What ProDrummer 1 does
The plugin is organized around drum kits, each recorded in five studios and presented in a dry and wet version so the balance can be set by the user. Every kit comes with a 16-channel mixer that gives full control over each drum and over the bleed room microphones, and each drum has its own channel with individual processing and routing. A reverb with 726 presets is also included, and the kits are pre-mixed by producers, so they can be loaded ready to use.
Key features
- Pre-mixed user adjustable kits. Drum kits from producers arrive pre-mixed, and each kit can still be adjusted by the user with the included 16-channel mixer and bleed room microphone controls.
- Groove library and search. More than 14,000 MIDI drum grooves are categorized by style, length and tempo, and a search engine lets the user find grooves that fit a song.
- Songbuilder and DAW sync. The songbuilder sequencer arranges complete drum tracks inside the software, and the sync function matches a groove to the tempo of the host track.
- Velocity processing and drum swapping. A velocity graph in the drum velocity processor adds punch, and individual drums within a kit can be swapped, tuned and stacked two at a time.
Use cases
- Building a drum track from grooves. The songbuilder and groove search can assemble a complete drum arrangement from the MIDI library, which is then synced to the project tempo.
Who it is for
The plugin suits producers who want ready-mixed drum kits, a large MIDI groove library and a songbuilder for arranging drum parts inside the instrument rather than in the DAW.
