Stylus RMX functions as a plug-in and virtual instrument in all major DAW software including Apple Logic, MOTU Digital Performer, Digidesign Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Steinberg Cubase SX, Nuendo, V-Stack, Apple Garage Band, Fruity Loops, Sony Acid Pro, Cakewalk Sonar, Project 5 and many other VST and Audio Unit host applications. Stylus RMX Xpanded includes six Xpander libraries to accelerate your creativity.

The Spectrasonics Backbeat library is just what you're looking for - great feeling, rock-steady grooves with attitude, but without overplaying. The variety and quality within the Backbeat library is astonishing!

Retro Funk SAGE Xpander
Retro Funk offers a fresh take on the killer vintage sound. The sonic texture of these loops makes them ultra-flexible, bringing massive "vibe" to any modern track. Producer Eric Persing's mixes create a unique, dry sonic attitude in this library, making it ideal for layering with other groove element

Burning Grooves SAGE Xpander
The Burning Grooves drum Xpander delivers maximum impact! This collection of killer kits and blazing live drum grooves for Stylus RMX was laid down by L.A. slammer Abe Laboriel Jr. (Seal, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, Joe Sample). Burning Grooves' extreme remixes were created by producer Eric Persing (Distorted Reality, Bass Legends).

Liquid Grooves SAGE Xpander
Liquid Grooves gives you sounds that previously have existed only in your imagination! Propelling live drum grooves combine with unusual, organic percussion loops to create entirely new grooves to move your music forward. The live elements, performed by some of L.A.'s most creative session players, have been transformed into a unique sonic texture via ground-breaking signal processing techniques and state of the art electronic instruments.

I can't say enough about Spectrasonic's stuff. They'll take your music to another level. It's the real deal.

Amazing drum sounds even 6 years later!

RMX is a fairly old product by VST standards, but still ROCKS. For my money it still has some of the phattest drums out there, dripping with charisma and character. There are tons of inspiring loop... read more [+]s which can easily be re-arranged to suit your own purposes, in addition to hundreds/thousands of one-shots, including fantastic metals and booms that are great for cinematic work. The majority of the drum sounds are of an electronic nature, though the expansion packs fill out the acoustic end of things. The FX are great as well, and the sounds are very tweakable, everything from filter/pitch/volume envelopes to the Chaos Designer.

All in all, even approaching $400 this is still pretty great value for the money. You can buy lots of mediocre loop/one-shot drum packs in the quest for phat drums and percussion, or get Stylus RMX and be happy! close [-]

How'd I ever work without it?

Eric Persing and the Spectrasonics designers always do an amazing job and Stylus is no exception. I originally bought the first Stylus classic back in my OS 9 days but in the transition to OS X it sli... read more [+]pped through the cracks and I never upgraded it. A couple years later I finally upgraded to the RMX Xpanded version and I don't know why I ever went without it in the first place.
First of all the drum sounds are fantastic, very cinematic. Some are huge, some are middle-ground and others are clicky; there's something for any type of music you're working on.
Secondly it's VERY stable. In fact, it's the most stable instrument plug-in I own. Even with every slot filled, FX on some of the slots and aux's and the Chaos tool on (which is pretty sweet) it didn't choke or crash ProTools. I can honestly say I use this plug-in every day on both sound design and music; it's extremely flexible! When people ask me what are the main plug-ins I recommend and couldn't live without, Stylus is on the list. close [-]
