EZX vs. SDX

[smclaurin2]

This seems like it should be a simple question but I am just still looking for clarification. I currently have SD 2.3 and am awaiting arrival of NY Vol. 2. I am looking to expand and see that for some of the EZX sets there are similar SDX sets (i.e. Nashville and Music city, Metal Machine and Metal Foundry).

What are the major differences since the SDX are approximately $100 more expensive?

Are the EZX sets a good way to get additional kits into my library or are they somehow not as good as SDX?

For example, I am intersted in the POP! EZX and there doesn’t seems to be an equivalent SDX. Is there anything about ezx functionality in SDX that I need to be concerned with? Thanks!

SDX’s come with more samples generally. Are bigger. More velocities and variations, round robins, more kit pieces. Are 24 bit instead of 16 bit. Frequently have add-on preset packs where EZX’s usually do not.

However, don’t be afraid of the EZX’s. Absolutely nothing wrong with them, and are typically lighter on computer memory resources.

You shouldn’t be paying more than about $80 for an SDX. Additionally, they will have specials frequently. I’ve gotten them for as little as $60 apiece.

EZX’s are pre-processed…whereas SDX expansions are pretty raw.

Except that SDX’s also come with combined presets or allow for rolling your own, making them either pre-processed or raw or processed per your own specifications, depending on your inclination.
