There’s a lot to like about the new Groove Agent version, but I find one thing really annoying:
FINALLY being able to build custom kits in the Acoustic Agent was anticipated, as it has been possible within Toontrack drum libraries for ages.
But now Steinberg finally implemented that functionality, they did it in a completely halfbaked and whack way:
- instead of being able to simply replace an instrument sound/layer, we have to add another one and then mute the first? Seriously?
- now we can replace kick, snare and toms but not hihats and cymbals?
This both just makes no sense to me whatsoever. So we get SOME custom kit creation ability, and perhaps(!) the rest may come five years later???
