Spectrasonics takes Retro into the future!
- Awesome Live drum & percussion grooves
- Authentic Vintage Sound, Feel & Style
- Multiple world-class Drummers, Studios and Engineers
- Transitional Song Construction Elements
- Ultra-Wide Sonic Variety
- Unprecedented Control
A fresh take on the killer vintage sound. The sonic
texture of these loops makes them ultra-flexible, bringing massive "vibe"
to any modern track. Producer Eric Persing's
mixes create a unique, dry sonic attitude in this library, making it ideal
for layering with other groove elements. Vintage mics, warm Analog tape
compression and antique drums all contribute to the funkiness. And with
Groove Control™,
the grooves are at your command, effortlessly blending their timing and
human feel to match your music. Turn a GoGo groove into Deep House, a
JB Boogaloo into Drum & Bass, a Fatback P-Funk groove into Alternative
Reggae, or an R&B stomp into a Pop Ballad! It's scary how quickly
you can sound like a remix genius!
There have been numerous drum loop products produced in the past, but
never before with this level of quantity, quality, flexibility and variety.
The authenticity in Sound, Feel and Style is unprecedented.
Producers Eric Persing and Bob Wilson, went to great lengths to insure that every groove was performed
with maximum inspiration and is truly "the real deal".
Normally, a drum loop library features the same drummer playing one kit,
in one studio, all recorded in one day -resulting in the same basic sound
throughout the collection. It may be good, but the lack of variety gets
old quickly. In one of the biggest departures from other drum loop discs,
Retro Funk was created from months of recording sessions with multiple
world-class drummers -each recorded by different engineers in numerous
legendary Hollywood studios like Captial Records, The Enterprise and O'Henry's.
The focus is on live drumming with serious feel, vintage drums and a huge
variety of original grooves and fills from four incredible drummers!
The featured players on Retro Funk include:
Gregg Bissonette (Santana, Joe Satriani, Don Henley)
Bob Wilson (Liquid Grooves, George Benson, The Crusaders)
John Ferraro (Larry Carlton, David Benoit, Albert Lee, Aaron Neville)
Eric Boseman (Liquid Grooves, James Newton-Howard)
Create your own complete drum
track with Song Construction Elements including Variations, Fills, Fill
Bars, Intros, Breakdowns, Ride and Sidestick patterns, Add-on Cymbals,
Claps, Vinyl noise and funky live Percussion loops too! This massive stash
of grooves is destined to be another Spectrasonics legend.
*note: The CD-ROM versions of Retro Funk include the
Audio/Data CD for speed referencing, as well as a bonus Retro Funk "mod"
for Rebirth fanatics!
