Some Classic Audio FC526 Drum Sample Snippets

My friend Johnny K was kind enough to send me some drum clips featuring the FC526 Limiters. The band is Kobra And The Lotus from Calgary. The song snippet is The Spirit Of Radio. This is part of a yet to be released EP they are finishing off of some choice Canadian classic rock tunes. The band is crazy great! The drums were tracked at Johnny’s Groovemaster Studio in Chicago. His tracking room sounds insanely good. The drums are all live and real except a small percentage of sampled kick mixed in.

So we have a few files that will let you play around with some varying amounts of parallel compression. Besides the complete band snippet, they will all line up when you import them into your favorite DAW. 

First are drums with no parallel compression.

Next is only the drum bus thru a pair of FC526’s set to 8:1.

Here is only the drum bus thru the FC526’s with some moderate All Buttons In action.

This clip is also FC526 ABI but smashed to all hell! BTW, this is what Johnny used in his mix.

This is his drum mix with the smashed ABI parallel mixed in.
