A myriad of flexible tonal shaping options are presented to ensure you can find the right sound, regardless of your mix, style or genre. Five distinctive drum kits have been carefully chosen to help deliver the power and punch that contemporary drum production requires. Each of these kits can be mixed and matched using up to four different kit pieces, allowing you to create a hybrid setup, stamping out a sonic signature for your productions. Encompassing a wide range of advanced kit editing, mixing and mastering sections to help further sculpt and shape your tone, Heavy is every producer's dream. Easily tweakable FX let you add compression, saturation, ambience and reverb to individual parts of the kit or the entire drum bus for a more global impact on your sound design. For experienced sound designers, and mixing and mastering engineers, Heavy offers multi-out capabilities, letting you process your tracks independently using third party plug-ins and processors to get the exact sound you're after. Conversely, less proficient engineers and producers can take advantage of one of the six onboard mix presets, curated by industry professionals to add extra punch, weight and sheen to your drums with one click.
Getting the sound right at the source is the key to achieving professional mixes that sound radio-ready. Using a collection of the highest quality drums, recording studio, recording equipment and drummers, Heavy delivers a sophisticated sound that's ideal for a wide range of groovy musical genres. Only the best in class was used for the recording of this session, using what many would call the 'desert island' drums of choice, capturing each hit with incredible detail and nuance. Ideal for songwriters, musicians or producers, Heavy will instantly unlock the sound of professional recordings, helping you to carve a name for yourself in the industry to drive your career forward.
Recording and engineering drums come with their own unique set of challenges. The space, noise levels and equipment needed all create difficulties for most musicians without access to a professional recording studio 24 hours a day. Knowing this, the UJAM's Virtual Drummer Heavy has been meticulously recorded to provide you with a plethora of different beats and phrases to cover a wide range of aggressive genres. Helping you to get your ideas recorded faster than ever, Heavy comes with over 1380 patterns and rhythms in 60 unique styles, spanning everything from rock, heavy metal and punk beats. Encompassed within the phrases included with UJAM Heavy, there are independent sections for common song structures, including intros, verses, choruses, fills and endings to help you quickly identify the right groove to build the foundation of your song.
No matter your skillset or production knowledge, Virtual Drummer Heavy has been designed to let you get studio-ready results in a matter of minutes. No deep menu diving, complicated non-musical terms or clustered interfaces, just a simple layout that offers easy tweaking to get the sound you want fast.
Providing you with only a few key controls, you are awarded the flexibility to customise the performance of your Virtual Drummer to get realistic results quickly. Huminsation controls are presented as micro timing parameters, including Feel and Humanize, injecting the signature 'push and pull' of a live drummer performing in front of you. Employing an intuitive drag-and-drop system, you can import phrases from your Virtual Heavy Drummer into your DAW to edit individual notes to customise the performance to the exact needs of your project.
