Wide Range Of Unique Sounds
A total of 197 unique sounds have been recorded across two sample packs. 84 hits can be found in the Big Bang Impacts sample pack and 113 hits can be found in the Epic Impacts sample pack. Both sample packs have been recorded in various different world war 2 bases and bunkers across the UK. All locations are disused and an ideal location for recording such impactive sounds. At these locations you will find a wide range of steel doors and shutters, that are perfect for recording impacts. To achieve the widest variety of sounds possible, we used a number of different mallets and hammers. Including rubber mallets, sledgehammers, baseball bats and claw hammers.

Full Rich Sound
All sounds have been processed at the Audio Animals studio using high quality analogue equipment. By doing so we are able to add a full rich analogue sound to each sample. Within this sample pack the SPL twintube and Rupert Neve Portico 542 tape saturation were used to great effect. The SPL twintube is used to add a solid round tube saturation sound, whilst the Neve 542 in silk red mode adds 3rd harmonic saturation, adding a bright crunchy top end.

VST Samplers Tone Mixer
The tone mixer that can be found in the VST sampler really expands on the sound design possibilities. 4 parameters can be adjusted including drive, body, snap and brighten. Each parameter has been designed to get the very best out of each hit. Drive can be used to achieve a more saturated and grittier hit. Body increases the amount of low mid body the sample has. By turning this parameter up you'll achieve a more rounder fuller hit. Snap is a great feature, used to add snap or punch to the hit. Snap is used to great effect if you need to give your hit a hard impact when it initially hits. Brighten adds a bright saturated sheen to your hit, in a way that achieves more presence as well as perceived width.
