Computer Music Review Of When Alien Drum Robots Attack
Firm favourites of CM, Goldbaby strike again with another prolific collection of samples. Described by the brazen babes as a ‘drum and FX tool box’, this pack is jammed full of high-quality one-shots, kits and loops. There’s also a collection of ‘Rise and Fall’ FX and layering tools such as transient snaps to give your snares more bite, and vinyl crackle to make your kicks sizzle. All of the samples here sound warm and huge, a testament to both the sound sources (vintage drum machines, samplers and synths) and the high-quality processing they underwent.
Don’t be put off by the retro sci-fi terminology and artwork – this package will stretch right across genres like hip-hop, dubstep and DnB, as well as being perfect for house and techno. To top it off, each pack comes with a PDF of pictures of the equipment used to make the samples. This is a hugely versatile, premium quality pack at a great price.
Verdict: 9/10
