TAPED SNARES - The Lo-Fi Collection
Taped Snares: The Lo-Fi Collection
From crisp to crusty — 33 handcrafted snares, each run through real cassette tape for three levels of analog grit. Perfect for lo-fi hip-hop, boom bap, and dusty house beats.
We recorded classic drum machine snares through vintage and modern effect pedals, then onto a Sony TC-FX220 cassette deck with Sony HF-60 tape — not once, but up to three times for that deep, lived-in texture. No plugins, no shortcuts. Just raw tape magic.
