This week I came across a pretty useful free virtual drum kit plug-in. Drummic'a was created by Sennheiser and is great if you're looking for an authentic acoustic kit sound for your mixes.
One thing I'll note is that even though the plug-in has both an English and German language setting, this part of their site is in German. If you don't read German (like me ;)), simply download and install the Chrome web browser and visit the link below from there. Chrome will automatically translate the site for you from German to English.
There is a free registration required for the download but it's well worth your time. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Dear David.
Thank you for allowing Drummic’a download.
It does not exists anymore in Sennheiser website.
This doesn’t appear to be available anymore.
I downloaded the zip file. I got a macbok pro. The file came without an installer. So i had to throw it away. Its a shame there’s no help I could find, no one at Seenheiser I could reach to. Bummer, really. If you got a solution for that please let me know!
I found the free kit (Big Mono) at Analog Drums helpful. It’s at the bottom of the page at http://www.analoguedrums.com/details-bm.php If you like it the rest of their kits are inexpensive.
If you don’t have something to play virtual instruments I found the free Sforzando http://www.plogue.com/products/sforzando/
And for drum loops Groove Monkee at http://groovemonkee.com/ Good value here.
I’m trying to keep my recording hobby as inexpensive as possible and figure others do to – so this seemed like a good place to share these links.
I installed it. now what ? Doesn’t appear to be a VSTi, can’t find an EXE either
Manual is vague on what to do
Hey John, the install that I downloaded was a .zip file. This needed unzipped and there was a install file within the folder. This may be slightly different on a Mac as I’m using a PC.
Hope this helps
