Elliot Scheiner 塑造了无数不朽专辑的声音,例如 Steely Dan 的“Aja”,参与制作了总计 91 张白金认证唱片和 14 张金认证唱片,获得了 25 项格莱美奖提名(最终赢得八项)、四项艾美奖提名(最终赢得两项)和三项 TEC 奖提名,并且入选 TEC 名人堂并获得环绕声先锋奖,Elliot 堪称音乐唱片界的传奇人物。此外,他还为标志性的好莱坞电影(“教父”)和几部备受赞誉的百老汇作品以及碧昂丝、Foo Fighters、老鹰乐队等歌手的环绕声音乐会和纪录片录制或混音,是现场和电影音响领域的偶像人物。如果给他这样的人全权负责鼓、录音室、麦克风和设备,会发生什么?简短的回答就是 State of the Art SDX,这是一组完美捕捉的优美鼓声合集。
Superior Drummer 3 的 SDX 扩展包含 7 个从复古到现代的鼓组,全部经过精心挑选,以展示音调和音色的最大宽度。该鼓组在 Elliot Scheiner 的首选工作室——纽约州北部著名的 Clubhouse 录制,拥有三种不同的房间氛围:微妙、干燥和紧凑的 Studio Iso、温暖而亲切的 Library 以及震撼力十足但声学效果完美的 Live Room。此外,选定的鼓组使用画笔采样,并使用 Decca Tree 麦克风设置或其他氛围录制,为您提供更多不拘一格的风格供您选择。
除了鼓之外,还提供由 Elliot 和 Toontrack 声音设计团队提供的预设,让您可以立即开始使用完全平衡且可混音的声音。除此之外,还包含大量受鼓组、Elliot 唱片和整个演奏会氛围启发的自定义节奏和填充。所有这些结合起来,这款 SDX 为您提供了鼓、混音和节奏的全套服务。
有人可能会认为,称使用音频录制领域最可靠技术录制的 SDX 为最先进的技术是自相矛盾的,但事实上,在录音室中任何人都可以录制乐器。然而,真正捕捉乐器的真实声音,取决于出色的工程设计和经验。这款 SDX 的每一个麦克风位置和技术决策都融入了五十年的实际音频工艺,最终产生了原始、无拘无束和残酷真实声音的数字波形。没有猜测或运气,只有对让乐器听起来一模一样的工艺的纯粹热爱。将所有这些放在地球上最先进的鼓制作软件框架中,只能被贴上这个 SDX 标题的确切含义:“特定时期艺术或技术的最高发展程度。”
如果您正在寻找一系列动态、深沉且富有质感的音调 – 透明且谐波丰富,足以让您磨练、塑造和调整它们以适应几乎任何音乐环境,那么这款 SDX 是您的不二之选。简而言之:借助此扩展,您将获得业内绝对最佳的鼓机之一,通过最好的设备捕捉到最好的鼓声。
Having shaped the sound of numerous immortal albums, like Steely Dan’s “Aja,” worked on a total of 91 platinum- and 14 gold-certified records, received 25 Grammy Award nominations (winning eight), four Emmy nominations (winning two) and three TEC Awards nominations as well as being a TEC Hall of Fame inductee and a recipient of the Surround Pioneer Award, Elliot Scheiner is nothing short of a legend in the music recording industry. To add, having recorded or mixed soundtracks for iconic Hollywood films – like “The Godfather” – and several highly praised Broadway productions as well as surround concerts and documentaries for the likes of Beyoncé, Foo Fighters, the Eagles and many more, Elliot is just as much an icon in the fields of live and cinema sound. What happens when you give someone like him a carte blanche on drums, studio, mics and gear? The short answer is the State of the Art SDX, an absolutely impeccably captured collection of beautifully acoustic drum sounds.
This SDX expansion for Superior Drummer 3 features seven vintage-to-modern kits, all handpicked to showcase the absolute maximum width of tones and timbres. Recorded at Elliot Scheiner’s choice studio, the famed Clubhouse in Upstate New York, it boasts three different room ambiences; the subtle, dry and tight Studio Iso, the warm and intimate-sounding Library as well as the hard-hitting but still acoustically perfect Live Room. To add, selected kits were sampled using brushes and recorded with a Decca Tree microphone setup or alternative ambiences, giving you an even more eclectic palette of flavors to choose from.
In addition to the drums, presets by Elliot as well as the Toontrack sound design team are provided, allowing you get started instantly with fully balanced and mix-ready sounds. On top of that, a generous collection of custom grooves and fills inspired by the kits, Elliot’s discography and the overall vibe of the session are included. All combined, this SDX gives you the total package of drums, mixes and grooves.
One might argue the contradictory in calling an SDX captured using some of the most tried-and-true techniques in audio recording state-of-the-art, but fact is that in the studio anyone can record an instrument. Actually capturing what an instrument truly sounds like, however, comes down to great engineering and experience. This is an SDX in which five decades worth of hands-on audio craftsmanship is imbued in every single mic placement and technical decision that ultimately lead to digital waveforms of raw, unbridled and brutally honest sound. No guesswork or strokes of luck involved, just pure love for the craft of making instruments sound exactly like they do. The sum of all those things put in the framework of the most advanced drum production software on the planet can’t be labeled anything other than the exact meaning of the title of this SDX: “the highest degree of development of an art or technique at a particular time.”
If you’re looking for a collection of dynamic, deep and textured tones – transparent and rich in harmonics enough for you to be able to hone, shape and tweak them to fit in virtually any musical context, this SDX is a must. Simply put: with this expansion you’ll get the best of drums captured with the best of gear by one of the absolute best in the history of the business.
