The unique selection of drums and percussion included exceeds all other collections. As a sequel to STORMDRUM and SD2 all together set new standards that will exceed the expectations of everyone who owns a QUANTUM LEAP product.

"Beautifully recorded, there is a stunning range of instruments on offer. The big sounds are absolutely huge-powerful and punchy-and the smaller ones are suitably delicate and ethereal. Providing your system is up to it, you'll be creating scores that people will never know have been made not on a Hollywood soundstage, but on a computer." - MUSIC TECH

“SD2 is simply a must-have library for any serious musician working today. Whether you use the massive stacked sounds or build your own from the meticulously recorded elements SD2 provides, a composer can achieve anything from a majestic, percussive wall of sound to a violent, edgy hit or a gentle and subtly articulated rhythm. The MIDI files that accompany SD2 are incredibly flexible and fun to work with, without the limitations of an audio loop. The SD2 library is of the highest quality and I use it literally every day.”— Joel Goldsmith

QUANTUM LEAP SD2 PRO features an additional 2.5 gigabytes of brand new recordings featuring tremendous new ensembles and solo percussion instruments. As a bonus, you will receive an additional 1.5 gigabytes of the best multi-samples from the original QUANTUM LEAP STORMDRUM.

    Please note, to use some of the larger MIDI file performances, you will need a recommended system. For those with slower systems, here are some tips to improve performance.

    If your system is below our recommended specifications, here are some tips for optimizing PLAY and SD2:
    1. Install samples on a fast drive that is not too full. Make sure all software is up to date.
    2. Change PLAY's streaming settings to buffer factor 5
    3. Change audio driver buffer to 512 or even 1024 if you just need to mix down an SD2 performance.
    4. Turn off reverb.
    5. Mute some tracks of an SD2 performance and render in two passes. Maybe separate the low drums from the hi frequency drums, so you have two audio mixes that can be processed later.
