Understanding the Expansion Packs…

[Taffypro]

Hi,

I own boith Superior Drummer and EZ Drummer and have noticed there is some overlap in the expansion packs. For example the Nashville EZX has the same basic kit which is included in the Music City USA SDX pack. Is there a link which shows these overlaps so I know if I am buying duplicates??

Thanks,

Gary

Hi,

while there are some EZX:s that are derived from SDX sessions, it’s not exactly correct to call them duplicates.
The EZX:s are slimmed down in terms of amount of instruments, microphones and sample pool. They are also pre-mixed in a way the SDX:s aren’t.
The SDX:s give you way more flexibility besides more drums to choose from.

For example:
The Music City SDX is about 12 GB and the Nashville EZX is 1,2 GB.
The Progressive Foundry SDX is 64 GB, the Progressive EZX is 4 GB.
The Rock Warehouse SDX is 20GB, the Rock Solid EZX is 1,2 GB
The Roots Sticks + Brushes SDX:s are 36 GB + 28 GB while the Jazz EZX is 1 GB.

John,

Thank you for your response. I understand that they are trimmed down and that the SDX bundles are much better. I received a free EZX library when I purchased EZ Drummer (which I haven’t authorized) and I don’t want to buy sounds I already own. Is there any sort of list that would help me sort this out? For example there is the Americana EZX/The Blues EZX//70’s bundle ect..and I am looking for a list of where I can see where any overlap might occur.

Thanks,

Gary
