Toontrack Decades SDX (SOUNDBANK) screenshot
P2P | 04 November 2019 | 91.35 GB
A massive collection of drums recorded by one of the most prolific audio craftsmen of our time: Al Schmitt.

The Decades SDX was recorded at Capitol Studios and comes with five drum kits, all handpicked to represent a specific sound or era in Al’s career. Expect a palette of immaculate drum sounds encapsulating not only a lifetime of experience working at the apex of the industry, but just as much a personal and reflective collection of kits that in a way represents his entire body of work. From jazz and big band to rock, fusion, pop, funk and AOR – the Decades SDX covers all the styles that can be traced back to Al’s illustrious lifetime achievement.

THE MAKING OF.
Meet Al Schmitt with team and get a glimpse of what happened behind the scenes at Capitol Studios during the Decades SDX recording sessions.

ABOUT
AL SCHMITT.

In retrospect, figuring out that Al would end up behind a console is somewhat of a no-brainer. He literally grew up in a studio. Already at the age of seven, he hung out with his uncle Harry, who also was an engineer, to help set out chairs for musicians, clean patch cables and whatever came with being a helper during sessions back then.

This was in the thriving days of the late 1930s New York big band and jazz scene. That scene was buzzing, with loads of work and studios scattered all over the city. From there, his path was pretty much laid out. Working his formative years under the tutelage of many of the era’s legendary engineers, he honed his craft before relocating to California. After that, the rest is music history. For real.

In fact, Al Schmitt’s footprint in the recording industry is hard to fathom or even put down in words. Just the numbers alone are mind-boggling: 727 recordings, 160 gold and platinum albums and 23 Grammy Awards.

Scrolling through his discography is even more daunting – his hands and ears have literally shaped our collective music history. From now immortal icons like Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and Sam Cooke to Madonna, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Barbara Streisand and Paul McCartney – Al has worked with them all.

Thanks for the share but excuse my ignorance, if you have sd3 factory content would you really need this? Don't shoot me down in flames.

It depends what you need. This one have different kit pieces also Al Schmitt is legendary engineer...but his fame about old style big band records and mostly he dont use EQ (he is changing mic positions for natural EQ'ing) , it means some people may not like that kind sound.

Is it PC only ? if I buy superior 3 for mac will I be able to use this ? thx

I didnt download from here but if its same release it dont have installation files, you just moving files in SL-Decades SDX directory and adding to SD. I dont think you can use with legit Superior Drummer cause %90 it will show authorization window and there is no keygen for this library. On Windows its working with V.R's SD VSTI cause its unlocked, no need any keygen for any library.

Thanks for your reply. I don't get why Team V.R or R2R just can't crack any superior 3 version for many years. Maybe mac are too secured and PC are so easy to hack...

I'm PC user and i dont know is there any extra protections on Apple but i dont think its about it. Most of reverse engineers, groups, scenes from Europe, Asia, Japan. V.R is Ukranian, R2R is Japan and i dont think they like Apple products much.

the naming folder hierarchy has to be correct in order to add it as a library as there is no included installer
Parent library
Toontrack.Decades.SDX
all the content has to be in a folder named
SL-DECADES

Midi has to be added to the database manually copy and paste

In my experience if you don't SD3 will say 'no library found' read the config and name files with a notepad editor or the like for insight

Hoping for a good split up upload! Most of us don't need the surround

28GB for basic setup is already big!

Hey guys I did the test and if you download only the first 18obw files you get the 28gb basic setup.

Looks like its working with 17 obw files. When i delete soundb18.obw it was working but when i delete soundb17.obw it showed "no installation information available" on settings window.
  Member 22.10.2016 457

Still have to download the full 91gb to get the earlier obw files though otherwise you will miss out on obw 3 to 9 for example.
Downloads zip files in order when unzipped obw 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20, 21 ....... 29, 3, 30, 31 and so on.

Definitely worth it, sounds fantastic with the full setup.
Thanks so much.

I didnt want to download all volumes and downloaded from torrent. I dont think its worth around 90GB cause main library is 26GB and 64GB extra ambiance mics and bleed mics. You can imitate (not %100 but close) ambiance mics with Altiverb kind convolution reverbs and bleeds not much necessary for most of mixes.

I still don't know how you managed to get the first 18 obw files without downloading the full 90gb. When I tried to just download the first 30gb of files and unzip I was missing obw files 3 - 9 (as explained above) so it said broken library. I can spare the space though so happy to have full library for this fantastic pack. I'm sure if I deleted obw files 18 to 64 from my library now I could downgrade it to the basic setup but........ nahhh.

WinRAR packing files by alphabetical order, i checked file order from torrent and it was like 1,10,11 (not like 1,2,3,4,5). 1-17 must be in first RAR volumes but others like 2,3,4 should be in middle or last RAR volumes. I count files sizes from torrent and downloaded first RAR volumes from here but some files should be in middle of RAR volumes thats why i downloaded that files from torrent like 2-3-4-5. Point is if you know file structure and guess compression ratio you can guess which files in which RAR volumes.

Can someone confirm that this would work with legit SD3 ?

No, if you try to use with legit SD3 you will need keygen and its not exist. Its working with V.R's SD3 cause its unlocked.

It seems that Al Schmitt never mixed a kit that used more than 3 toms. Interesting.

Parts 6, 71, 82, 87, 93 are missing.
The 10 parts rapidgator (very good idea!) are also incomplete.
Hope someone will re-upload them.
