LO-FI SAMPLE SERVICE

Regular price $49.99

Let us freak your sounds for you!

 It's super easy, just upload up to 50 sounds in .WAV format for us to then run through whichever unit you have specified. We offer a range of 8-bit samplers, 12-bit samplers, hardware FX units and also 4-track cassette tape. Instantly add some lo-fi mojo to your sound without having to buy, learn and record a vintage machine.

If you are going after a certain sound like over driven input samples or super distortion, let us know. One-shot drums or percussion will work best through these units as some have sample time limitations but synth, vocal, stabs and bass sounds can be done as well. If you want to run full drum breaks through that can be achieved with some tricks.

Sounds will be recorded out of the units and into our API preamp and Lavry A/D converter to send back to you. 72 hour turnaround time.

You retain ownership of the sounds sent to us and they will not be used by us for anything other than the service stated. You also agree to not use the sounds we have helped design in any commercial sample products, only in your music.
