I have more invested in Toontracks software than I want to remember. Working with my buddy I have now found my midi groove in The Rooms of Hansa and learned a lesson which I am glad to share with the forum. But nothing is obvious to the uninformed. I kinda knew that, but didn't fully understand the value of these, partially due to the cost and my own drum-ignorance. There are dozens and dozens and dozens of Midi Drum Libraires which don't come with the initial purchase are are not free from Groove Monkey. Just used what come with the app plus what was free from Groove Monkey. He had them all!! I had never really invested in any add-on's or libraries with my EZD2. It's the Add-On Packs, the SD Libraries and the User Libaries. I immediatley saw my problem when he loaded up SD. How could this me! I finally consulted with a friend who is a Superior Drummer 2 User (the pro version of EZDrummer2) and went over to his studio for help. I have spent days working with RDs, Jamstix and EZDrummer2. My current project needs a unique and expressive groove. Usually Jamstix would be the winner for me. My go-to for the past years have been EZDrummer and/or Jamstix. Which is why I would often look for something more feature capable and sound flexible. In fact, with RDs you just have to set them and forget them. Nothing is simpler, quicker and more readily avialalbe. I never really understood why, Until Now!!īIAB RDs are great, no question about it. It is an industry standard but it would repeatedly fail to provide the groove and hits I wanted. But, truth be told, it has only once served me well in my music making. Bags are expensive, but it's cheap insurance to reduce the risk of damaging my vac.I have used EZDrummer and then EZDrummer2 for years. When I vacuum up a lot of stone dust from a polishing session, I simply remove and throw the bag away. I believe the biggest problem when polishing stone and sucking up the dust is that the dust clogs the pores in the vac's paper bag, making the vac motor work harder. Since my CT22 is out of warranty, I'm less worried about that. I understand that Festool USA doesn't warrant the vacs for stone work. The RAS should help resolve that problem and make the process less onerous. The single biggest issue I've had with my dry grinder is dust. (25 hours spinning on stone, not clock time.) Not much experience, but enough to make get a feel for using them and appreciating what they can do. All told, I have maybe 25 man-hours using my Makita wet and dry grinders to polish stone. Having 14mm arbor accessories available makes the RAS a nice, viable option. I've purchased from Ace Tool before and found them to be a good company. It looks like they have some M14 adapters and other 14mm options. I will still end up buying a RAS but am appalled you guys in Lebanon thought you could pull a fast one. I'll stick to using my belt sander for real work. Scribing with a big PC belt sander is all we did. I owned a belt sander for years and didn't know what to do with the big stupid thing, then I apprenticed with an old timer. RAS better than a belt sander or electric plane? Prove it! Do that same video with 3/4" cdx, mdf or particle board, 90 degree corner with a layer of formica on top. That video might fool a dumb DIY hobbyist but not a seasoned contractor. He was only sanding an 1/8" to 3/16" of material at the most. That video is a typical company skewed demonstration and an insult to the power of Festool's.Īm I the only one who noticed that the board was already back cut, looks like maybe 30 degrees? Given that fact of course there was great DC. Having done more kitchen installs and custom work than I care to remember, I am unable to buy into the hype of that video.
