Multi-mic recordings of some of the hottest snares on the market.
Developed to meet the needs of professional record producers and sound engineers, as well as drummers
and home-recording enthusiasts, Modern Drummer Snare Drum Selects, Volume 1 is a BFD2-compatible collection of studio-quality
sound samples taken from a dozen state-of-the-art drums, all of which have been chosen by the editors of Modern Drummer magazine
for its prestigious Snare Drum of the Month column. The drums represent a selection of some of the latest and greatest in
metal and wood shell designs and tonalities, and were digitally recorded and mastered by leading drum-technology specialist,
John Emrich (frequent Modern Drummer contributor and creator of many of FXpansion's BFD2 sample libraries).
Each drum
used in this collection was meticulously tuned and recorded in a multi-microphone format to showcase its unique sonic properties
and offer the end user maximum flexibility. There are snares-on samples of each drum, plus alternate sounds with sticks, brushes,
mallets, and hands. This collection efficiently and economically offers the highest levels of sonic variety and quality to
virtually any producer, programmer, or player.
Recommended for use in home and professional studio-recording situations,
as well as for easy triggering of high-definition drum sounds in electronic-drum performance, programmed beats, or sound replacement
of recorded drum tracks.
The samples in this collection use the BFD2 format. BFD2 is required for playback.
