“All the samples, plugins, and tutorial videos you need to make speaker crushing beats!”
The Audio Weapons Drum Rack is a combination of a hard-hitting, layered sample pack with a totally dialed in Drum Rack, set up perfectly to make speaker crushing beats. I’ve set up Macros that allow you to quickly select your percussion samples with the turn of a knob. Say goodbye to slowly searching through sample libraries to find the right sounds.
- Earth shaking kicks: A kicks bus, containing 2 separate kick Racks with a total of 124 layered kick samples.
- Searing snares and claps: A snares & claps bus containing 2 separate snare & clap Racks with a total of 127 layered clap & snare samples.
- Sizzling hi hats: A hat Rack with 64 layered hat samples.
- High quality samples: All samples are 44.1 kHz, 16 bit .wav.
- Reversed kick and snare hits to add variation to your beats.
- Easily get that “professional sound”: Specially tailored effects processing chains for each of the busses, with compression, distortion, EQing and limiting.
- Gate effects on each of the percussion busses to control the decay tails of your sounds if you’re making faster music like breaks, electro, hardcore and drum & bass.
Once you have your sounds chosen, it’s time to add processing to them. All of the similar sounds are bussed together for easy processing. There’s a Kicks bus, a Snares & Claps bus, and a Hats bus, each with it’s own specially designed processing Rack, complete with all the effects you’ll need to dial in your beats.
Adding space and presence to your sounds is a critical part of making professional beats. I’ve added in 5 custom Return Racks directly in the Drum Rack, using it’s built in Send and Return function. You get:
- A short, drum-room style reverb perfect for snares and hats.
- A dimension expander to create stereo slapback effects to make your sounds wide and fat.
- A ping pong delay to add interest to your stereo without complicated panning automation.
- New York style parallel compression to make your beats sound HUGE, while retaining transient punch.
- An exciter to add sizzle and top end enhancement.
Every effect that can be set to a high quality mode is set to high quality. You do not need Sampler or any third party samples to run this. It’s a completely self-contained percussion arsenal!
Tutorial Videos Included!
I truly want you to understand how to make pro sounding beats, so I’ve included a full set of tutorial videos. You get access to 15 streaming HD tutorials. That’s approximately 45 minutes of in-depth, no secrets held back explanation of how I built the Drum Rack and how you can use it in your own tunes. Because the videos are HD, you can easily follow along by watching every parameter on my screen in crystal clear detail. The videos are broken down into bite sized chunks 1-5 minutes in length so you can better absorb the information, or quickly skip ahead to learn about a specific feature.

Dominick Versetto agreed on the bouncing to audio part. I like working with audio samples within Drum Racks better.
Rating by Vespers on :
Dominick Versetto hey mate. For sure. That’s the beauty of Drum Racks. You can put synths and any other instrument in the pads.
Rating by Clovis M Rousseau on :
thanks Vespers
Rating by Dominick Versetto on :
Thinking about it, it’s prolly a better idea to bounce it to audio. It’s a lot easier to mangle it that way.
Rating by Dominick Versetto on :
I don’t suppose there’s any reason that we couldn’t put synth drum patches into the racks is there? Or is it designed just for audio clips?
Rating by Vespers on :
Clovis M Rousseau keep the learning going. I’ll keep making videos ;)
