In your main drum machine you still load shells & keep them in room/oh mics, but then you mute the direct mics, or just lower them, then you load SSD on top of it & load just shells that sounds like they complement well the original drums.ĭo a nice routing setup so you have both slate & main OH/Rooms on separate tracks on the DAW, separate out for Slate Shells/Main Shells if layering too, so you can still clean the natural shells a little - but don't do too much because phase and stuff. The way you can do that in the natural realm is by combining SSD with something like Toontrack Ny Avatar Progressive or Metal Foundry, even GGD, anything that is unprocessed enough to sound like real drums Slate by their own are really meant to be sounding huge clean & loud, they excel at that but that makes them kinda insipid like it doesn't sing at all, what they're really good at is adding their own punch to more natural sounding drums. is a rather niche product you use when you want your drums to sound like on most of joey sturgis early production work & if you you're not into this kind of obviously overproduced drums albums like This is Exile by whitechapel, Ignorance Never Dies by Your Demise, Grow by Chon & The last two Suicide Silence albums are - while I'm not sure whether SSD was actually used or not on these records - a good example of drum tones you can achieve with only the SSD shells being used either layered on the real natural drum sound or just replacing the shells. Slate in my area of work which is metal music, mixing etc.
That being said, even if I used them a lot, They're not my favourites now, I think GGD Halpern Drums and Toontrack Progressive EZX/Foundry really killed the game with how realistic & dry they are to begin with while being so well captured it's a pleasure to make them as big as you would with slate ones, and I've never used SSD alone, explanations below : I don't know if it's because of the kontakt engine, if I'm biased or smth else but here I can clearly say the Kick 10/Snare 12 I've been using a lot lacks a lot of power in SSD4 compared to what it was on 3.5 platinum on kontakt, maybe I'm biased because I'm used to the old ones but they sounded a lot more relevant to me.
