If you're trying to figure out how to craft neo soul, hip hop, analog sounding drum samples that have been recorded onto tape, but you do not have a tape machine or any outboard gear, I'm going to show you how! You do not necessarily need to buy any extra gear. All you need is two mics and two drums! But if you DO have a tape recorder, I'll also show you how.

First I'll walk you through how I tuned my drums. Then I'm going to record a beat to reel to reel, then to the cassette, and then I'm going to walk you through all of my settings and how I recreated that warm analog tape vibe in the box (complete with the actual analog hiss).

SM7B on the kick drum. 58 on the snare. Tuned the snare crazy high. Messed around changing the beater and tuning the kick head. Only one head on the beater side, and a lot of weight on the pillow. A little bit of eq going into the 388 and the cassette recorder. And on the DAW side it was a lot of messing around!

PS I know the api compressor is not free, but I could have just used any free compressor. It doesn't matter that much.
