Electronic musicians, producers, and engineers looking to expand their BFD library will be impressed with BFD Modern Retro, a drum sound expansion library that features a pair of kits that helped define the sound of the '90s and early 2000s.
Produced by Chocolate Audio, the expansion combines extreme levels of detail with varied mic channels and beater types to provide a set of remarkably expressive drums with a wide timbral range. The pack includes instruments that were sampled from a 1997 Sonor Designer and late '90s Tama Starclassic kits, Ludwig, Sonor and Tama snares, and a suite of cymbals and hi-hats by Zildjian, Ufip, Paiste, Turkish, and Sabian. Several sounds feature brush or hotrod versions, while kicks are provided in plastic and felt beater versions and recorded with 4 direct mics. The lush ambience of the recording space is captured with 2 sets of overhead and room mics. The Modern Retro library expansion is compatible with BFD Eco, BFD2, and BFD3 (version 3.4 or later) on Mac or Windows.
