THE ROOM
One of the biggest goals with Drum Daddy was to make sure the room and overheads had that authentic sound and response that live tracked drums have. The room is what makes the drums, and most of the time its what drum library’s are missing. That’s why all of Drum Daddy’s samples were recorded at Capital House Studio. Owned, and operated by Nick Ingram, Nick spent years in the music industry learning the tricks and studying acoustics so he could build the best drum room. The studio features an impressive live room with 15′ ceilings, and cement floors to give the best acoustics for any kit. All samples were engineered and mixed by Nick Ingram.

1906 HARRISON PIPE ORGAN
The organ in All Saints Church, Tooting is considered to be one of the finest examples of Harrison & Harrisons work.
Built in 1906 and voiced by the great Arthur Harrison – surely the first celebrity sound-designer – it is particularly notable for its delicate and quiet registers; as well as the lowest bass we have ever heard.
Tonally unaltered since it was installed in the church over 100 years ago, it features 41 stops, not including couplings. We have sampled 25 of these in full, covering every note.
KONTAKT PLAYER COMPATIBLE
This is a Kontakt Player instrument. This means that you do not need to own the full version of NI Kontakt to use it. It will run as a plug-in instrument in any VST/AU/RTAS/AAX/WASAPI,compatible host program or DAW eg: Cubase, Logic, Ableton Live, DP, Reaper, Pro-Tools. No extra purchase necessary.
Let’s face it. Most House drum kits contain the same old kicks, snares, and hats, we all have heard so many times before. Therefore, our goal behind the Entropy Melodic House sample pack was to bring some new, never heard before sounds to the table. We grabbed our field recorder once again, recorded dozens of high-quality foley samples, tweaked and layered them, and eventually came up with a decent selection of unique drum hits.
..but we took it a step further..
We cooked up 60 mix-ready hat and top loops, which can be dragged right into your DAW to get new ideas going quickly. You’ll also get access to 24 beautiful melodies, and matching MIDI files, plenty of effects sounds, and vocal atmospheres. Entropy is a complete production library that has a size of 2.03 GB and contains more than 1000 total files.
