POORTER thanks ! Stay tuned and let me know what kind of music you’re making.

[@lordha-ha4242]

that sub is so heavy and amazing. Im using Komplete 12 and Abbey 50 for the first time and I have been blown away by the kick and the bass as you describe so well.

[@epicon6]

Excellent video!!! Speechless.

[@peterbufano]

Thanks for tuning in! Stay tuned, I'm going to do a tour of one of the the other kits.

Peter, great video. You're very natural and articulate.All the best with your music.

[@peterbufano]

Rohan Anderson Thanks for tuning in!

[@tonyadams6985]

Thank you! Quite informative. I was looking at supreme drummer, but love the dynamics and overall variables on hand, not to mention "the Sound" of Native Instruments. I've made the purchase. You've helped a lot! Very enjoyable presentation.

[@peterbufano]

Thanks for tuning in and thanks for your comments. Let me know if you need anything else. Now go make some great music!

[@figtreetim]

Wow! This is like the best explanation of a drum plug-in. I like how you take the time to explain and demonstrate this wonderful drum set. Thanks a million. I understand a lot better now. Virgin Islands.

[@peterbufano]

@figtreetim THANKS. Don't be stranger, come by any time. I'm here to help. What drum plug-ins are you using?

[@The_Penny_Seventeens]

Exactly what I wanted to know about the plugin thank you!

[@peterbufano]

Nicolas Nicolas thanks Nicolas, I appreciate you stopping. Stay tuned for more.

Thanks Lord Ha-Ha

[@CesitarLabarthe]

Congratulations a very very good tutorial thank you for much !!!!

[@peterbufano]

Thanks for stopping by I hope it was helpful. Are you already using this library? Or considering it?

[@kimwestwood8840]

I love the NI drums. I have Studio Drummer and Abbey Road modern drummer

[@peterbufano]

Yesssss, so useful!

great video man i would like to see a kind of comparison video with the other ones from NI

[@peterbufano]

Cool! any particular other one?

@@peterbufano i bought 60s drummer today so already got my decision :D its good but i kinda struggle with mixing low and high pass filters are missing i guess i could render out everything in solo... any ideas or tips ? would be kind

[@peterbufano]

@ You got a high and low shelf in there: In the Mixer Tab. Select any channel (could be an individual close mic, kit mics, or even the master) look below, you have an effects chain including EQ. This is a great EQ. and the Band labeled HF and LF are High Shelf and Low Shelf respectively. If you want to get a hard high/low pass start on the Master Buss and experiment there. Make sure the "Bell" buttons are NOT lit. Turn the DB knob for the HF and the LF all the way down to the left and sweep your KHZ knob and/or Hz knob for those bands (the yellow and black) up and down and see how you like it.

[@diggydretv]

Where are the other instruments coming from? They sound AMAZING!

[@peterbufano]

I talk about this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npzZpKmejqlmf8k - Spoiler alert : it's not all about the libraries, it's also about how you use them.😉

[@0cho85]

great video! also can you tell me what plugins did you use for the instruments at 2:11 or is it a sample?

[@peterbufano]

@YoungBeats The accordion is a Beltuna. The rest of the instruments are some ( mostly really basic) samples. Drums = Abbey Rd. Bass = Komplete factory jazz bass. Piano = Komplete NY Grand. Guitar = Django, Whistling = Whistle Ensemble, Trumpet = Sample Modeling The Trumpet.

[@smdemmery]

Came here to hear 50s drums, now find my self needing to know what Upright Bass was that you were using sounds killer

[@peterbufano]

That bass is the cheap old Jazz Bass in the Kontakt Factory library. I've since upgraded to Chris Hein Bass which you can hear me demo over here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npzZpKmejqlmf8k

[@smdemmery]

@@peterbufano thanks for the reply I’m getting kontakt soon so that is good too know will check out Chris Hein bass too

[@baldrust]

At 4.20, you used the mode wheel to control the snare roll volume. How did you do that? Does it have to be configured through the DAW, or is it something in Kontakt? Thanks

[@peterbufano]

It works that way by default. No set up needed.

[@baldrust]

@@peterbufano Thanks for the response. Doesn’t work that way for me. Seems that the mod wheel is connected to velocity somehow. Is it your DAW? I submitted the question to Native Support w/ a reference to this video.

[@peterbufano]

@@baldrust It's the pitch bend wheel, not the mod wheel. (The mod wheel works with the high hat for open/closed.)

[@baldrust]

Thank you so much. This is a great demo video for this product. I appreciate your answer.

[@peterbufano]

@@baldrust have an awesome day!

[@ClydeMorrisMusic]

Gr8 review, thanks! How can I use it without a DAW?

[@peterbufano]

Kontakt and the free Kontakt player run in stand-alone mode.

[@ClydeMorrisMusic]

@@peterbufano many thanks Peter.

[@peterbufano]

@@ClydeMorrisMusic thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned for more!

[@peterbufano]

@@ClydeMorrisMusic here’s the walk through of the 80s drummer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6CvonZ7p5WNepY

[@anzatzi]

Visit the NI page, the sample tracks are amazing! Love the less ringy snare sound of all these kits vs EZ drummer. Thanks!

[@peterbufano]

I'm glad you stopped by to check it out!

[@sejuyz]

Is it possible to use these sounds for triggering real drums? That would be insanely cool.

[@peterbufano]

Of course these (like any virtual instrument) can be used as a sound source, triggered by MIDI signals. Is that what you meant by your question?

[@sejuyz]

@@peterbufano Yes. That´s exactly it.

[@dimelo_thian]

download?

[@peterbufano]

Sebastián Luquéz you can get 50s Drummer together with all of the other drummer series at www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/drums/abbey-road-50s-drummer/ I think it’s currently priced around $200. USD for all six in a pack.

[@sroom-tf4lr]

Hi, how can you make cymbals roll/swell?. Also with toms.. I do it with the velocity control but it dont sound natural. Thanks

[@sroom-tf4lr]

For example i use 2 cymbals. In a 16 grid i alternate 8 layers (like a roll). Then draw the vel curve line

[@marci6412]

@@sroom-tf4lr if you use midi and keep the velocity very low you can get it in 3 5 tries or so

[@sroom-tf4lr]

@@marci6412 thxs for the answer, already did it.. also there is 'cymbal roll' by Loop de la creme. i recommended those

[@sentientbeings3885]

Just play the sound ain't nobody tryna hear your word salad.you talk too much and about completely nothing

[@peterbufano]

Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for your comments.
