Submersible Music Releases Lonnie Pack I Country Drums For DrumCore

Jan 01, 2006

Submersible Music has started shipping its new "LonniePack I" DrummerPack, for use with its popular DrumCore software. LonniePack I includes drumloops, fills and drumkit sounds by noted country drummer Lonnie Wilson, winner of two "Country Drummer of the Year" awards from the Academy of Country Music (ACM). LonniePack I is targeted at producers, songwriters, composers and musicians who need authentic country drums with a variety of song elements. Like all DrummerPacks, this release comes pre-configured with metadata information for use with the DrumCore search engine. This provides quick access to grooves, fills, variations and individual drum sounds. Search content based on feel (straight, shuffle, etc.), time signature and tempo. Users can even add their own search criteria (create a new "style" for example) and enter their own comments for searching. Included with this DrummerPack are new drumkits for use with DrumCore's MIDI sound module. Use them to play the included MIDI grooves, for programming your own beats, or for layering hits on top of the loops. DrumCore also supports dragging audio and MIDI directly to tracks in applications that support "drag-and-drop" such as Acid, Audition, Cubase, Digital Performer, Logic, Nuendo, Pro Tools 7 and Sonar. It also exports/spots audio directly onto Pro Tools tracks!

Grooves were recorded in 10 BPM increments, since drummers play differently at different tempos. This provides for the most musical grooves, and helps preserve audio quality. All audio is 48kHz/24-bit and recorded in professionally designed studios using state-of-the-art digital (ProTools HD3) and analog (Neumann, Neve, etc.).

LonniePack I is priced at $79.99, US retail and requires DrumCore 1.5 (Mac or PC). It is available from the DrumCore website and via most music software retailers. NOTE: A free 1.5 upgrade is available to registered users.
