Toontrack Gospel EZX & EBX Expansion packs €75

In the search for new bass and drum grooves that will move the spirit, we go to Church and get Gospel with Toontrack
Toontrack Gospel EZX & EBX Expansion packs €75

Toontrack can offer you something for pretty much every occasion. The beauty of their catalogue lies in its expansion capabilities; you begin with their basic packages, such as EZDrummer 2 and EZBass, and build your library through their extensive line of expansion packs, celebrating a wealth of musical styles.

The latest genre to get the Toontrack makeover is Gospel. Firstly, we’ll need to point out that these are expansion packs, so you’ll need to have a copy of EZBass and EZDrummer 2 installed, in order to proceed. Superior Drummer 3 users can also import the Gospel EZX drum expansion pack, without the requirement to cross-grade to EZDrummer.

Where the Gospel EZX fixes aim, is with content leaning firmly in the direction of celebratory and worship music, which arguably ties into the Soul and Funk genre too. Stacked with new kit sounds and percussion, Gospel will compliment the existing EZDrummer default content beautifully. The 1.2GB of sampled content, captured at Paragon Studios in Nashville, centres around three different drums kits, with the usual Toontrack ability to mix and swap sounds with comparative ease. The kits reflect different eras of Gospel, from the 1940s to the present day, engineered by seven-time grammy-award-winner, Danny Duncan.
