Now, NONE of this is bad it's just a sound, and a good one too - more airy and has a little more space if that makes sense. I don't know if those made the cut, or what the deal is, but it seems to line up with my experiences. There is also a promo video of the CLA stuff where you see the snare mic close how most would mic the snare, then in another shot when it seems like the drummer is taking samples, the mics on the snare are pretty far backed off. The only reason I say this is because of my experiences as an engineer and how those close samples sound. It sounds like the snare mic is placed further away in a way where if a live drummer were actually playing, the bleed from the hi hat and close snare would be quite awful. In my experience, as an audio engineer and practicing mixer, if I need more impact and oomph from the snare (proximity effect low end build up from close micing a drum), the slate stuff doesn't sound like it's mic'd up how I would normally mic a snare drum. Where I think Slate falls a little short is in the realism of close mic'd sounds in my opinion particularly the snares. I don't have the CLA or Blackbird packs, but I would like to get those eventually based on examples I've heard of them. They take processing well and the stock sounds area really nice. In a nutshell, I find that SSD5.5 is great if you want something that's fairly mix ready right off of the bat. To make it easier, I'll just say SSD5.5 (Steven Slate) and SD3 (Superior Drummer). I don't know where this whole thread went I didn't read the whole discussion, but I thought I would offer a little insight on my experiences on Steven Slate Drums 5.5 and Superior Drummer 3.
