Review of the Tape Drum Machines Vol 1 The Goldbaby team have a fantastic sample philosophy. They collect much sought-after sound sources, record them dry in pristine 24-bit format, then repeat the process, this time recording via analogue tape machines to add a generous helping of saturation. To be blunt, these recordings are perfect.Goldbaby have sampled ten classic drum machines through four different tape machines, totalling over 1400 unique samples that are just begging to be used in your next dance number. House, breaks and D&B producers in particular will love these high-quility drum hits. Computer Music (UK) : 10 / 10 | |||||||||||
Review of the Tape808 The Roland TR-808 has been a staple of electronic music for more than two decades, but getting your hands on the real thing has been something of an expensive ordeal. If your not tempted by virtual clones, then how about this compendium of 407 samples of an 808 running through an Ampex 1/2 valve tape machine. Each hit is provided in a number of forms, with different decay, saturation levels and so on. It all sounds fantastic, and that's what makes the Tape808 a must-buy.

Review of the Tape Drum Machines Vol 2 New Zealand's premier drum machine enthusiast has struck gold again with this selection of meticulous recordings that really put the 'anal' back into analogue. Featuring classic beatboxes such as the LinnDrum, TR-626, DR-55 and Synsonic Pro, recorded to three different tape machines, this collection is a must have for those after crusty old percusion sounds. The samples are recorded with varing levels of distortion, so there's a choice of pristine or crumched-up versions of the sounds.The amount of content here is amazing, especially considering the price. This pack is increadible value. Computer Music (UK) : 10 / 10 | |||||||||||
Review of the MPC60 Vol 1 & 2 plus the Tape808 Here's the thing... I have never gotten the quality of samples from any place that were as reasonably priced as these. It's a rare combination to find this quality - not only in the 24-bit sense - but in the care taken to cut and normalize and create the samples. Everything sounds great and feels tight. In conclusion these kits get the bonus points because of the quality and price combination: Warbeats Rated: 9 / 10 | |||||||||||
Review of the Analog Autorythyms Vol 1 After the familiar sounds of the The Tape808, 909 and freebie 606 (all Roland TR machines), Goldbaby dug up 8 somewhat more obscure vintage drum machines to sample. If you’re into vintage analog drum machine sounds, you’re going to like this one. Since it’s a Goldbaby library you can also be sure the quality is top notch and the price is right.

Review of the Tape909 Goldbaby delivers another outstanding sample pack. The Tape909 includes tons of superb quality samples, with the Ampex tape machine delivering unique samples you will not find anywhere else. This will most definitely be my go-to collection for 909 sounds. Review from rekkerd.org | |||||||||||

Review of the XRB Refill This download-only ReFill might have a small price tag, but it's a pretty big pack for the price... The sounds are certainly good... If you're looking to enhance your Reason drum library this is one way to do it without breaking the bank. Computer Music (UK): 8 / 10 | ||
