I know a lot has been written on all of these, but I thought I would get the opinion of fellow FL Studio users before making the final decision.I get so many emails and comments on a weekly basis asking how I record my electronic drums so I decided to make an updated video on MY process of recording my drum covers. Superior Drummer 2.0 - I have heard good things about the sounds and ease of use.Īnyway, what do you guys think, considering the user habits I described? Would there be one that would fit the bill more than others? What do you like to use? A complaint I've heard is that the presets are too over the top, but I am capable of tweaking.įXpansion BFD3 - I have heard great things, but I'm not sure if this is a program I would need to be much more into tweaking for. I also heard that there are a lot of grooves included. Steven Slate Drums 4 Platinum - I hear that you get some nice sounds out of the box, without much mixing required. I have been leaning towards one of these three: I would like to be able to vary the tempo and effects as I need to, and not be stuck with too much compression on a sound, too much reverb, etc.

I have been using FPC up to this point, but I don't seem to be able to get the drums to sound three dimensional, despite the fact that I route the different drums to their own channels, etc. The songs lean towards the rock or pop rock genres, I would say. I am wondering what the best realistic drums plugin would be for me.Ī little background, I have a home recording setup, write songs, record songs, etc. Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
