Product Description

The Toontrack Decades SDX Expansion is a massive collection of drum samples recorded by one of the most prolific audio craftsmen of our time, Al Schmitt. The Decades SDX was recorded at Capitol Studios and comes with five drum kits, all handpicked to represent a specific sound or era in Al’s career. Expect a palette of immaculate drum sounds encapsulating not only a lifetime of experience working at the apex of the industry, but just as much a personal and reflective collection of kits that in a way represents his entire body of work. From jazz and big band to rock, fusion, pop, funk, and AOR – the Decades SDX covers all the styles that can be traced back to Al’s illustrious lifetime achievement.

ABOUT AL SCHMITT

Al Schmitt’s footprint in the recording industry is hard to fathom or even put down in words. Just the numbers alone are mind-boggling: 727 recordings, 160 gold and platinum albums, and 23 Grammy Awards.

Scrolling through his discography is even more daunting – his hands and ears have literally shaped our collective music history. From now immortal icons like Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, and Sam Cooke to Madonna, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Barbara Streisand, and Paul McCartney – Al has worked with them all.

UNCOMPROMISING INSTRUMENT DETAIL

To us, sampling sounds for an SDX is more than merely recording instruments. It is the craft of capturing the essence and every unique voice of each instrument to give you, the user, the ability to produce limitless and stunningly real performances.

THE PRESETS

To inspire and enable you to make music immediately, the Decades SDX includes a total of 42 mix-ready presets showcasing an amazing width and scope of use.

THE MIDI

Just like the drum sounds, the MIDI was designed to reflect the scope of Al’s remarkable career and covers material suitable for anything from pop, rock, AOR, and soul to jazz-fusion, small-ensemble jazz, big band, and Latin jazz. The MIDI library also features an extensive collection of grooves and patterns specifically designed for use with brushes and mallets. In addition, all of the included MIDI was recorded exclusively using the different drum kits of the Decades SDX. As a result, it makes use of the great detail and extensive number of articulations that was recorded for this SDX library.
