  • Soft Drums fills the gap between jazz drum kits and dead 70's kits. Muted yet somehow still vibrant and expressive.

    Jon, you are THE most un-annoying presenter on TH-cam. I have tried and I just cannot become annoyed with your delivery, voice, style, etc. Oh, and the instruments? First rate. Thanks for making such good stuff.

    Disappointed you didn't wear the tea towel on your head for the whole video. In other news, this is an auto-buy. The UI is no joke. Incredibly well done.

    Echoing other sentiment in the comments here, is there any hope of a stand alone AU/VST, or a version that doesn't require Kontakt? I'd love to dig into these sounds!

    I'm looking forward to this. I'm definitely NOT a 'beat maker', nor into EDM, but more into neoclassical/electronica. So always appreciating the softer side of drums/percussion....!

    I just KNEW there was more going on with that compressor than previous versions of Kontakt, well done! Sounds fantastic. And the amount of work you put in under the hood (and hi Owen!) is remarkable and really well thought out. Kudos all around!

    i want to make a drum sample pack of my kit. i have a 70s ludwig standard kit sounds great. except idk if the bearing edges are bad or if my hoops are bent. i can’t get the floor tom to sound good. it has the weird vibration that rings out after you hit it. i’ve tuned it so many times. the only time it doesn’t do it is if i have it tuned really high but then it just sounds like garbage anyway. but also that marching kick is sweet. i just got a 1920s ludwig marching kick 27” i just need to find heads for it. i’m stoked for it though. my dad has a ludwig set that’s all the same specs as bonhams, but i’m stoked for the vintage sound. nice mahogany shell too should sound sick

    @robshrock-shirakbari1862 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    About to buy this; but I wish there was a decay control, especially for tightening up that kick directly in the interface.
    EDIT: Any possibility of adding decay and tuning? I'm 5 minutes into playing it, and find myself wanting to tweak the tuning on the snares and the decay on the kicks. Really digging the sounds.

    Just purchased, loving it so far!
    One question though, the snapshots don't seem to load?
    The down arrow next to "DEFAULT" doesn't do anything, nor do the left + right arrows on the same strip.
    There is a snapshots folder and I was able to drag them and get it loaded that way, but only one at a time.
    Is there a way to get them all in there so using the arrows would enable to scroll through them?
    Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

    • @JonMeyer
      @JonMeyer  ปีที่แล้ว

      I need to make a video about this process. For now, check this resource...karanyisounds.com/how-to-install-kontakt-snapshots/
      You might need to create a Soft Drums folder inside your .../User Content/Kontakt Folder
      I know it's a bit of a pain, but it's the only way to get those snapshots loaded properly

      I understand your point. It’s extremely difficult communicating Kontakt vs Kontakt player. I try to make it as simple as possible, which actually ends up confusing more experienced users like yourself. But no matter what I say or how many times I write it on the website, I still get purchased from folks who have not purchased the Full version.

    Hi Jon, just a quick note to let you know that your description link to soft drums has a typo (.comc) and so it doesn’t work. Hope that helps. That aside, great video and an exciting new drum VST I’m seriously considering…
