And you can get Superior Drummer expansion packs on sale all the time they’re like always on sale practically monthly or maybe every other month. You can really mold your sound to get a better mix using Superior drummer 2 then you can with Slate.
Superior Drummer is really close to the price point of Slate and the SDX expansions are a lot better with samples and more comprehensive. Superior drummer 2 is very good for mixing but you there is a learning curve and you have to be really good at mixing, but in the long run it is very effective when it comes down to doing the actual mixing. Steven Slate Drums have a really complicated interface which is hard to get your head around at first but once you do it’s pretty seamless and can be very effective. I really love the acoustic sound and the sampling from Superior especially for snare work ( so I don’t have to do too much compression).Īs far as the Steven Slate Drums in comparison to Superior Drummer, in my personal opinion, Superior drummer 2 is definitely the way to go. I’ve actually used it to sample on to my acoustic kit and then I blend them adding the human aspect in between the two functionalities. I really enjoy sampling with a Superior Drummer 2, it’s just amazing. But it is definitely difficult to program techniques such as symbols swells and snare drags and things of this nature with Superior. You would have to separate the symbols with the attack increased a little to wash it out quickly and it will give you the symbol grab effect.
You can actually program the AD2 for symbol grabs. It’s hit-and-miss when it comes to the sounds you’re actually trying to produce. The one thing that’s missing for Superior, I would say, is the ability to control cymbal grabs. Superior Drummer lacks the ability for symbol swells, although you can create cymbal swells. Superior Drummer 2 is also an amazing tool and a great piece of software. AD has a lot of functionality the interface is clean, in my opinion better than EZdrummer. There’s a lot more that I really can’t off the top of my head come up with. There’s a just a tremendous library they’ve included of midi beats, bigger than the set that comes standard with EZdrummer.
This is just a comparison with data that I’ve collected and yes with EZdrummer you have control over the sounds that they give you ADSR or compression and Distortion, mic placement, room reverb, drum location, mic blend, effects, and it does have quite a large selections of drums that you can pick from but with AD you have that and editable mappings ( I don’t think that EZdrummer can do that although I may be mistaken about that). I know this is beginning to sound like an advertisement for AD but it’s absolutely not. A lot of people I’ve talked agree that AD sounds much better than EZdrummer. I mean they have a lot of advanced features like Superior Drummer has, like I said before, but lack the ability to use your own samples (IIRC). AD is actually somewhere in between EZdrummer and Superior Drummer.
Steven slate drums 4 platinum vs addictive drums 2 free#
Addictive Drums is also always running sales and actually has a sale going on right now for 99 bucks and it comes with two free kits which is pretty damn amazing.ĪD has a lot of the advanced features of Superior Drummer 2. It’s really amazing how you can get the Ludwig John Bonham track sound right out of the box, it’s an absolutely incredible setup. You can just drag them onto the midi track and bam! you have instant drums. It also has great sound and there’s just a whole bunch of Midi riffs and breaks that come standard with the package. It comes with a lot of functionality also. To start I’ll say that Addictive Drums sound really good, it’s very easy to use, it has tons of options and it’s not very expensive. So this is a little comparison of EZdrummer 2 vs.
