Organic Compounds is a multi-format acoustic drum package with real sonic character – super HQ sample recording, but we left a lot of unobtrusive drum and player noises, scrapes and scratches to make it a very unique product with an authentic feel. We have paid close attention to each samples’ start and end points, making sure each hit starts and ends on zero-crossing to avoid all pops and clicks, and provide a wide array of playing styles not usually covered by traditional drum sample libraries. The original, non-normalized samples are included in this package, and yes, there is a cowbell..
The Sound
The samples included in Organic Compounds have been recorded through a combination of AKG C414 B-XLS II and Rode NT-55 microphones. The audio examples at the bottom of the page are a very good representation of the styles of sounds you can get with just the unaffected samples. We have not used any compression, limiting, equalizing or other external processing devices on the original recordings – just pure drum sounds that you can mix as you see fit. Most sound categories include “hard”, “medium” and “light” recordings to allow very flexible velocity layering and round-robin mappings.
