EastWest Fab Four
Description
FAB FOUR is a virtual instrument inspired by the sounds of the Beatles, using the same kind of period instruments & authentic rare EMI recording equipment the Beatles used to create their music. FAB FOUR sound engineer KEN SCOTT worked on five Beatles albums, including “A Hard Days Night”, “Help”, “Rubber Soul”, “Magical Mystery Tour” (engineer) and “The Beatles” (engineer) – also known as the “White Album”.
Drummer DENNY SEIWELL Guitarist LAURENCE JUBER were both members of Paul McCartney & Wings. “The Beatles had a profound impact on me, as they did for millions of others” said FAB FOUR producer DOUG ROGERS, “they were the initial influence for my fascination with sounds. They were creative geniuses that never rested on their laurels, always producing exciting new music & sounds with each new record, much of it ground-breaking!

RECREATE THE SOUND OF THE BEATLES
No expense was spared finding the same kind of period instruments, rare authentic EMI and other recording equipment the Beatles used to create their sound. Well over a million dollars worth of instruments, amplifiers, microphones, recording desks (including very rare EMI REDD tube and TG12345), 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 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 fab!
