Snares with impact & character
LONDON, UK (September 16, 2016) - Audio software developer FXpansion, now part of the leading music technology company ROLI, are pleased to announce the availability of BFD Metal Snares - a collection of premium metal-shell snare drums for BFD3.
"The snare drum is the center of the beat and it can make or break a song," said
FXpansion sound designers Drew Vernon and Mike Bugh. "The drums we
chose are made by manufacturers like Sonor and Pearl that are renowned
for metal snares that really stand out in a mix."
Each snare drum was recorded with 2 top mics, 1 bottom mic
and 1 side mic, along with mono room, ribbon room, and far room ambience
channels. Two additional stereo reverb channels were added to achieve a
massive sound. The five hand-selected snare drums were recorded with
wires on and off and are included in both natural and processed
versions.
"We wanted to capture an array of excellent snares made from
various metals like brass, bronze, steel, and aluminum that are full of
character and offer huge sound. The end result is a collection of snares
that punch and crack with clarity, cut through a mix, and are instantly
usable."
BFD3 is the third generation of FXpansion's flagship software
acoustic drum studio, delivering new levels of detail and realism with
stunning new kits, mix-ready presets and modeling technology for tom
resonance and cymbal swells. The revamped interface has a new mixer and
sound browser for the easiest BFD experience yet.
