XLN Audio is celebrating 10 years in business this month, and what better way than to launch our most ambitious ADpak ever! To record the ultimate pop kit, we went straight to the top: United Recording. Formerly known as Ocean Way, this studio has been the first choice for an insane number of chart toppers including: Beck, The Beach Boys, John Mayer, Madonna, No Doubt, Weezer, U2, and the king of pop himself, Michael Jackson.
Once you hear the incredible drums we recorded in Studio A, you will understand why so many artists choose to record here. Don’t take our word for it, come hear the demos and see our short “making of” video for yourself!
The studio at 6050 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood has gone under several names since its founding in 1957. Built to the exacting standards of Bill Putnam (legendary engineer and founder of Universal Audio), this room has been the birthplace of some of the most iconic hit songs over nearly 50 years. While the gear has been lovingly maintained and updated, the actual recording rooms have remained untouched. Once you hear how great this ADpak sounds, you will understand why.
United Pop features a vintage Leedy & Ludwig kit with a Ludwig nickel over brass snare and an ancient but great sounding Japanese-made "Trump" branded snare. The ADpak includes over 30 professionally-designed presets that deliver instant, radio-ready sounds in many different flavors. If you need further inspiration, there are lots of MIDIpaks with professionally played rhythms to get you started on your next pop production.
