I'm loving the ML Drums Plugin. I've been using GGD, but that Kontakt UI is the worst. The simplicity of ML Drums UI + the quality of the drum samples... Just an awesome plugin. Look forward to more ML Sound Lab products.

[@mlsoundlab]

Thank you so much! The usability of ML Drums was a high priority task for us. It needed to be as simple as possible yet give amazing results. :)

[@jerryfick8547]

@@mlsoundlab hey do you have to use 2 instances of amped roots on panned guitars? Or is there a way to use it in stereo on a guitar bus? Thanks so much for these awesome tools.

[@mystringsofficial2343]

Can't believe that free ver. ML drum itself is more than enough for me . Amped root was already my favourite go to amp sim. Thank you

[@mlsoundlab]

That's what it's all about! Thank you for your support! -Kai

[@zeclomal2265]

It amazes me that nowadays you could use 10 different drums or amp sims and you could get an awesome result! I mean, there are so many great options if you know what you're doing: Superior, SSD, GGD. PD and now this ML Drums.

[@APorTodas]

Oh I'm in! Been using amped roots and amped Stevie T since their release! And now ML DRUMS!! Amazing!! 👊🤘

[@mlsoundlab]

Thank you for hanging along!!

[@lastcall9998]

Amp Roots sounds awesome. Who would've thought X)

[@mlsoundlab]

Of course! They all sound awesome. 😄

I started with Amped Roots, Then bought Super-Super and then the flagship!!! Loving the journey so far!!! Would love some Amp sim that goes across Acoustic, Cleans, OverDriven and Crushing tones!!!!

[@Metaljonus]

Just got ML drums essentials. I'm looking forward to using these as my main kit!

[@victorbernardo1358]

Man, what a great sounding guitar DI!! How did you capture it? Direct to the audio interface? With a DI box? Through a preamp? Wich one? Cheers.

[@didymuskvist]

I've been using Ezdrummer and GGD kits for a few years and I've never been completely satisfied with them. I just downloaded ML Drums and I love them. I'll be recommending them to friends and I'll be expanding the kit soon. Thank you so much! 🤘

[@mlsoundlab]

That's awesome, glad you're loving ML Drums! -Kai

[@Artur_Chernyavsky]

One of the real pros of this plugin is its multi output mode! As other ML plugins it's rather CPU demanding, and internal FX make it sound crispy, so multi out is a great option for mixing! Thank you very much!)

[@mlsoundlab]

Thanks for the feedback, glad you're liking the multi-output routing! -Kai

[@oneseven2682]

The best Free ever for guitarist.

[@mlsoundlab]

Thank you!! -Kai

[@ConstantineM]

Those drums are amazing. Thanks for free version. I can't buy drums, because Euro is so expensive here in Ukraine. THANK YOU

[@mlsoundlab]

Thank you so much for checking it out! Enjoy it! -Kai

[@kirby671]

I actually tried Amped Roots on the bass DI and thought it was something cool to add!

[@mlsoundlab]

Definitely a very nice sounding growly bass distortion. I wouldn't want to drive bass low end too much but other than that it's really good.

[@BlackCastleRecordings]

Very nice, I used to use amped roots alot, I'm gonna have to try it some more.

[@jtwidmer6185]

I have ML drums, EZ. Drummer (with DFH) and the kits that come with Logic. Honestly I think ML is my favorite.

[@mlsoundlab]

That's awesome, thank you so much JT! -Kai

[@jimsimmons2674]

Mikko how did you program the ML Drums,did you use a midi keyboard or some other midi controller?

[@mlsoundlab]

Mikko usually programs stuff in using the mouse + piano roll in Cubase, but I personally program everything in with a MIDI controller. Use whatever feels most natural to you! -Kai

[@EasyHeat]

Great demo! Challenge accepted.😉🙃

[@mlsoundlab]

Thank you - definitely would love to see people trying out how far they can get with just the free ML plugins. I think tracking a full album may even be possible. 🙃

[@Shelby8371]

It’s 10% gear 90% player. Sounds great but your an amazing musician an engineer so you can make a bail of hay sound good

[@mlsoundlab]

There is truth to that. My technique is definitely not as good as it used to be when I practiced on a daily basis but the experience of tracking yourself is very important. Also having an ear for what will likely work and what will not comes with experience. These are things that will be somewhat difficult to teach but I could give it a shot.. would you be interested in such content?

