HiDERA | 28 March 2025 | 68 MB

If you’re wondering what AI can do for drum sampling, wait no more. In this DrumNet video tutorial course, production expert Larry Holcombe will walk you through DrumNet, the AI-powered drum machine from Session Loops that could revolutionize the way you build beats for good! From adding built-in sounds and programming a beat with the sequencer to creating your own custom samples, everything is covered in detail, so you’ll be thoroughly familiar with the instrument and ready to start using it on your very next production. These DrumNet videos are designed for new DrumNet users. To kick things off, Larry welcomes you and provides an overview of DrumNet’s interface, so you can immediately get your bearings and feel familiar as we move through the course. He then covers the Drum Kit view and shows how to add drum sounds – from the built-in collection or your own custom sounds – and generate your own samples based on these sounds, which can then easily be modified further (if desired) with a number of parameters, such as pitch, filters, etc.

STARK v1.2.3 WiN

Team TCD | 28 July 2025 | 14 MB

Amp Simulator

STARK is a fully fledged amplifier simulator consisting of four modules: Amplifier, Cabinet, Room and a Pedal board. The modules are processing audio separately, which makes it possible to combine different amplifiers with different cabinets and rooms. What separates STARK from other amp simulators is that the cab, amp and ambience modules are built on Klevgrand’s very own algorithms that doesn’t involve any convolution or FFT analysis. This approach renders a more natural response to dynamics over the whole frequency spectrum, plus the ability to fine-tune each profile in ways that just isn’t possible when using convolving methods.

Mixing Secrets Explained®

HiDERA | 28 March 2025 | 294 MB

If you’re feeling a bit bogged down with your workflow and/or aren’t happy with the results you’re getting with your mixes, then we have the mixing video course for you. In this video tutorial mixing course, mix wiz Thomas Cochran will show you several ways of mixing smarter, quicker, and more effectively. Whether it’s using combinations of plug-ins in the place of one to more successfully accomplish a goal, using one plug-in (such as a channel strip) to accomplish the tasks of several, or dealing with unwanted resonances, there’s a lot here for everyone. These mix videos are designed for intermediate-level recordists and mixers looking for tips on how to improve their results and process. Thomas begins the course by showing you a fast, tried-and-true method for leveling a signal with the 1176/LA-2A combination. Used on countless hits, this technique is famously used both when tracking and/or while mixing. Then you’ll see how to split equalization duties into two or more EQs, using one more for correction and the other more for color. Next, Thomas teaches you how you can tame unwanted resonances and harmonics with Soothe2 (Oeksound) and Pro-MB (FabFilter), demonstrating on two sources: piano and live strings. This is followed by a look at mixing bass effectively with the classic combination of a Pultec EQ and R-Bass (also known as Resonance Bass) from Waves. Finally, you’ll see how a channel strip, such as the SSL E from UAD, can be used to quickly mix multi-source instruments like drums, reducing plug-in clutter and enabling faster, more intuitive mixing moves.
