THE BEST DRUM LIBRARY

I don't have any words to describe how versatile this library are ! My English maybe not so good, but I know what sound I can get from Fairview kit ! One shots loader, built in FX, all in this library does an awesome job, special thanks to Anup Sastry !

Amazing sounds, features, and articulations; Hard to run.

I love the selection of cymbals, snares, and kicks. I also love the extra rim shot and flam articulations on the snare.

My only problem is how badly it runs sometimes. I have 2 studio PC's in different locations. One has an i7 12700k, the other has an i5 10400. The i7 obviously handles it like a champ, but the i5 (which is only like 4 years old by now) can't handle the plugin at all! Hope they work in their optimization, because I love this drum plugin!
