Toontrack Singer Songwriter EZX Expansion

Product Description

Toontrack Singer Songwriter EZX Expansion is a homage to productions that don’t call for big reverbs, pumping side-chain compression or excessive amounts of saturation, they just need the bare, unscripted and acoustic truth. Presented here is a collection of nuanced, sparse, mellow and mature-sounding drum kits.

Welcome to the epitome of a bespoke drum library for any selective songwriter who considers the raw, unbridled voice of a drum kit as much of a storyteller as the song itself.

The Singer-Songwriter EZX was recorded in a choice room, relatively small and transparent to ensure minimum ambient coloration. In total, it includes five full kits recorded with sticks as well as one configuration and several additional instruments sampled with brushes. To paint the broadest picture possible, each kit was handpicked for its contrasting qualities, character and tonal complexity. Seeking to deliver the most homogeneously composed kits, the selective process was scrutinized in extreme detail – from the matching of heads with tuning and cymbal sizes with drum timbres down to the delicacy of the drummer’s stroke.

The result is the consummate collection of organic, full-bodied and warm-sounding drums for laid-back train beats, smooth, brushed pocket grooves or any steady backbeat. Welcome to let touch, tone and timbre define the backbone of the rhythm section on your next Americana, folk, acoustic pop or other track filed under the amazing width of the singer-songwriter genre.

THE PRESETS

The preset library includes a collection of settings designed to bring out the raw, genuine and acoustic character of each kit. Don’t expect heavily saturated or compressed drum mixes – rather a collection of delicately engineered but still colorful kit presets intended to seamlessly work in any acoustic or organic-sounding production.

THE MIDI

The Singer-Songwriter EZX MIDI content includes a basic collection of laid-back, mellow and fundamental grooves, tailored for any style commonly associated with the genre. It also covers a selection of percussion patterns involving the included instruments, like shakers and tambourines. Simply drag, drop, mix and match to map out entire organic-sounding performances. As always, with the ‘Edit Play Style’ feature – the creative possibilities are endless.
