Drum Clinic HD was and still is the first real clinic by a pro drummer, purpose built for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch! If you wanna learn more about grooves, fills, improvisation, rudiments, independence and brushes.......this is simply a must have! Hans Eijkenaar is a well known and much sought after session drummer in the Netherlands with a successful career both in Holland and abroad. His list of tours and recorded albums is huge and he is considered to be a specialist studio drummer. He is well known for being a versatile, creative and explosive drummer with a personal style...........best known for his pop and rock career.........but with a history in jazz and fusion. Hans is a Conservatory teacher (Codarts, Rotterdam) and has developed a powerful and transparent method for drummers of any style and of multiple levels. He unleashes all of his knowledge and has developed some very special views on studying drums, studying rudiments in a unique independence system, playing in all types of meter, improvising and playing fills in a creative, rather than a standard way..... He also is known for having a distinguished brushes technique for pop and rock which he demonstrates in several clips in a separate brushes chapter. Hans has decided to go the extra mile in terms of recording a fully featured, HD audio and video clinic app with over 60 clips, presentation videos, instruction videos and play alongs. And he has recorded a separate chapter with drum solos......... All filmed with 6 XD HD cams to capture for once and for all every angle you wanna see as a drummer. Everything recorded in one of the finest recording studios around, Soundvisionstudios, Arnhem, the Netherlands. 'Drum Clinic HD' needs (after downloading....) no further internet connection as all the videos are to be found within the app itself, enabling you to watch, listen and study anywhere you like.

Some low-end tools are static. Elyfino listens! Feed it a bass line, 808, kick, synth, guitar, drum bus, or cinematic hit, and it builds movement from the source. Make the low end feel larger without losing control. Elyfino is a real-time AUv3 effect for producers, beatmakers, mixers, and sound designers who need controlled low-end and harmonic edge. It combines program-dependent compression, source-tracked subharmonics, fuzz (optional), split-band tone shaping, wet/dry blend, calibrated output, factory presets, user presets, and MIDI control in one focused processor. Key features: - Source-tracked subharmonic generation for bass, 808s, kicks, toms, synths, guitars, impacts, and post sound design. - Comp, Subharmonics, Sub Mix, Sub Focus, and Sub Detect controls for tuning depth, punch, tracking sensitivity, and sustain. - Clean Path routing for low-end reinforcement without fuzz. - Powerful Fuzz for growl, translation, density, and harmonic edge when the sound needs more bite. - Tone, Mix, and Output controls for color, parallel blend, and level-matched gain staging. - 25 factory presets covering Utility, Bass, Sub Design, Drums, Guitar, Synth, Post, and Parallel workflows. - User presets with iCloud-backed sync for keeping custom sounds available across devices signed into iCloud. - MIDI learn, manual CC assignment, default CC mapping, and optional MIDI broadcast for hardware and host control. - Standalone version with Audio Settings, CoreMIDI input routing, and a built-in manual for setup and reference. - Mono and stereo AUv3 effect operation with supported 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz sample rates. Use Elyfino subtly to reinforce fundamentals, harder to make bass and drums shake the earth, or in parallel when you want controlled weight under the original performance.
