Mixed and Mastered, Completed Sound
rum Tree is the flagship drum sound library of professional virtual instrument makers PREMIER SOUND FACTORY®, and is the work of a sound engineer who has spent 20 years seeking the essential elements of what makes a top class piece of music.
In spite of its cute, colorful design, Drum Tree packs a serious punch and an unprecedented deep and powerful sound energy. From start to finish, the music you create will be so polished that the user need never worry about EQ, COMP and mastering. Simply enjoy the optimum sound quality that rings out with every note.
You will not be able to contain your surprise and delight the first time you truly experience the benefits and reality of the mastering and mixing process that has been undertaken for Drum Tree.
To master the use of Drum Tree, is to become master of your own music. These drums will have a dramatic effect on the style and shape of your music, therefore when choosing a drum library, what’s important is to let “your sound” be the decider.
Engineer’s note: An even more important factor than high resolution.
One example is, it's very hard to treat the bottom end of kick correctly without subwoofer in a home studio. Blending top end of cymbals, or achieving perfect phase control are also difficult for people. This is engineer's work. It is our constant belief that achieving this kind of work is the responsibility of the engineer, and these techniques and knowhow should be provided to the music creator.
People always make such an effort trying to tweak this and that to improve the sound of their songs. But in fact, the reason that so much EQ and Comp has to be inserted is trying to improve the quality of sound libraries that are incomplete. That's the big problem. Furthermore all of this takes up a lot of the user's time, so it became our desire to create a superior sound library that would not waste any of your time and allow you to devote it towards musical creativity instead.
Drum Tree is of course recorded at 96kHz/24 bit , but what is even more important than high resolution is during the mixing and mastering process, whether conditions were perfect and you got everything you hoped for, sound wise.
The sound we provide is full of strength. Sound that does not become lost even when mixed in a crowded track. Sound that does not lose its lively presence and groove even when the fader is lowered. As veterans know, this is what is truly important, not just how great it sounds in solo.
Perfect sound from the first time you load it. No need for after editing, dream quality sound and presence all the way through. With this specific goal in mind, we set about producing a sound library that embodied all of this and it became our mission and uncompromising focus for a year and a half.
Many engineers agree using physical analogue gear over plugins will provide superior quality. Drum Tree has many technical points, but the most significant is that I only use the best hardware equipment that I believe in, to treat Drum Tree sounds. ( Normally in studios you are recording drums with other instruments at the same time, so usually this level of focus on drums cannot be achieved.)
When I say there is no need for EQ with Drum Tree, it doesn’t mean that I have done a lot of EQ to it already. What it means is that, through huge effort, the sound energy of both analogue and digital domains have been captured without any loss, producing astounding resolution and incredibly vivid phase. All of this can be expressed thanks to the careful capturing of premium sound from our finest instruments and equipment.
Having mixed and mastered thousands of songs over a 20 year period, it is a dream come true for me to release a drumming product into the market, having never encountered a drum library like it. It was this desire to have such a powerful drum library that was head and shoulders above the competition, that became the main reason for the production of Drum Tree. Once production began, it was a process in which I poured all of my enthusiasm, experience, original techniques and industry secrets in regard to recording methods.
That is why you don't need any plugins for Drum Tree.
