Pearl Mimic Pro Free Library Update

Hello,

I assume you are here because you've seen the recent free update to the Pearl Mimic Pro instrument library.

Last year after the last huge mimic update, the developers offered users the chance to submit their own samples of their drums to me made into fully functioning instruments within the Mimic pro, which has major advantages over importing stereo samples from the editor; having access to the various mic channels and being able to process them individually.

I did just that. It was no small feat too, finding a decent studio that I trusted to do a good job and more importantly was enthusuastic, and had available dates, was hard. Many didn't reply, some said they were unable to fit me in on days I was available and the others were less than apathetic.

I remembered in 2003, I did a session in a studio in Norwich for a Spanish Metal band, after emailing him with the idea, I was surpised he remembered me from that time, and was super into the idea. He had decent gear, 30+ year experince of engineering and his rates were fair.

So I took the 265 mile journey to Norwich, did 2 days sampling of my freshly skinned Tama Starclassic Maple Kit. I sumbitted the Protools sessions to the developers who, in their spare time, worked hard to make them available.

I didn't do this to make money, as I really wanted to contribute to the explansion of the Mimic Pro.

This Gofund me is really only about recouping some (or all at best) of the costs I incurred making these. If I can do that, then that's just super, if I can't then that's no bother as I have my acoustic kit in my Mimic module, which is the least I could have hoped for.

And if you like them too, then that's a bonus for me!

I'd like to thank Sergey and the Dev team, Sotos from Ashwood Studios - Norwich, UK and Luke Hestketh from the edrum workshop.
