great vid dane.....im gonna try a couple of these out....i usually do like 80's melodic metal but i think these may help me create some interesting bridges in my song....thanks for the content and keep rockin

Awesome video! I’ve used mt power kit for a while and even though it’s great I want a vst with a rock/punk/pop punk preset, any recommendations? Monster drums and jamstix were the ones that caught my attention in the vid!

[@johnsnyder4949]

[@lordbarron3352]

I appreciate how well you structure your videos, having a good variety of plugins for whatever topic you're covering. Do you by chance know any vst plugins for PVC pipe xylophones (or a drum with a similar sound)? The only version I could find was a paid one that was taken down from the manufacturers website.

[@DoctorMandible]

You could probably fake it by using a rock drum kit, modulating the pitch and adding a reverb with a short, hard drop off.

All the plugins are great! Hey I suddenly started facing an issue. I have Vital VST in my plugins folder but in tracktion waveform, when i click on the plugin in my track, it opens an improperly scalled interface. also in the plugin list under image column, i see a camera icon beside vital only but not for any other plugins. Ig that is something to do with plugin thumbnails. But how do I remove it? And how to resolve the scaling?

Nobody ever mentions Drum Gizmo! It's an amazing free drum vst, if a little CPU heavy.

[@ZeugmaP]

I was looking for a cool plugin to replace MT Power Drumkit (not because I don't like it, but because I need some variation) and I ended up downloading a lot of new VSTs

[@CrankCase08]

I find the sound of the snare on MT to be really irritating on the ears. It's a shame, because the rest of the kit is pretty good.

[@laufer1975]

What about best one free acoustic? IK multimedia MODO drum?

[@AudioTechTV]

I’m digging into Modo drum today so I’m not sure how good it is yet. I wish I knew that was coming out before I released this video lol. But right now my favourite acoustic ones are MT Power drums and SSD free

Great video for those wishing to master the beats, however as at 28 Aug 22 the Jamstix 4 Free Mac version is in Beta testing and therefore cant be downloaded without a cost. I'm sure the developers will want to get this signed off asap, so a wait is in order.

hi just wondering does the drum8 plugin work on cakewalk or and other free software

[@jonshulman740]

Which of the acoustic drum kits work with the piano scroll?

[@jonshulman740]

I got ez drummer 2 and a ton of midis but I hate that I can’t control it

[@AudioTechTV]

@@jonshulman740 you can use the piano roll with any of the drum plugins. With EZ drummer you can either create your own midi files in the piano roll or step sequencer and control it that way. Or drag one of the midi grooves in and double click on the midi clip which opens the piano roll and then edit the midi information as you like.

[@jonshulman740]

I figure it out

[@jonshulman740]

Thank you Zane! It took me some time to figure this one out. I was using EZ drummer as a drum machine. Can I split it to instrument tracks for individual track mixing and use the piano roll after I already wrote the drum parts? Is there a way to avoid weird fuzzy sounds that sound like my computer is slowing down? I am also getting some latency in my instrument recordings so I have to snap them into place manually. Is there a fix for that? @@AudioTechTV

[@Male-On-Beatz]

What is your favorite?

[@AudioTechTV]

I tend to use MT Power Drumkit most for acoustic drum sounds and I have been using BPB Cassette a lot lately for drum machine styles. But I really like Ritmix and several of the other drum machine plugins too.

[@Aharshreality9281]

how does someone go about getting more Kits for monster drums it only came with acoustica kit.

[@AudioTechTV]

If you go to the Monster Drums website here bit.ly/Monster_Drums you'll see a section that says "How To Install". it tells you the steps to install the kits after you have the plugin installed. All the expansions can be downloaded from that page too.

[@LittleRichard1988]

I didn't know you could use the Cakewalk VSTs in other DAWs. Do you just copy and paste the respective folders into your other DAWs VST plugins folder?

[@AudioTechTV]

I’m pretty sure you can use all of them except the overloud ones (TH3 and BreVerb). You could copy and paste the dll files into your current VST folder or you could add the Cakewalk VST plugin folder to the list of folders that your other daw scans for new plugins.

[@arturogarduñoguitar]

Some DAW’s will automatically program Cakewalks VST’s into their own plugin files. Since cakewalks VST and other files are installed separately most if not all of them are compatible with other DAW’s.

[@raygrooves2666]

Hi can you recommend a good drum machine with a built in sequencer (64bit) pls

[@pressspacetostop]

I feel like I've seen all these talked about over and over the past year, and none of them are really great... I like LABS and sometimes MT, but they are generally frustrating to work with. So strange we have so many amazing free synth plugins like vital, but really no great free rock drum solutions- just "passable" ones at best..

[@AudioTechTV]

What is it that you find frustrating with MT Power Drumkit and Labs drums?

[@officialWWM]

@@AudioTechTV what I find frustrating is there is only one kit and everyone is using it.

[@AudioTechTV]

@@officialWWM ok. I understand now. I thought you meant the actual usability of it. You can add saturation and edit each drum in multi output to really make it your own.

[@pressspacetostop]

@@AudioTechTV Labs has reverb you can't remove, is not that terrible otherwise. MT I feel personally is digital and cold, and frustrating to mix a cheap sounding kit into an expensive sounding one (I can't get it to sound great anyways. I can get it to sound OK. I've released a few songs with it- all songs that have had about 16-20 hours of mixing, so if there's an issue its me or the kit). Both kits have snares that leave much to be desired- or at least the snare on MT is very cold and harsh and not fun to listen to at all. A drum solution for a lively and warm sounding kit would be great, but the only thing remotely close to that is Superior Drummer, and I just can't spend $400 on a vst right now. I understand you get what you pay for, it's just frustrating not being able to get drums that sound like my favorite records when by comparison its quite easy to get guitars and synths and vocals like my favorite records.

[@AudioTechTV]

ik multimedia just released Modo Drums 1.5 today. You can get the custom shop version for free and it comes with 1 kit. Of course it gets released on the day I release this video lol. But give that one a try and see if it works for you. Another option is to use a sampler or another drum plugin just to add snare reinforcement for MT. Ive always had to do that with that kit.

But you need the full version of Kontakt to use Drummica now. If you got it before they made the change then you’re good. But since May 2020 it hasn’t been available for Kontakt Player. I didn’t want to recommend free products that you have to purchase something to use.

Man, I love your job but I have a simple ask for you: please stop talking in the middle of the sounds 'cause I can't hear it. Thx

[@AudioTechTV]

You can’t hear my voice or the sounds? If you can’t hear the sounds, I stip talk g after each explanation and just let them play so you can hear them. The interesting thing is that in my analytics for videos like this, most people skip ahead when I stop talking. So whether I talk over some background sounds or not, I still show the same amount of audio only portions for each instrument.
