Description
-Studio Works-
The off-the-grid Soul / Funk workstation with an all natural touch
Sonic Integrity
Studio Works marks an ambitious new milestone in live sounding, funkfilled,
organic loop content. Diverse variations of Soul and sub-genres
are provided for each instrument choice, with top notch players providing
unique character and originality to their phrase treatment and
articulation. We set out to capture the best of the "Studio A" session
feel using premium analog gear with proprietary mixing and mastering
methods. Zero MIDI quantizing was desired or applied for the purposes of
this release, thereby retaining the live human-made vibe in all phrases
and grooves.
This 1.8 GB package is immensely compatible with Soul, Funk, RnB, Acid
Jazz, House, and Downbeat sound environments. In addition to construction
kits, a substantial selection of individual phrases are also provided.
These kinds of tones and the broad range of variety included offer a
universal appeal for countless additional genres, old, new and hybrid.
Musical purposes of varying scales and mediums can benefit from this
classic sound treasury. Studio Works provides a convenient way to access
a variety of full bodied, naturally enriched tone without having to
setup, engineer, schedule and oversee sessions under tight budgets and
time restraints.
-Analog Foundation-

and implementation of methods to assemble this collection. Zero
