Fab Four from EastWest Sounds is a virtual instruments collection inspired by the sounds of the Beatles, using the same kind of period instruments and authentic rare EMI recording equipment the Beatles used to create their music. Fab Four sound engineer Ken Scott worked on five Beatles albums and drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Laurence Juber were both members of "Paul McCartney and Wings".No expense was spared finding similar instruments and other recording equipment the Beatles and their producers used back in the day to produce this modern collection. Well over a million dollars worth of instruments, amplifiers, microphones, recording desks (including very rare EMI REDD tube and TG12345 desks), outboard equipment (including Fairchild limiters and EMI RS124 modified Altec compressors), and Studer J-37 tube multi-tracks were used in this production.If you are a film/TV/game composer, or a musician/producer looking for vintage sounds not found in other collections, this is it. Blending these unique and sometimes bizarre sounds with today's music should enable you to produce something truly spectacular.Instruments: •Guitars (some costing over $200,000 each) played by Laurence Juber include Gretsch Firebird (1959), Gretsch Tennessean (1963), Rickenbacker 360-12 (1965), Martin D-28 (1966), Fender Stratocaster (1956), Epiphone Casino (1956), Fender Telecaster (1951), Gibson SG (1960), Les Paul Goldtop (1957), Gibson J200 (1966), Hofner Bass (1963) and Rickenbacker Bass (1964) •Guitars were sampled with up and down strokes, multiple velocities, and picking styles, some with chords and effects•Most of the sounds would be impossible to create without all of the above equipment. For example, the "revostortion" guitar sound was created by feeding a Epiphone Casino guitar into one EMI REDD 47 preamp, and the output into a second EMI REDD 47 preamp, which is exactly how it was created originally by the EMI/Abbey Road engineers•Drums played by Denny SeiwPrice: $395.00
