June 2008 saw the eagerly awaited release of Superior Drummer 2.0 – 'The New York Studio Legacy Series' which became one of Time+Space's best selling products of the year and received a whole host of first class reviews and awards from the music-making press. Now, we are excited to announce that Toontrack's first expansion pack for S2.0 is now shipping from Time+Space!

SDX: The Lost New York Studios contains unique sample recordings from two legendary New York Studios - Hit Factory NY and Allaire Studios.

The recordings at Hit Factory NY were the starting point for Toontrack® in developing Superior Drummer® 2.0 and the decision to record samples at Allaire was a result of wanting to capture the best studio rooms in New York.

Sadly, for the music and recording industry both studios are now closed, thus the subtitle ”The Lost New York Studios”.

Toontrack® is privileged to have been given the opportunity to record these great rooms in collaboration with the world class recording team of engineer and producer Pat Thrall (Glenn Hughes, Black Crowes, Beyoncé etc), producer Neil Dorfsman (Kiss, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits and Sting) and drummer Nir Z (Genesis, John Mayer, Joss Stone and Chris Cornell).

”The New York Studio Legacy Series Vol.2” feature kits recorded with 7 kick drums, 13 snares and a wide variety of cymbals sampled in extreme detail to work with the best, most advanced drum sampler engine on the planet, Superior Drummer® 2.0.
