Producer, musician and sound engineer Mirko Schaffer is a well known figure in the German rock scene. He started his career as a musician for the German-American hardrock band Kingdom Come. Ever since he has worked in the field of music production and sound engineering for artists such as Die Ärzte, Farin Urlaub, Xavier Naidoo, Ray Garvey (Reamonn), and Andru Donalds, just to name a few. As a composer, he is also responsible for the first – and so far the only – platinum soundtrack to a German movie “KeinOhrhasen” and its successor “ZweiOhrKüken”. The latter reached Gold status.

Producer, drummer and instrument library developer Chris Marr is the man behind the sound of SPL’s brand new DrumXchanger. He has produced the “SPL Surrounded by Drums” DVD and, among other things, some sample libraries for Yamaha, Technics as well as ddrum3 and 4.
We asked Chris how he recorded the samples for DrumXchanger: “I played the drums myself. Every drum part was recorded with four microphones through two Channel Ones and two Track Ones. Additionally, I inserted a Transient Designer in every channel. The overhead signals were recorded and pre-amplified with a GoldMike MK2 with two Transient Designer. Ambience Close and Ambiense Far were also captured with a Transient Designer looped into each channel.”
