Description

Fab Four is a virtual instrument inspired by the Beatles’ sound. It uses the same kind of period instruments and rare EMI recording equipment. The sound engineer, Ken Scott, worked on five Beatles albums. Drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Laurence Juber were both members of Paul McCartney and Wings.

No expense was spared in finding the same equipment, including rare EMI and other recording gear, period instruments, and amplifiers. The production used over a million dollars worth of gear, including EMI REDD tube and TG12345 desks, Fairchild limiters, and Studer J-37 tube multi-tracks. This collection is for composers and musicians seeking sounds not found in other collections, perfect for blending with modern music.
