Pro Drums for Songwriters

DrumCore 4 is the ultimate producer/songwriter toolkit for drums. Featuring a growing library of audio loops and corresponding MIDI loops by world-famous drummers and percussionists, DrumCore 4 will be the core of your rhythmic inspiration for years to come.

DrumCore 4 Prime contains the new and improved upgrade of the award winning DrumCore 3 plug-in drum instrument with stereo 24 bit audio loops and MIDI recordings of inspiring performances by hit-proven drummers, plus greatly expanded grooves and kits on a high speed external drive. Now a 64-bit VST3/AAX/AU plug-in, DrumCore 4 Prime has an improved interface and several highly anticipated features. It's the perfect toolkit for songwriters, composers, musicians and producers. Simply drag and drop grooves to tracks in most Mac OS and Windows music software. It easily integrates with most popular recording applications on Mac OS and Windows.

Unique to DrumCore 4 is its laundry list of drumming greats, including Alan White (Yes and John Lennon), John Tempesta (The Cult, Testament, Exodus, White Zombie, Helmet), Lonnie Wilson (Brooks and Dunn, Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw), Luis Conte (Madonna and Clapton), Matt Cameron (Soundgarden and Pearl Jam), Matt Sorum (Guns N Roses and Velvet Revolver), Sly Dunbar (Bob Marley), Terry Bozzio (Zappa, UK and Missing Persons), and Zoro (Lenny Kravitz, Bobby Brown, Sean Lennon). DrumCore 4 is a fantastic way to get the most inspiring and professional sounding grooves into your tracks.

Audio Loops, MIDI files, and Sampled Drum Kits

DrumCore 4 Prime contains more than ten thousand tempo-stretchable, royalty free audio drum loops recorded in sparkling 24-bit 48kHz format. A large portion of the loops also have a matching MIDI version to edit or create your own fills and rhythms that work seamlessly with the audio. These MIDI loops can be used to trigger the included 100 multi-velocity sampled drum kits. Not enough? DrumCore 4 includes an online store built directly in the plugin that allows you to purchase and download even more loops, MIDI files, and sampled kits from an ever growing online collection.

Kit View Mixer

DrumCore 4 Prime is more than just a collection of tempo-stretchable audio loops. Switching to MIDI loops gives you an incredible amount of control over the sound and quality of the sampled kits. Using the new Kit Tab, users can mix, apply effects, and create customized kits using individual instruments from any the 100 included kits. Want the recognizable snare of Matt Sorum with the thunderous kick drum of Terence Higgins? The choice is yours.

In addition to being able to apply effects to the individual drums when using MIDI, all new stereo Master FX can be applied to both audio and MIDI loops. A compressor, parametric EQ, stereo delay are included with a pro quality spectrum analyzer to ensure you know exactly what's happening with your audio. Customize your sound directly in the plug-in without needed extra effects in your DAW.

Gone are the days of having to install multiple DVDs and CD-ROMs.
