But the UI itself is very easy to use with IMO no manual required & drag & drop makes things so much easier. The GUI is growing on me but I still think it could do with maybe a bit more polish & the mixer tracks made a bit smaller. I wonder just how much extra money you'd have to spend on the likes of Superior Drummer to match the sheer amount of samples that come with SSD 4.0 Premium, I'd say quite a bit.

Most of us use our favourite FX plugins on drums anyway, so to keep things more simple & user friendly, SSD 4.0 is about the drums & the drums only. My initial thoughts were, 'where's the EQ, what no compression or other FX' But as Steven stated on the SSD forum, SSD 4.0 is solely about the drums with lots of choice for multiple genres, top quality samples & a simply laid out UI.

Some of the kits use maybe 3 or 4 snares/kicks blended nicely to get a very full sound & just tweaking the amount of bleed & volume between each instrument can dramatically change the sound.

Had a chance today to really give SSD 4.0 a proper play & spent a bit of time tweaking the sound & I gotta say its REAL NICE, especially for a drummer (says the guitarist wanna be drummer). Haven't had a chance to annoy the neighbours yet with my DM5 Pro.I CANT WAIT TOO!! It really does sound amazing all my old favourites are there & they sound a bit livelier than before. The most important function of SSD4.0 is totally spot on & that's the sound. Sorry Steven if I come across all negative. & each track of the mixer staying at the output selected at the start.

It'd be better if the mixer was separate from the sounds & the sounds would just load into the mixer, eg. My main gripe is the outs of the mixer reverting back to out 1 when changing kits, this is a definite workflow killer. Is there any chance that the mixer could be made smaller? Its pretty massive & it'd be nice to have the whole mixer (or most of it) in view without having to scroll. I think its the whole hand painted metal look just isn't doing it for me. Firstly sorry to say it but the GUI is a bit on the ugly side, it does look much better though when you change the view to cell mode. It really does sound amazing & the UI is very simple & easy to use but I do have a few issues. These are only small aspects, the main point i wanted to get across is that i a REALLY pleased with the purchase - it's sounds GREAT.ДЇinally got round to buying SSD 4.0 Platinum. Hey Steven, wanted to report into this thread that I am really very pleased with SSD4 (I am a new Slate Drums user)- using with Logic with no problems.ДЄs a Komplete owner, I use Abbey Road & Studio Drummer - and it is great to be able to easily switch between kits in SSD4 to see what sound i want - they load pretty fast and it's a much neater than NI's solution.ДЄ couple of features that i think would improve things.ДЎ/ meters on the channel mixers & perhaps a 'master out'ДЄnd maybe some form of labeling/colored keyboard (ala kontakt) that you can view so that there is an indication - on kit view - what notes represent what (currently the 'select drum and see what notes - and maybe scroll through' is a little less intuitive than how kontakt uses the show/hide color shaded keyboard when using Studio Drummer/Abbey Road)
