EastWest Fab Four Virtual Instrument (Download)

Unlock the legendary sound of The Beatles with this comprehensive virtual instrument collection featuring meticulously recreated period instruments and vintage recording equipment. This production draws from an extraordinary investment of over one million dollars in authentic rare guitars, basses, drums, keyboards, and amplifiers—the exact same gear that shaped some of the most iconic recordings in music history. Every element has been carefully selected and recorded to authentically capture the sonic character that defined an era.

The collection showcases performances from renowned session musicians including drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Laurence Juber, both of whom performed with Paul McCartney and Wings. Each instrument was recorded through a carefully curated selection of vintage microphones including Neumann, AKG, Cole, and STC models, then processed through legendary outboard gear such as Fairchild limiters and EMI RS124 modified Altec compressors. The entire project was co-engineered by audio legend Ken Scott, ensuring studio-grade authenticity in every sample. This makes it an invaluable resource for film and television composers, game audio designers, and producers seeking distinctive sounds that transcend typical virtual instrument libraries.

A standout feature is the inclusion of analog-modelled Artificial Double Tracking with tape emulation, custom-engineered specifically for this collection. This technology recreates the signature doubling techniques that became synonymous with Beatles recordings, allowing modern producers to achieve that warm, layered vocal and instrumental character without relying on external processing. Whether you’re scoring a period piece, crafting retro-inspired contemporary music, or simply exploring the technical innovations that revolutionized recording, this download provides an unparalleled sonic foundation.