[@Shelby8371]

@@mlsoundlab hell yes, let’s nerd out. I bought the amp roots and it’s killer and brings inspiration. Tracking and playing the same riff to a T is the hard part for me IMHO. ML sounds and you are genius, thanks for all you have created

[@DimKoDVH]

and what about blastbeat? 😈 can you make some demo please? 🙏🏻

[@tynchomartincho1604]

Wow!!! Espectacular!!! Suenan genial!!! Muy bueno!!!!

[@mlsoundlab]

Thanks buddy! 😄

[@ZALMusic]

Amazing demonstration! Does ML Drums have capability to multi-output each drum to separate tracks in a mix session?

[@mlsoundlab]

Yes it does! In pretty much every DAW except GarageBand this should be available. If you're stuck, let us know what DAW you're using and we'll happily assist you! -Kai

[@Аёха-и5к]

Hello! I really liked your drums and I would like to buy a complete version of them. But I'm from Russia and payment with my credit cards does not go through (tried several times). Could it be possible to pay for the reels with bitcoin, for example? Thanks anyway!

[@robloyst4514]

How the hell are you getting that guitar tone! Man, mine sounds so horrible compared to this lol. What are you tuned too?

[@mlsoundlab]

If your guitars don't sound like ours do, it's likely going to be down to your input gain and your technique. Picking hard is really the key to getting good chunky high gain tones. Other than that, double-tracked guitars that are locked in well with the metronome will really help. As for the input gain, try setting it so that the light on the input knob of Amped just starts to blink when you dig in hard, then adjust from there depending on whether you need the sound to be more saturated or drier and more articulate. -Kai

[@robloyst4514]

@@mlsoundlab I’ll give it a try. Me playing in D n a Jackson dinky stick pickups prob don’t help. Also I’m sloppy haha

[@JavenUrd]

What Drum Kit did you use to make the samples of this Plugin?

[@andrasiboti]

Hi. Can one use this plugin with an actual e drum kit? Or is this just for songwriters who don't own any drums and need drum backing in their songs?

[@mlsoundlab]

Yes, this plugin works nicely with an E-Kit - we'll be releasing a few videos over the coming weeks of us using it with E-Kits 💪 -Kai

[@gabrielbenliro2642]

the ads keep popping up, how do you turn it off?

[@rodrigosallesguitar]

Great video! Really cool tips!

[@mlsoundlab]

Thanks Rodrigo, glad they were of value to you!

[@ircensko7324]

Can ML Drums and Amped Roots be used as plugins on FL studio and Reaper?

[@mlsoundlab]

Yes they can! -Kai

[@sbrave]

I downloaded the free v2.3.0 macOS version, and both the AAX & AU versions won't load. A message appears that they are not valid 64bit plugins?? I tried the AAX plugin in Pro Tools, and the AU in Pro Tools, via BlueCat Patchworks plugin. I didn't see anything about authorizing the plugins, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Running macOS Mojave and Pro Tools 2018 & 2021 versions. Thanks.

[@mlsoundlab]

MacOS Mojave is not supported - you'll need to update to MacOS10.15 or later in order to use ML Drums. Apologies for the inconvenience. -Kai

[@sbrave]

@@mlsoundlab is that the same for the amp plugins? You need Catalina?

[@mlsoundlab]

You may get along with our pre-vorna plugins; Ark, Burger, Super Duper, Plexi and Stevie T, but the rest will also require 10.15 or above. -Kai

[@shredding51]

I can’t figure out how to get some drum tracks going with the ml drums. If i click the mouse on each drum it makes drum sounds of course. Do i need a midi keyboard to build a track manually?

[@mlsoundlab]

You can either use a MIDI keyboard to track the drums, or you can program them in using the Piano Roll editor within your DAW. Hope this helps! -Kai

[@JavenUrd]

Great, but now you need a free bass plugin 🤣

[@mlsoundlab]

That would be cool! -Kai

[@JavenUrd]

@@mlsoundlabLike a Free version of Amped Bass 🤣

[@serge1643]

It is a pity that it is impossible to make a payment from my country, we were disconnected from SWIFT, the drums are good, as are the roots, fortunately I acquired the roots more than a year ago.

Pleaaase put ml bass free or maybe a half of it

[@mlsoundlab]

Thank you for the suggestion! -Kai

[@DanielS-zq2rr]

The drums we see here are not free, this is misleading... when you download the free version you get a far smaller kit

[@mlsoundlab]

Mikko owns a full license of ML Drums, but the drums you're hearing in this demo are all the drums that are available in the free version. Left crash, right china, one rack tom and one floor tom. Nothing misleading here - it may look different from how your ML Drums looks, but the sounds produced in this video are all available with the free kit. Sorry for the confusion caused, I do understand how it may come across on video. -Kai
