M.A.C Kit: Resources for Oneshots and Trigger Bundle
OneShot Variations
With this bundle we’ve included One Shot samples that can be used with any DAW or triggering software. Each kit piece includes 5 variations of One Shots:
Direct - This is just the tight direct mic, to give you the power that only the up-close sound can give.
Full Blend - this is a general use mix that includes the direct mic sounds as well as overheads and some room. This is a great overall sound of the piece.
OH - this is just the overheads channel of the kit, which you can use to mix them in yourself with the direct, or add a nice overhead tone to your kit.
Room - This is just the Room channels recorded with the kit, giving a great room tone that can be mixed with the direct and/or overheads, or be used as a great room sample to augment any mix that needs more umpf.
FX Blend - This is taking the Full Blend to the next level, adding more rooms and more crunch, (or whatever else we thought sounded cool) just to have some fun with!
Trigger Presets
Our Trigger presets (compatible with Slate Trigger 2) are an expansion on the one shots, giving multi velocity and round robin hits to the samples. Each kit piece has 4 presets:
Main - The preset which includes the direct, the full blend and the FX blend in the articulation options.
Overheads - This is just the overhead sounds to add to your mix.
Room - This is just the room sound to add to your mix.
Full - A full Trigger preset, which loads all 3 channels (direct, overheads and rooms) at once, allowing you an easy way to get started with full mixing control.
To the side are videos on how to install and use these files, along with the track presets.
Pro Tools Track Preset & Logic Patch
To expand on the trigger presets, we’ve also included a Pro Tools Track Preset and a Logic User Patch, which build a playable kit using multiple Slate Trigger, including one MIDI Track to program on, and all the audio outputs pre-routed routed together.
TIP: It also includes a Cymbals track to load add any other drum sampler program with cymbals you like to build out a complete drum kit!
HOW TO: To the side are videos on how to install and use these preset files.
WARNING: You MUST install the Trigger Presets into the correct folders before moving these track presets into place (see above video)
