OVERVIEW

Upon the release of Drumkit From Hell Toontrack Music found
themselves defining drumsound quality both with the
musicmakers and the critics.

SOS Magazine awarded their FIVE STAR AWARD to Drumkit from
Hell and it's been the top selling library in the major
territories throughout 2003. EQ Magazine finished this
fantastic year by awarding Drumkit From Hell their newly
created EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AWARD.

No longer was it enough recording exceptional playing and
sound quality to fit other software formats. So, to be able to
take the vision of how sampled drums should sound beyond what
was already achieved, Toontrack had to take the process of
creating the ultimate drumproduct one step further.

Toontrack had to create their own definition, their own
standard. Shortly after the release of Drumkit From Hell, They
started the process of recording and developing the next
natural level of Drumkit from Hell sound.

dfh SUPERIOR is a drumlibrary combined with the
SUPERIOR-Plugin. Developed in Synergy to create real, life,
live, drums

THE IDEA...

Combining the bleed between microphones provides you with a
recording situation that is equivalent to having the worlds
best drummers & percussionists live in your studio.

The idea behind SUPERIOR is to make a programmable environment
as close to a real studiosession as possible. All leakage,
that are a big part of the soundin a drum recording bleeds
naturally through all mics.

SUPERIOR lets you choose wether or not you want bleeding in
each mic, and if you want less bleeding, say for example you
need to lower the volume of the hihat bleeding through the
snare microphone, or lower the snare in the overhead
microphone. No problem, you can adjust the level of any
instruments bleeding through any microphone.

We promise an entirely new world of playing styles,
programming and mixing capabilities. We will actually fly
those drummers into your computer whenever you could wish for
them and that's for a lot less than the price of an airline
ticket.

We always design our products with what we need as
musicproducers in mind. Here's where you think:
Does the world need another drum/percussion library? Our
answer would be no, and yes.

No as in: We don't need another loopbased drum/percussion
record that sounds amazingly much like the general midi in
your 80:s synthesizer.

Yes as in: There is definetly need for a percussion product
featuring great, clear percussion sounds played by a
professional guy with a distinctive personal style for use in
pop and rock productions. Together, the variety of drumkits
offered on dfh SUPERIOR and the percussion from Mikael Emsing
and Meinl will spell the most extensive hit, swish and boom
library that money can buy.
