NEW YORK STUDIOS VOL.1 SDX still worth it in 2023?

[tendingtropic]

I learned today that the NEW YORK STUDIOS VOL.1 SDX used to be in the core library of SD2.

I kinda like the funky demo song on the website, so considered buying it, but perhaps the core library of SD3 is more or less an upgraded version of NEW YORK STUDIOS VOL.1 SDX?

I’m not sure, but the way I think about it is, why pay nearly $200 for 25gb of samples (New York). When you can get 180gb of samples for the same price (legacy of rock) . I think the size of the sdx speaks for is quality and available articulations. That’s just my guess

Tom2: PDA120-MS

yes thats my thoughts exactly. I’m currently mainly interested in funk style kits, currently already own decades and hansa next to the core library. So I wonder if this NY vol 1 (avatar) will be worth it…

 

anyone have it and is willing to share their experience?

Well I upgraded from sd2 and have the library and a few others from sd2. I don’t use any of them now so my answer is probably not worth it. It all depends on what you are doing though. I’m coming from the point of a drummer who plays in the drums from edrums and I like them to have all the extra articulations the sd3 kits have.

SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors
