In the end of the video is a tweaked kit where i also tweaked the drum sound with additional effects. Here follows a video of some of the Kits and MIDI grooves included in the Chris Lord Alge expansion. I can not mention this enough but the room A and B feature is nearly addictive, I can alter sound in so many ways and I can get the room spread for a perfect mix.Īnd Remember all SSD4 instruments including the Chris Lord Alge expansion responds well to additional Tweaking for even more personalization. Pro-C a great compressor that is great for anything such as parallel compression. Then I decide to either keep all channels on one buss / channel in my DAW or set multi out option for further tweaks, Adjust some EQ and one of my favorites is to use the FabFilter The Chris Lord Alge expansion follows the original SSD4 standard and I just love how fast I can load a kit, change some instruments to my liking and adjust the bleed levels. Working with the Chris Lord Alge expansion I love the Room A/B feature as it allows me to tweak specific room sound for specific drums this is simply said even more flexibility. These are followed by a FX, OH, RoomA, RoomB and and Mono Channel. Taking a look at the Snares section we find that there is a nice variety of Snares in the Chris Lord Alge expansion I know people have been asking for “The Dong”, One of the snares that I like to have in nearly any setup is the Dry Pearl as it only has a slight OH bleed so I can use it to get more od that nice snap to the Snare sound.Īs we head into the SSD4 mixer we find Close mice channels for Kick in / Out and Sub, Snare Top, TopB (second mic taped to 1st ), Snare Bottom, Toms, and Hi-Hat. OT (Over the Top) have a crushed ambient sound (especially on the Overheads), this is meant to be used as blends for more more excitement and low end punch. When we go into the Instrument section of SSD4 we find that the kicks comes with additional features, HB=Hard Beater, SB=Soft Beater, wS= With Snare and OT = Over the Top.
