MintberryCrunchHey Toontrack,
please release a tool for SDX sample pool sample editing: the buggyness of YOUR samples has taken such dimensions that it is no longer acceptable to an e-drummer!
Today I’ve first played e-drums with SD3 (after quite a long time of using other drum samplers) and I’m using the newest lib “Fields Of Rock” (only one kit until now) – and what should I say -> it is just ridiculous: I’m sure there are tons of buggy samples in that library. 🙁
After hearing weird cracking, crackles, clicks and other noises on my headphones while playing I’ve spent nearly a whole day doing research on 4 articulations that I suspected to cause these glitches. [ LINK ] And what do you think, how many buggy samples did I find within these few articulations (especially hihat and ride)? And what do you think will happen when I load other (F.O.R.) kit piece models and doing research after again crackling my head off – how many shitty samples will I find? Hmm…
I mean there is no problem to get rid of low end noises on hihats/cymbals BUT especially cracking sounds and crackles and hiss is a total no-go (even when not very loud in the original state). Also, squeaking noises (some noises sometimes even remind me of strange wailing or dog barking or howling winds lol – I wonder why most samples sound ok and clean – and then I hear that weird sound) sometimes are absolutely no fun!
I cannot imagine you’ll get this right and clean: if you’re not doing QC when recording and producing the libraries it is IMO an impossibility to find all these hundreds (or even more) of buggy samples afterwards that hide somewhere in between.
So what do you say about a possibility for the user to clean up the sample pool? You are absolutely in dept here! (my money also wasn’t faulty, was it?)
And I’m sure this ‘buggy samples thing’ won’t find an end. IMO it is far away from a professional and “SUPERIOR” demand ;).
I know that this ‘buggy sample thing’ is not very relevant for your main target group of music producers / drum programmers – BUT it is super relevant for e-drummers!!! If you do not consent to releasing an editor for your sample pool black boxes you’ll have to announce an official warning to e-drummers: “buggy samples -which can spoil the e-drum fun – can be included.”

Shen GAre you just loading up the default kit Jason, no FX/preset/changes and it’s happening?
I just did my version of a 3 minute ride solo with just channel solo’d, all layers and voices enabled and I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
Is it the bell, bow1/2, edge articulation? Perhaps a recording /project file could helpful.
