Description : Ruby is the first release from our Boutique Drums series. We have consulted with our drummer Brian Scoggin (Casting Crowns) who prepared a set of truly exclusive drum parts for this release. We also chose to record at Hey Hey Studios in Griffin, Georgia due to its outstanding acoustics and engineering; a remarkable space providing tastefully balanced space and character.
Each of the eight mixes was created from scratch using an arsenal of processing tools, both hardware and software. We decided to develop presets outside of Kontakt to get what we felt was the exact mix with just the right amount of punch, balance and vibration, while still providing enough headroom for additional processing.
Under the hood, Ruby alternates between two different sets of hi-hat/ride multisamples; depending on how fast you hit successive notes for a given articulation. The first press triggers a single sample, while subsequent presses trigger repeated samples.
We’ve included five different hi-hat states for multisamples and live 8th note grooves that automatically sync to your DAW’s tempo: tight, normal, slightly open, medium open, and full open; the grooves are recorded at 90/120/140 beats per minute.
We also believe we have developed hi-hat grooves with release trigger crossfades. With the modulation wheel down, the loop will play in the tightest state of the hi-hat. When you determine the modulation wheel up, the hi-hat opens. It’s damn cool.
