No drummer? No problem. Get the Neural DSP Quad Cortex and Daaci Natural Drums plugin for the ultimate full-band setup.

FREEBIES AND LIFETIME LICENCE DEAL: As of Dec. 17, the Neural DSP Quad Cortex is available for $1,699 at Sweetwater, with financing options as low as $36.11 per month. Meanwhile, Daaci’s Natural Drums AI plugin is just $125.67 for a lifetime license — no subscriptions, no bloated bundles, just pure, dynamic drum grooves on demand.

Why you can't find a reliable drummer for your jam sessions? Drummers are either late, loud, or mysteriously absent when inspiration strikes. But what if I told you a $125.67 plugin could replace them forever — no backtalk, no endless tuning, no monthly fees? Of course, I'm joking. Plenty of amazing drummers are out there; they don't want to play with me.

Enter Daaci's Natural Drums AI plugin, the intuitive virtual session drummer you didn't know you needed. Pair it with the Neural DSP Quad Cortex for studio-grade guitar and bass tones, and you've got yourself an all-inclusive band setup for a fraction of the cost of hardware, drum kits, and overpriced subscriptions.

The Neural DSP Quad Cortex, priced at $1,699 at Sweetwater, is what happens when cutting-edge tech meets hands-on flexibility. This floor-ready digital modeler features a 2GHz Quad-Core SHARC processor — enough power to run multiple amp chains simultaneously. It packs over 50 amps, 70 stomps, and 1,000 impulse responses, from glassy cleans to face-melting saturation.

Neural's Capture Technology lets you digitize and save your favorite real-world gear for easy recall. And with CorOS 3.0, you can now integrate Neural DSP's popular plugins, like Archetype: Gojira X, expanding your tone palette without the fuss of external computers.

But here's where the setup really sings: Daaci's Natural Drums AI plugin. For $125.67, you're not just buying a drum machine — you're purchasing a lifetime license for an AI drummer that adapts to your ideas in real-time.

Other plugins force you into monthly payments or bloated bundles packed with kits you'll never use. Not here. With Natural Drums, you get seamless DAW integration (Logic Pro X, Ableton, Pro Tools, and more), control over complexity, fills, swing, and patterns, and the kind of lifelike grooves that actually sound like a human behind the kit. Want to start with a simple rhythm and spice it up later? Natural Drums lets you add embellishments, fills, and shuffles with a few clicks — all without hogging your CPU.

Lifetime licenses like this are practically a unicorn in the plugin world. While other companies nickel-and-dime you for every little add-on, Natural Drums gives you everything you need upfront. No subscriptions, overstuffed bundles, or tricks — just a top-tier drum companion you can rely on forever.

Quad Cortex, for $1,699, and Natural Drums, for $125.67, turn your home setup into a professional studio with guitar tones and drum tracks that sound like they cost ten times more. You'll never feel like you're missing a piece of the puzzle laying down polished recordings, working on new ideas, or just jamming without the hassle of chasing down flaky bandmates.

At the end of the day, you're not just saving money on mics, amps, drum kits, and late-night rehearse-a-thons — you're investing in creative freedom. No drummer? No problem. With the Neural DSP Quad Cortex and Daaci Natural Drums AI plugin, you have your full band at your fingertips for less than a decent drum kit. Deals like this don't stick around forever — unlike your new AI drummer.
