Legendary Ken Scott delivers the “impossible”, recreates tones made 30 years ago with EpiK DrumS: A Ken Scott Collection
Scott G’s Report for Recording Hacks features Ken Scott and Rod Morgenstein discussing Sonic Reality’s EpiK DrumS: A Ken Scott Collection as part of the reporter’s NAMM experience, here are quotes from the article:
“If you’ve ever tried to match tones across sessions, you know it’s a challenge. Even if you have the same instrument, the same room, and the same mics, the sound can be different. Why? The mic isn’t in exactly the same place. The gain and EQ knobs aren’t in exactly the same place. The weather has changed. You’ve changed. Now imagine trying to recreate tones from 30 years ago. Gear has come and gone. Studios have been torn down. Playing styles have evolved. It seems impossible. And yet, legendary producer Ken Scott has done it anyway. Apparently weary of being asked how to recreate some of his drum sounds from classic records of the 1970s and 1980s, from artists spanning the creative genres from Missing Persons to Mahavishnu Orchestra, Scott set out to build what will be one of the most amazing drum sample libraries to date.” – Matthew McGlynn, Recording Hacks
