Well this one has been a long time coming. I went out and did some extensive on location recordings. I altered drum kits, Bolted on sheets of metal to tom toms, ran them through crazy analog effects, and generally beat the living hell out of everything that I could find to make the best sounding hard hitting drums around.
GREY FORGE takes you to the dark heart of techno. New MASCHINE 2 Drum Synth kits load with auto-mapped macro controls – perfect for evolving sets that run till the break of dawn. Step into the shadows with custom effect chains and fresh MASSIVE presets for hardline basses and leads.
We set out to make the most authentic mid 80s Electro Funk sample collection currently available. To do this we went back to the original machines, technology and production techniques used by artists and producers of the era. I once worked for DMC UK – a company who in the 90s pioneered remix culture. One part of my studio duties was to transfer the master recording tapes from 2inch analog tape onto DAT for worldwide remixers. During that time I learned so much about record production by listening and experiencing so many of the world-class multitrack recordings that passed through our transfer studio
‘Half-Step Drum & Bass’ is a twisted fusion of Drum & Bass, Hip Hop and Techno, contorted, warped and re-sampled into a hybrid collection of earth shattering sounds. Grown in a world of darkness and technology, incubated, nurtured and tortured by mediocrity, this demon of a sample library will take no prisoners and stop at nothing to destroy normality. Are you tired of hearing the same, regurgitated musical styles, the subtle variations on the same old themes and the spoon-fed junk forced upon you by those in control? Well, it’s time to take back what is yours, to rebel against the system and spread anarchy through the establishment. This sample pack is something born out of the will to change. Inside the sample pack you will find a splintering collection of drums, bass, percussion, music loops, textures, one-shot drums and effects samples, plus pre-loaded sampler instruments for your go-to sampler. All sounds and samples are available to download in ACIDized WAV, REX2 Loops, 24-Bit WAV and Apple Loops and come, as standard, 100% royalty-free. Available in Apple Loops, ACID, REX2 and WAV format.
This Oracle Pack Vol 1 gave producers the kicks, snares, hats, and loops they’ve always been searching for. Each tape processed and analog sampled drums. It also features drums used on Jay Z’s Tom Ford and Justin Timberlake’s Suit and Tie.
