Buy This!

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 loops 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!

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 slipped 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.

Think or wait no longer. BUY IT!

Stylus RMX by itself was already a killer buy, but now with this Xpanded offer its simply too great to pass out! If you are looking for a drum and groove module for your music which covers a great spectrum of musical genres at that; its a no-brainer! Just get this Xpanded bundle!!

Best Groove Module Available!

I love the ease at which I am able to build loops, patterns, and grooves. I cannot believe I have been producing without it for so long. This is a definite "must have" for any serious producer/arranger/composer--no matter the genre!

The libraries sound great, and there are many note values in which the beats can be altered...Various time signatures, and a number of parameters that can be adjusted to your preference.

This is one of the best purchases that I have made.

Stylus RMX

I bought Stylus Rmx and I was very disappointed. There was no sequencing at all, just loops. I want my money back. Stylus sucks!
