Regularly published in professional journals and trade magazines world wide, George Massenburg received the Gold Medal from the Audio Engineering Society in 2008. In 1982, he founded George Massenburg Labs, an audio electronics company that has released an extensive range of innovative recording technologies, all based on his original designs. In addition to numerous Mix Magazine TEC Awards, in 1988 he also won the Academy of Country Music Record of the Year Award for his production on the album “Trio” featuring Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.įurther, George has designed, built and managed several recording studios as well as contributed to the acoustical and architectural design of many other studios, including George Lucas’ Skywalker Sound. George’s work has gained him world wide recognition and four Grammy Awards, including the Grammy for Technical Achievement in 1998, at the time making him one of only seventeen individuals to ever receive this honor. His work includes milestone albums by Earth, Wind & Fire, Linda Ronstadt, Natasha Bedingfield, Herbie Hancock, Billy Joel, the Dixie Chicks and many, many more. Seems pretty high to me after buying EZD, crossgrading to SD3.I’ve already sank nearly $500 into Toontrack and wish there were some kind of discount for those who sank that kind of money into it.Over the past four decades, George Massenburg has been involved in over 400 records. The stock kits are all great, but I have a love for Tama Starclassic kits and if I remember right, it was almost $200 for that expansion pack. The expansion packs are pretty expensive, which is a bummer.
The EZD kits all sound good and you can still set it up so each drum goes to it’s own track in the DAW where you can add your own plug-ins, but you’re basically tweaking something that’s already tweaked.Īlso, you have the option to stack drums in SD3, so if you’re not getting enough meat in your snare, you can combine two snares within the VST and hopefully get what you’re looking for. It depends on how far down the rabbit hole of drum sounds you want to go. In SD3, you have the option of shutting off all the EQ/compression/reverb and using the raw drum sounds.
Ultimately, I just wanted more control over the drum sounds, which you couldn’t get with EZD. I used EZD2 for 3-4 years before upgrading to SD3.
