Toontrack’s new SDX expansion pack ‘Music City USA’ is now shipping!

Recorded with Harry Stinson and Chuck Ainlay –the duo who were also responsible for the Nashville EZX, Music City USA was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee. With the city’s history and culture so steeped in the art of making and recording music, the Toontrack team could think of no better place on earth to record a library of drums that would be at home in music ranging from rock to reggae, metal to gospel, punk to polka and, of course, country and rock.

UK retailer Digital Village have just published a review in which they said:

“Recorded at Sound Kitchen Studios, all the samples in Music City USA have a natural feel and transparency which puts this pack in a league of its own in my opinion. Although the actual quantity of drums is not huge – you get just five kick drums, five snares, five rack and floor toms, only one hi-hat and eight crashes and rides – the quality is stunning. I listened to a ride cymbal in great detail, particularly the decay, which died away completely naturally without any glitching at the tail.”

RRP: £119.00 / €139.00
