Extraordinary Attention To Detail

Toontrack recorded SD3’s vast 230GB library at Galaxy Studios in Belgium, a space famed for having only 14 dBA of environmental noise – literally one of the quietest recording spaces in the world!

Renowned production guru George Massenburg combined perfect acoustics, unparalleled recording technology and a wealth of experience to make this one of the most comprehensive, detailed and expressive sample libraries ever released.

So what’s new with Superior Drummer 3?

Toontrack have pulled out all of the stops with this release – compared to Superior Drummer 2, this is an entirely different beast! Superior Drummer 3 is your one-stop go-to drum plugin to nail pretty much any drum sound, groove or effect for your next track. Not only can you deep-edit the midi-tracks and nail authentic drum sounds – well frankly, some of the best drum sounds available to date – you can also mix them to taste.

You can add bleed from other mics (as this would happen in a real studio) as well as add up to 35 different mixer effects including distortion, modulation and compression. Easily edit the tracks within the software itself with the grid editor, and drag and drop 3rd party drum samples to fully customise your sound. Mix and match different drum sounds and kits, both acoustic and electronic, and make use of an array of samples, loops and presets for on the fly writing or to build whole tracks including basic beats and complex fills and grooves.

  • 230GB+ of raw samples in 44.1KHz / 24-bit (a mind-boggling 12 times the size of SD2!)
