thanks for the input Cody, that helps a lot. I’m glad I pronounced something right!

I was really impressed with the sounds man, they have a “real” quality to them that I just don’t get all the time.

Nice, review, man, and great product. I am a rock guy – a guitarist – and those sounded great. Everything sounded good, I was especially impressed with the bass sounds. They were huge.

I noticed your one comment about people who actually play the instruments. I play guitar, so I would do most of my own guitar playing – but recording industrial stuff, I still think it would be cool layering live guitar with the digital stuff programmed in there with it.

Btw, it is pronounced “eye-banez” so you got it.

Thanks for the info, great article and great video review as well.

Thanks man! Yeah…folks that can actually play an instrument, they’d use something like this out of convenience I guess…but nothing beats a real instrument if you know how to play it.

good samples come close tho

thanks for the response.

I agree man lol, that’s why I said of course real musicians always know what’s missing. I don’t play guitar or bass lol, so I couldn’t have noticed a lot of what you did. I agree the drums are nice. Fab Four is awesome lol, I’ll be doing a review on that as well…and BFD…yeah…craziness man…they had something at namm that’s going to shake things up quite a bit!

thanks for the input as always yo! I really appreciate it.

What up Joe. That app is not bad but of course it can’t match a real guitarist or bass player. I play the guitar & bass so I pretty much just used this for the rock style drums. The drums are sweet. I do use some of the guitar & bass sound effects to overlay with what I do play sometimes. But don’t get it twisted because the sounds in this app are very usable but they don’t offer things like pull-offs, hammer-ons, notes slides (like sliding from octaves), different effects achieved through the use of stomp boxes etc. like a real guitarist can use.

All in all I think the drums included are worth having also you should check out Fab Four. The drums & instruments on that give you the sounds of yesteryear that the Beatles used. Really tight sounding if you are into that.

I’m not sure if East West still offers this but when I brought these they had a special “Buy one get one free”. I brought the Fab Four application and got Ministry of Rock for free.

If you are looking for some really really nice drums for rock type tracks you should check out FXpansion BFD2. That is the bomb!!! Highly customizable.

Peace

Yesssssssss, SILK is crazy, I actually like it better than RA, gypsy is cool for guitars, but I like the guitars in here better…well, Gypsy has some good acoustics though.

I have SILK and its crazy. Super realistic. I use it to make my own “samples” to chop up. Some of the patches like the huge persian orchestra (which is craaaazy) might make a weak system hiccup when loading. I was thinking about this or Gypsy for guitars.
