SUB by Sampleson: Revive Vintage Rhythms in Your DAW
In the world of digital audio, where every sample and synthesizer seems perfect, sometimes you want to return to your roots – to the warm, lively, and sometimes unpredictable sound of analog instruments. This is where SUB by Sampleson comes in – a vintage analog drum module designed to bring a classic atmosphere and powerful groove to your music projects. Developed by Sampleson, known for its unique approach to emulating classic equipment, SUB promises to become an indispensable tool in your VST plugin collection.
SUB is not just another set of samples. It’s a careful emulation of vintage analog circuits, recreating the character and soul of classic drum machines that shaped the sound of entire musical eras. From deep, punchy kicks to sharp snares and sizzling hi-hats, every sound in SUB is infused with the same analog warmth and punch that is so valued by producers around the world.
The Heart of the Plugin: Classic Drums and Powerful SUB
The foundation of SUB is its analog drum module, which contains recreations of many classic drum sounds. Here you will find sounds that are ideal for creating rhythmic patterns in a wide variety of genres – from old-school hip-hop and funk to contemporary electronic music such as techno, house or electro. Each sound has its own unique character, allowing you to easily fit it into a mix and add that same analog “glue” that makes tracks truly alive.
But the highlight of SUB is, without a doubt, its sub-frequency oscillator. This function adds “extra fun,” as the developers note, allowing you to generate extremely deep and powerful bass frequencies.
Sub-frequency oscillator capabilities:
- Kick Enhancement: Add a devastating sub to your kicks to make them feel not only with your ears but also with your body. Ideal for electronic music, where powerful lows play a key role.
- Bassline Creation: Use the oscillator for simple but effective sub-bass parts that will become a solid foundation for your track.
- Sound Design: Experiment with the oscillator to create unique sound effects and textures based on low frequencies.
This combination of classic drum sounds and a powerful sub-oscillator makes SUB an incredibly flexible tool. You can use it as the main source of drums for the entire track, or add individual elements – for example, only a deep kick with a sub-frequency or a characteristic analog snare – to enrich existing parts.
SUB in your workflow
One of the advantages of SUB is its compatibility and ease of integration into any modern DAW. The plugin is available in the most popular formats:
- VST
- AU (Audio Units)
This means that no matter if you are working in Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase or any other program that supports these formats, you will be able to easily add SUB to your project.
In addition, SUB supports the most common operating systems:
- Windows (32-bit and 64-bit)
- MacOS (OSX)
This cross-platform capability ensures maximum convenience for musicians and producers, regardless of their working system. The plugin does not require excessively powerful computer resources, which allows you to use it efficiently even in complex projects.
Conclusion
