Sweden is one of the largest music exporters in the world. How a country of some ten million people has managed to become a cogwheel in the international hit-making community is a slight mystery. However, fact remains that since the heydays of ABBA and through to today, Sweden – and particularly Stockholm – has produced songwriters, artists and hits across all genres imaginable in an almost assembly line-like fashion. Regardless the reason, with this collection of sounds we’ve set out to bring some of that mojo straight to your desktop.
This SDX for Superior Drummer 3 was recorded at Riksmixningsverket (RMV Studio). Housed in a 150-year-old naval warehouse and beautifully situated right on the water at the inlet of the river, this is one of the proper gems of the central Stockholm studio scene. With rustic ceiling beams breaking up the diffusion, reflective surfaces of several types of material and with a soft wooden floor that acts like a cushioning membrane in the studio’s relatively large but still compact-sounding room, it’s a space ideal for bringing out the inherent qualities of any acoustic instrument. All in all, five kits were recorded – each handpicked to complement the others and to serve its own role in what the team set out to capture: a unique palette of beautifully singing drums covering the entire spectrum of tones – from warm, earthy and genuinely sparse to bright, loud and vibrantly forceful.
In addition to the drums, a basic set of grooves performed by sampling drummer Josephine Forsman (known from the Swedish band Sahara Hotnights) as well as a broad selection of presets designed by session engineer Linn Fijal as well as by the Tooontrack sound design team are provided. This all combined will enable you to get started instantly with great-sounding drum beats and mixes that you can use as springboards to venture off into your own unchartered sonic spaces.
From one of the top pop metropolises of the world straight to your desktop, here’s an SDX that decisively underlines that there is absolutely nothing stock about Stockholm. Welcome in to the studio. Have a seat at the console…and start mixing!
瑞典是世界上最大的音乐出口国之一。一个拥有约1000万人口的国家是如何成为国际热门制作界的齿轮的,这有点神秘。然而,事实仍然是,从ABBA的鼎盛时期到今天,瑞典——尤其是斯德哥尔摩——以近乎流水线式的方式培养了所有类型的词曲作者、艺术家和热门歌曲。不管出于什么原因,通过这组声音,我们已经开始将一些魔力直接带到您的桌面上。
这张《Superior Drummer 3》的SDX是在Riksmixningsverket(RMV工作室)录制的。这座建筑坐落在一个有150年历史的海军仓库里,坐落在河入口处的水面上,非常漂亮,是斯德哥尔摩市中心工作室场景中的瑰宝之一。质朴的天花板横梁打破了几种材料的漫射、反射表面,柔软的木地板就像工作室相对较大但仍然紧凑的音响室中的缓冲膜,这是一个理想的空间,可以发挥任何声学乐器的内在品质。总的来说,录制了五个工具包——每个工具包都是精心挑选的,以补充其他工具包,并在团队开始捕捉的内容中发挥自己的作用:一个独特的、优美的鼓声调色板,覆盖了从温暖、朴实、真正稀疏到明亮、响亮、充满活力的整个音调范围。
除了鼓之外,还提供了由采样鼓手Josephine Forsman(瑞典乐队Sahara Hotnights)演奏的一套基本凹槽,以及由会话工程师Linn Fijal和Toontrack声音设计团队设计的多种预设。这一切的结合将使您能够立即开始使用听起来很棒的鼓声和混音,您可以将其用作跳板,冒险进入自己未知的声音空间。
从世界顶级流行大都市之一直接到您的桌面,这是一张SDX,它明确地强调了斯德哥尔摩绝对没有股票。欢迎来到工作室。坐在控制台旁…开始混音吧!
