![]() You can ‘mute’ pads in kit slots that aren’t being used, and remap pads from other kits to use the same channel. While you cannot edit the pads of such ‘locked’ kits, you can ‘remap’ them a bit. There’s a pretty solid work around if you need to add custom bits to a kit, or even mix and match more than one acoustic agent. Other reasons for locking it might be copy protection, and just making the product slightly easier to service, and harder to ‘break’ by accident. Changing the kit could break the way those grooves were intended work. It can sound pretty goofy to the trained ear, when it’s obvious samples were made using different sticks, a mix match of head types, different striking techniques, made in different rooms, etc.Īcoustic Agent kits also have those groove tools with macro screens that you can ‘dial in’. FULL acoustic drum KIT…all designed to work together…and it should be convincing that the ‘same player’ is sitting on the drum throne.Ĭontrast that with just grabbing various samples and building a kit. They’re already set up for you for the most part, and laid out for mixing. Concept: You’ve just hired a drummer who brings his favorite kit, using the same sticks/mallets/etc, and the same ‘technique’ for every single kit piece, all recorded in the same room, with the same mics. That’s not a GA issue, but how the kits are designed to be used. If i want to change the default sound on a kit piece in 2023 or route a microphone to a room bus I think i should be able to frankly.Īcoustic Agent kits are ‘locked’. I don’t know what you guys think but I’[m of the view it’s not good enough for paid subscribers/users. So apart from some nasty work arounds, I’m stuck with this now aren’t I? You can only imagine my irritation given the money I’ve put in (and time changing processes from old ones) when I right click to change to a different type of china and see nothing… I already know i can’t drag and drop a new sample from reading up on it before hand. I mean, I’ve bought Cubase and pay to maintain it, I’ve purchased the full version of Groove Agent 5, I’ve also purchased the Simon Phillips studio expansion cause it looked great and it would be good to have a kit with some more choices and don’t get me wrong i do love it, but as an example, the china sample is garbage, it really does sound terrible to the point where i wonder if anyone actually listened to it in use with the rest of the kit before releasing it whatsoever.īut look thats ok, everyone has different tastes and I’m one of them. I’ve used lots of drum machines/plugins in my time and I’m not sure I can think of any (at this level) that will not let you assign a different sample to a kit piece. However, something that almost ruins it is the freedom to change samples on kits other than beat agent. It’s a really good sampler in general and the fact it has stand alone mode, and that i can use it as a plugin in other DAWS and NI stuff is fantastic. ![]() I’ll say straight up that I’m loving Groove Agent 5 and using it for lots more than just drum samples.
