What separates Brute from other virtual drummers or sample libraries is the purpose-designed recording setup that was used. Comprised of three sets of microphone sets, Brute delivers a flexible range of tones for your productions. Creating a drum library that cuts above the dense layer of distorted guitars meant that different aspects of the drum sound would need to be isolated to give you full control. Virtual Drummer Brute comes with three unique microphone sets including Click/Smack, Grit/Dirt and Clean/Nice.
Click/Smack was recorded using vintage 421-style microphones and processed using world-class hardware outboard gear to cut through dense mixes. This is a perfect solution when working with compositions with lots of instrumentation layers to cut through and be heard, adding the energy and groove to your track. Grit/Dirt lets you introduce the character to your signal. Organic resonances and sustain add a natural and authentic sound to enhance the warmth and realism. Ideal for slower material that requires more 'vibe' and character, the added sustain can help to fill the gaps between notes. Clean/Nice introduces no colouration at all for a pristine sound that presents the drums exactly as heard in the room. Using modern, low-distortion microphones, the Clean/Nice setting is ideal for processing further with third-party plug-ins to achieve your desired sound.
Composed with specific styles in mind, each of the five kits within Brute is meticulously tuned and selected to offer a tremendous level of tonal flexibility. The Dark kit is a fat, low-tuned kit that's ideal for slower music with space between each hit to let your drums bloom. Dirty embraces the gritty and unhinged traits of alternative music. Tight and punchy, Dirty is ideal for punk and other double-time bops! Tight offers a cross-over friendly kit, employing a tight piccolo snare drum that's perfect for aggressive fills and blasts. Noble channels the sound of early '00s radio-ready rock tones. Full-bodied and refined, Noble is the perfect midground. Prime takes you to the big stage with stadium-friendly tones. Balanced and punchy, Prime is the go-to for mainstream rock anthems.
Recording and engineering drums come with their own unique set of challenges. The space, noise levels and equipment needed all create difficulties for most musicians without access to a professional recording studio 24 hours a day. Knowing this, the UJAM's Virtual Drummer Brute has been meticulously recorded to provide you with a plethora of different beats and phrases to cover a wide range of heavy genres. Helping you to get your ideas recorded faster than ever, Brute comes with over 713 patterns and rhythms in 31 unique styles, spanning everything from heavy grunge, rock, classic metal and punk. Encompassed within the phrases included with UJAM Brute, there are independent sections for common song structures, including intros, verses, choruses, fills and endings to help you quickly identify the right groove to build the foundation of your song.
A myriad of flexible tonal shaping options are presented to ensure you can find the right sound, regardless of your mix, style or genre. Five distinctive drum kits have been carefully chosen to help deliver the power and punch that contemporary drum production requires. Each of these kits can be mixed and matched using up to five different kit pieces, allowing you to create a hybrid setup, stamping out a sonic signature for your productions. Encompassing a wide range of advanced kit editing, mixing and mastering sections to help further sculpt and shape your tone, Brute is every producer's dream. Easily tweakable FX let you add compression, saturation, ambience and reverb to individual parts of the kit or the entire drum bus for a more global impact on your sound design. For experienced sound designers, and mixing and mastering engineers, Brute offers multi-out capabilities, letting you process your tracks independently using third party plug-ins and processors to get the exact sound you're after. Conversely, less proficient engineers and producers can take advantage of one of the six onboard mix presets, curated by industry professionals to add extra punch, weight and sheen to your drums with one click.
No matter your skillset or production knowledge, Virtual Drummer Brute has been designed to let you get studio-ready results in a matter of minutes. No deep menu diving, complicated non-musical terms or clustered interfaces, just a simple layout that offers easy tweaking to get the sound you want fast.
Providing you with only a few key controls, you are awarded the flexibility to customise the performance of your Virtual Drummer to get realistic results quickly. Huminsation controls are presented as micro timing parameters, including Feel and Humanize, injecting the signature 'push and pull' of a live drummer performing in front of you. Employing an intuitive drag-and-drop system, you can import phrases from your Virtual Brute Drummer into your DAW to edit individual notes to customise the performance to the exact needs of your project.
