ultra punchy and "in your
face". These sets are great with most punk and speed metal mixing. The new
Z4 sample sets are the isolated room sound of each sample. Mixing a Z1 with
its Z4 sample will create an unbelievabley 3D drum tone that will have anyone
believe your drums were recorded in a beautiful sounding drum room.

On many sample CDs, a particular drum is sampled with one sound. However,
any drummer knows that different sounds can be had from a drum by tuning the
drum at certain tensions, by dampening and undampening the drum, by using
different drum heads, or by tightening and loosing the snares. Steven
Slate Drums makes use of all these wonderful sounds, and many of the drums
are sampled with different tunings, different heads, and different
dampenings. For instance, a pop rock song will probably require a low tuned,
long decaying, non ringing snare drum sound. A hard rock tune might require a
high tuned, quick decaying, open sounding snare drum with a touch of natural
shell ring.

As any pro audio engineer knows, running audio through various different
gear can create subtle to obvious sonic differences. Some of the samples on
Steven Slate Drums were processed through different eq's and compressors,
yielding a similar sound with a slightly different quality which may suit
certain mixes better. For instance, by using a different compression chain,
Steven could change the sound of the initial transient from ultra tight and
punchy, to ultra splatty with more decay sound and body.
