FANTASTiC | 19 November 2019 | 13.8 GBWHAT IF YOU RECORD DRUM MACHINES IN A PRO STUDIO?We wanted to combine classic drum machines ( 15, to be exact ) with the the organic ambience and warmth of studio recorded drums.

So, we took a club PA to two different studios, turned it up really loud, and recorded the results: through high-end mics, vintage consoles, valve pre-amps, bass-amps and even acoustic drum shells.

THE DRUM MACHINESTHE STUDIO CHANNELSEach drum was recorded through 11 different channels in the studio – blend to create any drum sound you desire.
