drumasonic at a Glance

As the name suggests, drumasonic represents a high-end approach: A comprehensive virtual drum sound library with top of the line recording quality, flexibility and sonic versatility, developed with minute attention to detail, meeting the high standards required by professional drummers and mixing engineers. All signals were converted with high-end equipment directly after the preamps. The goal was to provide the discerning musician, sound technician or producer - in the sense of authentic drum miking - a variety of phase-coherent, freely combinable and routable signals out of a selection of distinct recording rooms. With its integrated high-end eects, powerful groove modifying, playing and recording features, a modular preset system, and many more sophisticated features, drumasonic will quickly reveal itself to you as a comprehensive drum software solution. The importance of maximum phase correlation - especially for multi-channel recorded drums - should not be underestimated: if the phases of such transient-rich signals cancel each other out, even the finest recordings will sound poor and thin. The meticulously optimized phase correlation of every signal combination among with the most responsive microphone preamps is one of the great secrets of drumasonics outstanding sound with its extraordinary impact and clarity.
