Drumcore eSoundz group buy

[WalMan]

Just a quicky for anyone looking for a different cheap(ish) drum track option for recording.

eSoundz is currently running a Submersible Drumcore Group buy [url="http://www.esoundz.com/details.php?ProductID=1995&refcode=drumcodegb"]HERE[/url] where presently you get the software (which includes a load of drum tracks already), plus 4 extra Drummerpacks, for $109. And with the way the dollar is at the moment that [b]really[/b] brings the price down.

I have just upgraded from the version that came with Mackie Tracktion3 and if I had seen this before I did this would have been the way I went..

It is different to things like EZDrummer DFH etc in that what you get is a bunch of tracks recorded by real drummers at different BPM's so that you can select the speed you want and it doesn't go weird on you in re working the clip to the tempo you want. The Gabrielizer function switches the tracks around reasonably intelligently to give you new loops, you can import your own loops and classify them by styles to make it easier to track down (this was what the software was, a librarian), plus you get the various kits and can play back midi drum tracks through those kits with ReWire.

Like I say different, but I love it

You will need to potentially factor in Import/VAT, but that will be small (if it gets picked up) at a $109 group buy price. Shipping to UK I am not sure of but have added a query to the mega thread on [url="http://www.kvraudio.com"]KVR Audio[/url] - Search for [i]eSoundz GB...DrumCore[/i] or you might get it [url="http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3082232#3082232"]HERE[/url]

Got a reply to the shipping query on KVR. It is $15 flat fee including to the UK, which makes it all the better as a deal.

I so wish I had seen this sooner!!

EDIT - just had a sodit moment & joined the buy anyway for the extra loop packs. I can always sell the bits I have already to cover the cost

And a final thought - [u][b][i]IF[/i][/b][/u] anyone does jump on this adding my eSoundz user name as referrer (AlEebee) would be good

The deal is now over the 200 barrier so you get
[list]
[*]DrumCore; plus the following DrummerPacks
[*]John Tempesta
[*]Urban GT - all midi loops & kits
[*]Bun E. Carlos - all audio loops
[*]Zoro - audio and midi loops
[*]Steve Gadd - all audio loops
[/list]
For $114 so about £60 delivered.

DC is around £100 on its own and the additional drummerpacks £20-40 each so a good deal if you are looking for loops (Ped? )

And now I shall shut up about this.

I know I said I would shut up about this, but there is a small extension on this offer until Monday - see the bottom of page 52 in the KVR thread [url="http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=215040&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=765"]HERE[/url].

As it has got up over 300 members now they are including even more loops included, so I thought it might be worth one last bump. If you are looking for something to add drums to tracks, or even just something to play drum loops to practice over this has become a great deal.

You can see some video demo's [url="http://www.submersiblemusic.com/TemplateGeneric.aspx?contentId=12"]HERE[/url]

And lastly if you do join up to [url="http://www.esoundz.com/"]esoundz.com[/url] and take part in this [url="http://www.esoundz.com/details.php?ProductID=1995"]group buy[/url] putting my user name - [b]AlEebee [/b]- as referrer gets both of us some credits to spend on esoundz.

....and now I really will shut up about this
