Spectrasonics takes Retro into the future!
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 Stylus RMX ™,
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 (Liquid
Grooves), 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)

"This is a release that deals in sheer quality. Top LA session drummers focusing on laid-back and supercool funk drumming....more than enough authentically '70s drumminq sounds and stvles to keep retroheads happy. Provides all the flavor and spirit of retro soul/funk while at the same time susing it with a 'must-sample' sound quality and an infectiously musical groove. There is afantastically wide range of drum sounds used in the grooves...amazingly tight and powerful funk-rockkit sounds that would give even hard rockers a run for their money...Ultimately, Retrofunk's flair, precision, musicianship and sheer usefulness certainly rate it as one of the best drumming discs."
