After 6+ months of work, I’ve finally finished my new sample library, Groove Bias: Vintage Drum Sounds - and it is now officially available through Impact Soundworks! You can pick it up in Kontakt/EXS-24/HALion for just $99 or in Reason’s NN-XT format for $89. Just visit the Impact Soundworks store or the product page for purchase links!

Haven’t heard of Groove Bias yet? It’s a 4gb collection of old-school drum sounds, recorded using all-analog gear, vintage mics, busted consoles and, of course, TAPE. It took three separate studios to record the 3,500+ samples of 24/96 content, which comprise three custom acoustic drum kits and a set of assorted percussive instruments. Here’s a video of the library in action, courtesy of Brandon Bush:

All formats of Groove Bias are unlocked for your editing and re-mapping pleasure, and with 5-10 round robins and 5-16 velocities per switchable kit component, you’ve got a lot to play with!

You can find more audio demos and detailed product information at the product page. I’ve been having a blast with this library for months now, so I’m happy it’s now open to everybody else.
