ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC
THE CHANNELS
Each of the 11 channel knobs
represents a different sampled signal
for the selected drum. These can be
blended with the dry signal for subtle
effects, or used solo or in any
combination desired.
1073:
Sampled from a vintage Neve 1073 preamp. The signal was overdriven hard, so
that it can be blended with other signals to give a variable amount of harmonic distortion
effect, or used an extreme sound-design element at higher amounts.
VALVE:
Sampled from a Thermionic Culture Rooster preamp. A moderate overdrive
setting was used, in contrast to the 1073 channel, it is still far from clean.
EMI COMP:
Sampled from the EMI TG12345 desk at State Of The Ark studios, this is an
extreme compression effect. This channel is very useful for adding extra attack to a drum.
AMP:
Sampled from an Ampeg Bass Amp. Driven hard, very crunchy, this is great
blending with kick drums and hi-hats for a totally new character.
ROOM 1
: Sampled from the live room at State Of The Ark studios - a stereo Royer ribbon
mic in the far back corner of the rooms mezzanine area, this has huge character and
features the sound of the wire metal staircase shaking at high volume from the PA
speakers.
ROOM 2:
Sampled from the live room at Monnow Valley Studios. a stereo pair of KM84s
high up in the glass area, behind the PA speakers, give a very big, indirect ambient room
sound.
KIT RES:
Sampled at Monnow Valley studios - a pile of unused tom drums was left in the
huge live room. We mic’d it up and recorded the sound of the drums resonating as the PA
speakers saturated the room with sound. Blending this signal gives a huge sound to kick
drums and a realistic ring to snares and toms.
