Toontrack EZX: Claustrophobic EDUCATION

 DISCLAIMER: This copy is for students and teachers with valid ID only.

In collaboration with Sontronics Microphones and Evans drumheads Toontrack Music announces the Claustrophobic EZX. The Claustrophobic EZX marks a new step for Toontrack in driving the development of percussive samples. The audio team at Toontrack has utilized drumhead selection, room and microphone configurations to fuse the qualities of a high end drum recording and the cutting edge of the radical beats of today’s top RnB, Hip Hop and Pop producers.

Add to that samples run through the best outboard effects and made accessible in the EZmixer to build your own mixer presets for on the fly sound design and you’ve got all the ingredients to produce, write and play music that takes you and your beats one step further,
C for Cutting edge, C for Contemporary, C for Claustrophobic.

Oh, and did we mention that the Claustrophobic EZX was recorded in a very small room?

The Claustrophobic EZX was sampled through the very best of outboard with distortion, reverb, compression and attack effects included in the internal mixer. This enables you to access a large number of mixer presets by STS 9, Richard Devine, DJ Amplive, sub-ID and Count Bass D.

And you can save your own custom mixer presets (with EZdrummer 1.1).

The Claustrophobic EZX special features
- Sampled through the best of outboard effects with compression, distortion, attack and reverb made available in the EZmixer.
- Mixer presets by STS 9, Richard Devine, DJ Amp live, sub-ID and Count Bass D.
- The possibility to save your own mixer presets with EZdrummer 1.1 installed.

The Claustrophobic EZX uses TPC, Toontrack Percussive Compression.

EZX-s are expansion packs for DFH EZdrummer featuring drums and percussion sound banks to be used with the basic EZD module. They also contain additional MIDI files to offer you even more choice building your tracks.

The philosophy behind EZX is to give the user sounds recorded and mixed by the best in the business at an affordable price. The sounds are tweaked with specific genres in mind and recorded by top producers. When loading an EZX an interactive picture of the drumkit contained in that expansion will appear in the main window of EZD and allow all the prelistening and construction features specific to that particular expansion.

To access an EZX expansion preinstalled on your computer click the EZX display in the main window. If you have installed one or more EZX a pull down menu will reveal the available options.
