FAB FOUR

OVERVIEW

  • Authentic rare period guitars (acoustic and electric), basses, drums, keyboards, stringed and other instruments
  • Featuring performances from drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Laurence Juber (from Paul McCartney and Wings)
  • Analog-modelled Artificial Double Tracking with tape emulation, custom-built for Fab Four
  • Exact recreations of the equipment setups used by The Beatles to create their iconic sound, and co-engineered by audio legend Ken Scott
  • Recorded through vintage Neumann, AKG, Cole, and STC microphones

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!

Mixer

The quality is undeniable, I can't imagine what EastWest must have gone through to track down these sounds (and get Beatles engineer Ken Scott on board).

Exact Recreations of the Original Sound

Most of the sounds in Fab Four would be impossible to create without the original (and incredibly rare) 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 (the exact design from the EMI/Abbey Road engineers). The same kind of limiters (Fairchild) and compressors (rare EMI RS124 modified Altec) were used for dynamics control, and everything was recorded through vintage microphones (Neumann, AKG, Cole, and STC) and into a J-37 tube 4-track.

Classic Guitar

Given their beauty, and the ease with which they can be molded, these Fab Four instruments are outstandingly accurate reproductions of sounds that helped create some of the most memorable music in the history of rock, They can turned into aural tapestries that evoke an earlier era without being tethered to it.

Clavioline, electric harpsichord, Hammond B3 organ, Lowery Heritage Deluxe Organ, Steinway B piano, harmonium, and original flute samples from the Mellotron all come together to make this the most detailed collection of period keys available.

Bass Poster

Bass

A nuanced collection of classics like the 1963 Hofner 500 and 1964 Rickenbacker 4001S, perfect for a nicely rounded pluck and gentle taper on the sustain. The basses boast a playful contour that sits perfectly with the drums.

Drums

Not too heavy, with a punch that’s just right. The recordings and processing are ultra-tight, so you can recreate the classic Beatles drum sound right out of the box.

Misc Poster

Everything that simply couldn’t fit into the other collections — sitar, tabla, swarmandel, aux percussion, and a vintage recording of a screaming crowd of girls licensed by the BBC — a perfect tribute to the heartthrobs of classic rock.

Fab Four is a true jewel for all fans of the classic Beatles sounds. Producer Doug Rogers and engineer Ken Scott, (the Beatles, David Bowie and Elton John) have tried with almost boundless efforts to capture the sound spirit of legendary recordings.
