DFH has some competition

audibleE · 12-27-2007, 09:27 PM

My friend Cole just informed me of this company, XLN Audio?

Their drums sound fantastic!!!! I'm a DFH superior owner and I'll have to say the toms and cymbals from the Addictive Drums plugin sound much much better.

I'll have to wait and see about the DFH 2.0 update, but at least there's another great sound option out there.

Check it out!!!

It sounds pretty interesting, but it doesn't seem to have as vast a library as DFHS. It looks like it has the out-the-box sound of EZD with some of the features of DFHS, which I think Superior 2.0 is going for. Certainly very interesting.

Quite pricey, though. €235. I thought they might charge less to entice users over from Toontrack. Oh well.

I've been using this software for a while now. I'll attest to it's greatness. My buddy at work has DHFS, and he is thinking about switching over to this instead. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for drum vsti software to check this out.

Not true. It has almost the same name brand kits and available drums. We'll see once 2.0 comes out. I heard that DFH 2.0 got rid of the DW drum kit...? I hope that's a rumor.

Interesting. I'll have to look into this!

Durero · 12-28-2007, 11:33 AM

Very interesting. I look forward to comparisons when DFHS 2 is released.

stuh84 · 12-28-2007, 12:52 PM

Please tell me its not just me who likes whats played in the Metal clip as well

Very interesting though, I may indulge in some more drum samples at some point....

Coryd · 12-28-2007, 03:54 PM

sounds pretty good, but i'll stick with DFHS

I'm not sure you're right, man. I haven't really scoured the site, but from the Features page, it states:

Sonor Designer (Kick, Snare, 5 toms)
DW Collector’s Series (Kick, Snare, 5 toms)
Tama Starclassic (Kick, Snare, 3 toms)

Extras:
Pearl Signature Ferrrone snare, Pearl Masterworks Piccolo snare, Pearl Masterworks kick

Cymbals: (Sabian & Paiste)
3 Hihats, 4 Rides, 9 Crashes, 3 Splashes & 2 Chinas

That looks to me smaller than DFHS. DFHS has way more cymbals (60), 5 kicks (I only count 4 with XLN), 17 snares, 8 hats, I think it has more toms, too, can't remember....plus the awesome cocktail and percussionist kits.

It certainly seems interesting, but with only 3GB of samples compared to DFHS's 40GB, and a smaller selection of drums, it looks like DFHS might be a little more robust. Plus, I don't really want the effects and stuff with the program. I can add them in my DAW without cutting down on sample libraries with the program.

True. It doesn't seem like it has as many samples as DKFH, but when you break it all down... no one is programming Neal Pert drums, where he has every drum, cymbal and percussion piece, or programming that awesome 30 min fill to hit every tone.

I'm getting a copy of the Addictive Drums from a friend so I'll A/B them when I get my new DAW put together next week. YAY!!! New computer!!!!
