This is wild, I never thought about organizing a sample library in a cloud like that. It seems like a very quick way to compare similar sounds against each other.
Yeah it's a pretty epic way of organizing one-shot samples, it's pretty much the only way I search through drum samples now! Some people at Google also released a sample cloud experiment like this a while back: I'm not sure which came first tbh. Love your channel btw! experiments.withgoogle.com/ai/drum-machine/view/
Hmmmm. One of the things i really like about Atlas (from seeing another video), is the possibility to drag&drop fill a Ableton Drumrack. I guess with XO this is not possible, especially because it's limited to 8 tracks, but also because of no export function in that manner? Also: is this Sequencer-list on the right side of Atlas ("Deep house funk .... Deep house progressive ...." etc.) representing MIDI files? Or is that some sort of Atlas-unique format? Because i d love to import Midi files into atlas, if possible. Thank you!
You can just drag one of the bottom-left bubbles in the export window in XO directly into an Ableton drum rack and it will populate it with the XO drums.
@@Albinamo very fast multiple hit on the same drum. You can do it with 2 sticks or specialized tools to have 1 hit immediately after the other. They almost sound as if they are part of the same initial strike.
In case you've figured it out, might be useful for someone else. sequence tab>export button>then render button>drag the circle next to where it says drag into your daw.
XO automatically adds the right amount of FX to each drum, a touch of plate reverb or delay etc, and it seems to just sound a lot better than Atlas. Does Atlas have FX?
@@101Licious which is EXACLTY why I like it. Who could be bothered tagging a million files? I been doing it for 20 years, constantly updating my database with the right tags. This is a godsend...
You can tune the individual samples manually and the use a tuner plugin to check what note they're in. Other than that, not sure of any way to tune these to a specific key
why not mention that Atlas have NO built in effects? witch is a real bummer, not even an reverb, EQ or comp? strange. Otherwise atlas would win easily.
Tried Atlas, waste of money. Once you understand the full range of what XO is capable of you wouldn't think twice. This comparison doesn't even scratch the surface.
Well, well, this was a horrid review which seems to have been randomly pasted together without a concrete explanation. At least you could have discussed how each vst's implementation, of virtual drum pads and sequencing, is used with various hardware pads and/or sequencers. But hey, at least we know some aspects you repeated more than a couple of times; such as, they are both 'solid', and that you tend to reach for XO most often.
I have both. Atlas is so powerful and easy to use!

Once you have it you will never go back to DAW search function
Xo is slightly better at grouping/finding similar sounds, with all other features Atlas rules.
Idk about XO but I'm still using Atlas V1 and I love it , great production workflow booster
good time to upgrade the Atlas plugin $19us... theres a sale on til 4th December
Great video ! Just got xo . Whwre can get those expansion presets you have there? Thanks

@@ARival thank you for the info! Is it limited to 8 slots, right?
@@sternenherz yeah that's the advantage of atlas (more slots). but it's super fast to do in XO so it's a plus
Idk... There's really no comparison. Atlas wipes the floor with XO.
lacking an easy way to do flams like XO....
@@CoolColJ I thank flams are the least of people's concerns when using a sampler like these.
@@richardspillers6282wtf is a flam?
@@Albinamo very fast multiple hit on the same drum. You can do it with 2 sticks or specialized tools to have 1 hit immediately after the other.

Great video thank you so much. May I ask wether you either of the plug ins offer to change key if the drum samples?
They dont
this could be anice feature for both though
I'm liking atlas but don't see a way to drag the beat to the daw ?
In case you've figured it out, might be useful for someone else. sequence tab>export button>then render button>drag the circle next to where it says drag into your daw.
@@delphisignal thanks I found the tab buried under the export button which is a little odd.
I believe that whoever is doing the advertising is really informed and it in assure you that it is the best wandw you

XO is a toy for all who are lazy :)

@@benedict303 That's why it's just good to have a choice.
Yes! Atlas has Effects or Fx slots for each Drums or sounds. Atlas also has routing for each slots for your mixer.
Wave alchemy Triaz rules over both of them now
How to tune the drums to a specific key?
