FAQs
-
Will these drum breaks work in my sampler?
These breaks work in ANY sampler or software that reads WAV files, including all modern MPCs, Akai Force, MPC Software/MPC Beats, and most legacy MPCs.
-
Are these new and original breaks?
Yes, completely new, recorded by Richard Preston & Timmy Rickard. They are 100% royalty free, so once you've purchased the pack you can use them in your beats as you please, with no sample clearance payments, and no accreditation required.
-
What recording techniques were used to create the authentic vintage sound?
All the breaks were recorded using vintage mics, direct to analogue mixing desks and then to analogue tape for a warm & saturated sound. The 'Tape to Dubplate' breaks (Timmy Rickard) were pressed to vinyl and resampled for even more authentic crunch.
