which is better?

Hey Likui,

Kinda saw u played at Pump Room last week with Jive Talking. Finally get to be onstage with yr teacher Addy eh? ;)

Looks like you are more to Joe Satriani's kind of performance.

Thumb's up
 
Depends on:

1. Whether you are going to sequence of play live
2. Whether you are going to do it via a keyboard midi controller or electronic drums

EW MOR is more geared towards sequencing. Toontrack is geared at both - sequencing and electronic drums triggers. If you are a drummer, I would suggest Superior Drummer. You can add on expansion kits.

I'm not a drummer, and I use SD2.

SD can do more stuff than MOR?

I played with Addy b4, his maharaja song you can check on youtube. I've always played instrumental rock what. Last time I post I looking for drummer also for instrumental rock right? or is it something else?
 
No, SD doesn't do more than MOR. Take a look at the interface and you'll understand. MOR is geared more towards an arranger sequencing with a keyboard. SD is targeted at the drummer who has his PC hooked up to his electronic drums. They do the same thing, but approach from different users perspectives. SD also has lots of expansion kits and continues to more kits - ie it's expandable of which MOR is not. However, SD is also great for people who sequences with keyboard, which is why I'm using it. FXpansion (suggested by Kongwee) is also an alternative similar to SD which is geared towards the drummer.

There's also personal preference. I'm not that keen on East West's PLAY engine. However, if all my softsamplers are in PLAY format, I would get MOR to optimize loading of multiple instruments. But as it is, I'm using Kontakt.

expansion kits means more kind of drums is it?
 
SD is better, there is drum mixer to simulate live mixing.Same for FXpansion. For professional studio, they will buy as least two of the same kind.
For MOR, mostly you looking for a specific sound. If you have a sampler(Giga,Sound font,EXS....), you can look for some free patches.

if I use MOR then i use the mixer in cubase and eq also can right?
 
This I'm not quite sure. I never touch MOR. From the play engine interface, it look like they do not have a drum mixer. If you want overhead mic simulation, I do not know how you going to do it in MOR.
 
1. Yes, expansion kits means you can expand the types of drum kits. You can check out from their website. This includes anything from standard drum kits to jazz kits (with brushes) to electronic drums and latin percussion. "New York Studios Vol 2" has been used in quite a number of albums and is quite a hot expansion (my next expansion update).

2. You can use the mixer within SD2 and/or within your favorite DAW (Logic, Cubase, etc).

3. MOR is also good. It's produced by Nick Phoenix who also produced almost everything in East West. Toontrack is produced and made by drummers who are particular about the type of kits to recording room/mics etc.

4. If you are a drummer and fussy about the size and type of toms and snare (for example), you have to get SD2. With the possibility to expand and the the lower price, you can't lose.
