You just updated a product I've had for years and didn't use to a product I've had for years that I will start using. Great sound and tight. This is like having a new drum plugin that is current and radio ready in my book. Kudos to you for sharing this. Very cool of you.

I had the same issues with these kits when I first started with them about 10 years ago. And just like you, after gaining a bit more experience (and buying better monitors/headphones), I found the Abbey Road drummer kits to be at the apex of drum libraries due to all the velocities and variations of hits. I saw some post--years ago--where someone peeled back the curtain on a bunch of drum libraries and the Abbey Road kits were at the top of food chain for velocity and variation. The hardest one to tame is Studio Drummer, for sure. It's the kicks in that library--there's something about them that feels so disconnected from the rest of the samples, so you gotta start fresh with the "INIT" setting and build these sounds from the ground-up. I tend to start by muting all the OH/Room channels and balance the direct mics first, in mono. Once I've got that balance, I solo and balance the overheads (again, in mono) and then un-solo it and bring them into balance with the direct mics. I basically am just looking for the right balance with the cymbals. Usually, the room mics are good, so I don't do much to them except some compression and a little EQing.

I just installed all of your NKIs and updated the resources paths by doing a "save as" to overwrite the original .nki. A work around for the grooves not being there is to load a factory version just after the Cory version and then find the grooves you want and drag them out into the DAW (onto the track where the first instance of cory's version lies).

Quite a nice update! I really like the abbey road kits but was pretty shocked by how dull the presets were. Their UI is pretty weird but their mixer and FX interface is very extensive and sounds great once dialed in. Mixing a full drum kit is a lot of work no matter how you do it, so I suppose it's aimed more at engineer types who want those dry sounds to work with. Still, selling such a deep-featured kit with zero presets and a handful of mixer settings is an odd choice even for NI. Thanks for the kits!

I like the Abbey Road libraries specifically because they're quite unprocessed and natural, and as you said, very responsive to playing due to the sampling depth. This allows me to get the performance nuances I want and do whatever I want in the mixing phase. But yes, if you're looking for mix ready sounds right out of the box for a genre-typical sound, there are better options.

oh wow! Tbh i love the abbey road modern drummer sparkle kit. It's my go to kit for any pop/rock-like stuff! (or I'd say: for anything but orchestral and jazz), even compared to other drum libraries like Addictive Drummer or Steven Slate Drums! It's super natural to play with my E-Drums but even with a keyboard and the midi files from all AbbeyRoad/Studio Drummer are useful, not always great, but a good starting point. But that's just my point of view and it's always a matter of taste, I guess ;)
@anzatzi2 жыл бұрын
I enjoyed hearing these libraries. Generally, I liked the original kits better, except where there were serious gain issues. These sounds are meant to sit behind in a mix; they are not 'rock hero' drums like EZ drummer. Think Motown, Beatles, etc. I think some of your mixes made the toms too prominent. Thanks

Loving your patches. Perfekt for dusting off those drum libraries I never really used, tbh. Just like you've said, I was very underwhelmed by them. Speaking of drums - do you plan on reviewing the recently released Drumatic Creator from In Session Audio? The library is on sale for a few weeks and I'm still hesitating investing in new drum and percussion libraries. There's just too many of them. Because you also reviewed their Taiko Creator, which I am loving to death, I'd really appreciate your opinion on it. Keep up the great work, Cory! Best Regards

Man! Are you using a drum kit to trigger these or all programming? WOW. I love the Komplete drums, but you are a magician. I need to learn to mix ASAP. I use these, Handheld Sound's MAD, SD3, SSD5, 8dio's, Reason Drum kits, and Addictive drums all of the time and if I could get them to sing like this I'd be a hit maker. I want to try BFD and GGD, but at this point I think I might be set on drums. Thanks for the patches!

Great sounds on the nki's, but when loaded the drum key locations don't correspond with the original library locations. Is this by design, or am I doing something wrong? Also, the grooves are missing. Anyway, they sound great. Thanks for doing this, and for sharing the patches!

I remapped the keys, but you can remap them to the way you like in the remap page. The grooves are missing because I had to make room for the velocity script and the grooves were the only thing I could really get rid of without affecting the entire instrument.

Hi and thanks for this. Unfortunately, the "Late 60's" patch doesn't work here. It says while loading that 16088 files could not be found in "resources/Samples/ARD_60s....nkx. When loaded, the interface is unreadable. Besides, something I don't get is that the name of your library is "Abbey Road 60's Late Kit Standard". This one is anywhere to be found. it's either full, vintage or Lite here but haven't seen anywhere that "standard" kit in my setup or even online. I was so eager to trying your patch as it is exactly the sound I always wanted to achieve and haven't found anywhere else.... Anyway, you already helped me so much, I thank for all this. It's brilliant. Take care!
@CoryPelizzari4 жыл бұрын
You may have to browse the entire Abbey Road folder to see if it locates the samples (often the samples folder and the .nkx are in different places within the library folder), either that or there could be an issue with different versions of Kontakt.
