The samples (WAV format) are a mix of mono and stereo, where appropriate. Unlike the various enormous drum libraries out there, Groove Bias simplifies mixing, combining mics into single patches. The audio content includes five snares, four kicks, nine toms, three hats (closed, loose, open, pedal), two rides, two crashes, two splashes, two rims, handclaps, tambourine, shaker, agogo, bongos, woodblocks, cowbell and triangle. The library contains nearly 2000 samples across three custom drum kits and a set of percussion. The result is what we think you’ll agree is the funkiest, “phattest” acoustic drum library around. We put over eight months of work into the meticulous recording and editing process, whole sessions going by before we were finally satisfied with a single snare sound. This is a library for people that love their drums. Set up your MPC and dial up the room mics and you’re creating classic drum breaks that are completely fresh. Tweak the low end and add a bit of vinyl buzz and you’ve got kit sound right out of “In a Gadda da Vida”. Sweeten it with some extra saturation (or pull up the appropriate preset) and it can provide the basis for a Chemical Brothers style big beat track. Groove Bias works in a wide range of genres thanks to the way we designed and recorded it. Our motto was “the more tubes, the better,” and we armed ourselves to the teeth with beat-up mics, analog gear, vintage drums and tape machines. For decades, these sounds have been imitated and sampled over and over, but many producers have preferred to try and capture old kits with pristine, modern recording methods. The goal of Groove Bias was to create a set of deeply sampled acoustic drum kits inspired by classic 50s, 60s and 70s records and the timeless breakbeats we all know and love. Over eight months of recording and editing.
