Lost Tapes From Mars - About

Overview

In celebration of our 10 year anniversary, we’ve created Lost Tapes From Mars - an unofficial collection of 250 royalty-free, WAV one-shots, pulled from 30 reels of 1/4” tape used in our recording sessions over the past decade at Samples From Mars. This not-sample-pack is available as a free, exclusive download only to our most supportive customers - the sounds will never be on the website or released to the public. 

Lost Tapes is full of the happy accidents that occur incrementally, over years of diverse sessions, ranging from daytime business sampling, to half drunk night time music jams with friends and everything in between. Specific signal chains, groups of gear, moods, methodologies (and lack thereof) inspire complex, characterful sounds filled with more artifacts, color, randomness, vibe and noise than any one sampling session could ever offer. 

The sounds included here are more similar to sampling your favorite record (off tape 😉) than any of our traditional, more perfected packs - with the benefit here that they are royalty-free. So, without further ado, please enjoy, as a special thank you for your support, this collection of one-off electronic and acoustic drums, echoes, demonic vocal hits, chord stabs, splices, and weirdo FX that can only come from 10 years of continuously exploring sound at Samples From Mars 🕺 

Notes:

These sounds are purposefully RAW - coming directly off old tapes into our DAW - we deliberately chose not to further refine these sounds with processing or excessive trimming. Feel free to trim and process to taste! 

Gear Used: 

Who knows?? A lot of amazing stuff. Let’s not worry about any of that for this one :)
