Episode 1

In this first episode of the Circles podcast, we discuss the process of recording drums outside for our Desert and Buffalo libraries.

While acknowledging the ridiculousness of recording drum sample libraries outside, we get into the details of what makes this difficult, peoples reaction to these outdoor libraries and some interesting tones we were able to find during these recording sessions.

Hosted by Stefan Runstrom and Tyler Lindgren of Circles Drum Samples.
