George Massenburg’s contribution to the world of audio technology is hard to emphasize in words. Superior Engineer, Audio Pioneer, Professor and Inventor We’d dare to say that this is the most nuanced and candidly captured sample library on the market. Superior Drummer 3 called for a superior studio. Perfect acoustics, balanced reverberation and second-to-none recording technology. In fact, with only 14 dBA of environmental noise, the main hall at Galaxy Studio is the most quiet recording space of this size in the world. In addition, the entire studio complex is built on springs to ensure that the outside interference is literally non-existent. With its 330-square meter room and eight meter ceiling height, it was the ideal location for capturing immersive audio of the utmost quality. The Superior Drummer 3 core sound library was recorded at Galaxy Studios in Belgium.

Drumtracker comes with a built-in library of drum samples, so you can audition the results of the audio-to-MIDI conversion process. The output of each track can the mapped to different MIDI notes, and General MIDI maps allow for simple exporting. An intuitive interactive display of the audio waveform provides an easy-to-use interface. The velocity and timing of the detected hits can be altered and even deleted, and filters can be applied to the detection algorithm on each track so that it searches only for, say, kick drum hits or open hi-hat sizzles. Cleverly, the application can import multiple tracks from a multi-mic session, giving the user control over each recorded drum or cymbal. It analyses audio and locates hit points, which can be edited to create a master MIDI track, to help beef-up, or entirely substitute, a drum track.
