Description : Since the sound of the 80’s becomes a trend and increasingly appears in modern mixes of the best performers, as well as in new soundtracks for serials and films, we could not resist and released a drum plug based on the sound of the 80’s drums.
Retro Hit is a drum machine with over 600 drum beats, inspired by pop / dance and rock by popular bands and performers of the 1980s. The plug-in provides 50 sets of barrels, snares, hats, plates, clapps, volumes, FX and percussion, which are available as versions processed by EQ, compression and reverb, as well as untouched processing.
Each element is provided with an individual volume and pan control. Global settings for Pitch, Reverb, Attack and Sustain are also provided. These elements were recorded directly from the vintage drum machines EMU sp12, OB-MX, LINN DRUM and Fairlight. Sounds are also recorded using tube preamps and compressors such as NEVE 1073, Rolex Thermionic Culture and Electrodyne pres, Distressor, Api 2500 and Drawmer 1978. The original samples were equipped with a hardware equalizer, compressor and reverb to recreate the original atmosphere of the 80’s . These sounds will be instantly recognizable and inspire you to work fast and cool.
