LATEST SR NEWS: Sonic Reality Releases "Nick Mason Drums" Sample Library for BFD

Sonic Reality is proud to announce the release of "Nick Mason Drums", a drum kit sample library series which is first being made available in FXpansion's BFD2 format. The product is currently available as a download exclusively from esoundz.com http://www.esoundz.com/details.php?Prod ... de=NMBFDPR

The BFD version of "Nick Mason Drums" is a digital recreation of the legendary Pink Floyd drummer's "Custom Ludwig® Black Kit" and was recorded by engineer/producer Alan Parsons who originally recorded the album "Dark Side of the Moon". The same classic miking techniques and EMI mixing console model was used as they did in 1973 so that "Nick Mason Drums" could offer an authentic recreation of a vintage drum sound heard by millions on one of the best selling albums of all time.

Nick Mason Drums for BFD is an expansion sound library for FXpansion's BFD2 and BFD3 software which allows discrete multi-channel drum kits to be played from any midi keyboard or e-drum. Individual mic channels can be mixed by the user to create a variety of drum sounds from dry to ambient. The drums are mapped in both standard BFD formats and Sonic Reality's advanced "iMap" layout for high performance in midi drum programming and live playing. Coming in at close to 5 gigabytes in size this high quality drum kit from Mason and Parsons offers top "album quality" sound.

"Being a fan of Nick Mason, Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons myself for so many years it was incredible to be recreating the sonic magic with them 40 years later for a sample library" says Sonic Reality CEO Dave Kerzner "I think it's great that musicians will now be able to use an element of their style and sound in their own music productions for many years to come."

In addition to the digital recreation of Nick's drum kit, live drum grooves were also performed by Nick Mason and recorded by Alan Parsons for upcoming loop libraries and more from Sonic Reality. Other formats such as Reason, SampleTank, Kontakt, Rex, Apple Loops, Acidized Wave and Stylus RMX are coming soon from http://www.esoundz.com and select Sonic Reality dealers and distributors world-wide.

Will there be other formats released for the Nick Mason kit? (eg. Kontakt Infinite Player?)

Nick Mason's style influenced my heavier than typical usage of the Ride Cymbal.

I'll answer my own post (it pays to read): :wink:

I hope this is going to be released in either Reason, Kontakt or Sample Tank formats. I can't go to a 4th format, it doesn't make sense $$$$. If so I would get this. Kontakt gives me the most flexibility with multi outputs. That would be my first choice and the Reason. :D

is this dry or processed like platinum samples?
I don't know what to write here that won't be censored, as I can only speak in profanity.

There's no ambient processing. It's essentially "dry" but Alan Parsons did EQ the drums on an old EMI desk like he did on Dark Side of the Moon. So it has that flavor in it. However, it's a very natural drum sound. The original Floyd drum sound was more of a direct sound and this kit also includes natural room ambience as an option even though they didn't use it much (because they recorded drums with the rest of the band playing together live and therefore couldn't capture a room sound without the rest of the instruments).

Intro price is still going but it could end at any time. It's a really good price in the first place though.

Yes all Sonic Reality BFD expansions are available as download.
