I opened the box, but did not register or install any of the discs. I got it for $250 plus shipping and I'm asking $210. Because this is a bad ass site I will pay for shipping on this for any recordingreview member.

Why are you selling the samples?

I remember when they first mentioned this site. I asked if I could try it out but never got a response.

They've been sitting on my desk for a couple months now and I never got into them. Audio->MIDI = no fun for me. I'm much more interested in sample replacement than MIDI programming. Also, any MIDI drum stuff I do uses electronic drum stuff not natural kits

Oh okay, so you are not ditching them based on sound?

That's interesting that you don't like the midi end of things. Working with just me and my songwriter/singer buddy, I've loved the one on one producer / artist thing. There is WAY less politics. There is no compromising because one guy in the prick had a mean dad and doesn't like anything "different". Everybody always shows up at the same time and I have a lot more control of the things that I will ultimately be judged on.

Of course, I was tracking on the project that has been a once a week thing for like 2 years no. I did say to myself "these drums are aweseome". So sometimes the real drums thing is very exciting. I just wish it wasn't so expensive for me.
