Continuing with our latest video series, this time Daniel Ruczko walks you through all the key features of Virtual Drummer PHAT, HEAVY, and SOLID. From selecting a drummer style to tweaking individual drum sounds, he takes a look at each section of the interface, giving you an overview of the instrument while demonstrating the important features explicitly.
In this walkthrough you can, among other things, learn more about HEAVY’s special Slam control which adds, you guessed it, slam to your drum sound. Make your drums stick out in the mix and adjust their punchiness with just one knob. This should set you up with enough skills to get inspired and start creating your own!
