Oops, wrong Butters…
PETER’S TAKE: Okay, being a drummer, this very much appeals to me. I have AD2 and RC-20 and have been very happy with every purchase I have from XLN Audio and will be doing the trial for this. I’ve included a link for the free trial below. As always, when there’s a free trial of a plugin available, I strongly recommend trying that before making a purchase.
DB-30 Drum Butter is built around one simple idea: Drums should be fun. Combining six high-quality effects modules, it lets you instantly apply all the attack, tone shaping, texture, space, and glue that your drums need. It helps your drums sound finished in seconds, or lets you creatively push them into bold, unexpected territories.
An inspiring drum tool that adds identity and awesomeness to all types of drum tracks: loops, patterns, recordings, single hits, and full grooves.
A fast and intuitive interface that invites experimentation and exploration, and simplifies time-consuming and complex processes like compression and saturation.
Six carefully designed effect modules work in tandem and are easily placed in the order you want them.
The Focus Filters and Target Sliders let you work on certain frequencies and transients/sustain independently: distort only the tails, or keep your low end tight to add effect just where you want it in your audio.
A vast selection of presets lets you audition new sonic avenues for your drums, ready to use as is, or tweak to taste.
A sibling to the hugely popular RC-20 Retro Color .
A Master Section that gives you global control over the final character of your drums.
Six creative modules. Zero friction.Six carefully designed modules work together to deliver powerful results while staying fast and intuitive.
BOOM SHACK
Low-end weight. Top-end character.
Two modules in one: Boom adds low-end weight to your drums, while Shack lets you layer characterful noises that organically blend with your original snare sound.
Boom adds deep low-end energy where your kick lives. Enable Acid Mode for growly, rave-ready bass tones.
Shack brings noisy character, texture, and bite to snares and hi-hats.
Simple, intuitive controls for pinpoint triggering and easy layering
