Capture the essence of iconic 80s drums and inject modern tracks with undeniable power.
The Farm Stone Room plug-in isn't just a meticulous recreation of Genesis' studio live room – it's your gateway to the legendary Townhouse Studios drum sound it was modeled after. This isn't just about nostalgia – it's about harnessing the power that shaped countless hit records.
A Rare and Special Space
The stone walls of this unique live room naturally create massive drum sounds, further amplified by the legendary SSL® 4000G console used by producers Hugh Padgham and Nick Davis at Fisher Lane Farm. These studios are gone, but thanks to Genesis and the help of Dave Kerzner and Nick Davis, IK Multimedia meticulously captured this rare space before it vanished.
Unleash the '80s Smash
Want those iconic, radio-ready drum sounds of the 80s? The Farm Stone Room delivers. Its unique Mono Crush controls, featuring a vintage STC® 4021 "Ball & Biscuit" mic, capture the room's punchy, dirty mono character. An SSL® Listen Mic Compressor model adds further power, blending seamlessly with the stereo Neumann® U87 room mics to recreate the thunderous sounds of Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight," Genesis' "Mama," and Peter Gabriel's "Intruder."
Shape Your Sound with Precision
The Farm Stone Room plug-in goes beyond emulation. Sculpt your drum tracks with SSL®-modeled EQ and dynamics, replicating the studio's processing chain. The analog-modeled "SSL® Listen Mic Compressor" on the mono crush signal injects power and punch into any drum track.
Modern Flexibility
IK's latest VRM™ technology delivers the most realistic room simulations ever. Customize the space with "Curtain Open" or "Curtain Closed" options for a bright or darker tone. Refine your sound further with dedicated EQ, pre-delay, and decay time controls. Independent dry and wet signal levels with solo buttons provide total control over your mix.
