Description : 8Dio Studio Steel Drum is an extreme deep picking steel drum.
The instrument consists of over 55,000 samples, 5 real vintage mic positions, 2 world class reverbs (Bricasti & TC6000). 8Dio Studio Steel Drum has been specially designed for 8Dio. We wanted the instrument to cover all ranges from low to high frequencies, but placed them in a single steel drum. We tried the instrument with several types of hammers (like mallets, felt hammer, brushes, nails, rattles, effects, etc.) up to 10 speed layers and 10 repetitions. We recorded the instrument with four vintage microphones including Neumann, Neve, Coles, Royers. Also included is a mixed mic that loads as the default setting. Everything was meticulously recorded and processed in 24bit/96k in our UK studio via a historic Neve custom table and then painstakingly downscaled to 48k for easy streaming. The main content was obtained using various types of hammers, from rubber mallets and felt mallets to hands and hands. In addition, we tried prepared and percussive methods. All of which with multiple dynamics and repetitions to allow for maximum realism. In addition to all this, the library gives you complete control over dynamic response and sound quality so that the perfect sound can be dialed just for you. We’ve included full control over resonance, room tone, keyboard response, and transient shape.
