East West The Dark Side

Created and produced by Doug Rogers (EastWest) and David Fridmann (MGMT The Flaming Lips etc.) THE DARK SIDE is the first of its kind: an unconventional hip and exciting collection of virtual instruments some dark and eerie and some which have been purposely - and skillfully! - mangled distorted or effected out of all recognition.THE DARK SIDE provides inspiration for all composers and artists looking more info >> for something unique and different and of course if you work in film TV and game music production this will give you an edge to separate you from your competitors.

THE DARK SIDE includes a vast 40 Gigabyte collection including dark and eerie instruments and highly processed drums and percussion basses guitars ethnic keyboard strings and effected instruments all organized into instrumental groups so you can create complete tracks.To produce THE DARK SIDE Rogers partnered with Grammy Award-Winning record producer David Fridmann whose unconventional (and successful) work with the likes of MGMT The Flaming Lips Weezer Mercury Rev Saxon Shore Ammonia Ed Harcourt Sparklehorse Café Tacuba Elf Power Mogwai Thursday The Delgados Low Phantom Planet Gemma Hayes Goldrush Tapes ?n Tapes Hopewell Black Moth Super Rainbow Number Girl Zazen Boys Sleater-Kinney Clap Your Hands Say Yeah OK Go and Tame Impala etc. he had long admired.The Concept for The Dark Side: Creativity without limits!"THE DARK SIDE idea came to me when I was mentoring a young alternative group about some demos they sent me. To my ears the tracks didn?t sound tough enough for their intended market so I told them they needed to toughen up their sound" said Doug Rogers Award-Winning Producer at EASTWEST. "I looked around for sounds that could accomplish this and found absolutely nothing even in our own vast collection. I saw this huge gaping hole in the market that needed to be filled. Then and there I decided to make it my next project after my recent pristine orchestral productions a complete aural turn-around."THE DARK SIDE user interface combines intuitive handling and functions as a plug-in instrument without the need for a sampler. Rogers partnered with Grammy Award-Winning record producer David Fridmann. Fridmanns "no rules" style of production was exactly what Rogers was looking for to help produce THE DARK SIDE instruments.Once they got started they were like bulls in a china shop: mass aural destruction was the name of the game. They turned traditional instruments into highly processed drums percussion basses guitars ethnic keyboards strings and FX all organized into instrument groups for easy audition and recall.Rogers and Fridmann not only tapped into a wealth of recording and producing experience for THE DARK SIDE but had the gear to match. Many individual instruments were processed through 5 or 6 effects units some of the vintage and esoteric tube variety owned by the pair.THE DARK SIDE distorted and mangled instruments are designed to stand out in a mix or to disturb the senses. With todays brick-wall limiting distorted instruments may be the only production trick left to highlight instruments a successful technique used often by Radiohead Muse Nine Inch Nails etc.Features/Specifications:Produced by multiple Award-Winning producer DOUG ROGERS and Grammy Award-Winning producer DAVID FRIDMANN (MGMT Flaming Lips etc.)Many instruments have been purposely?and skillfully!?mangled distorted or effected out of all recognition (plus a selection of dark and eerie instruments).Easy to use browser displays all of your instruments.

FAB FOURis a virtual instrument inspired by the sounds of the Beatles using the same kind of period instruments and authentic rare EMI recording equipment the Beatles used to create their music.FAB FOURsound engineer KEN SCOTT worked on five Beatles albums including "A Hard Days Night" "Help" "Rubber Soul" "Magical Mystery Tour" (engineer) and "The Beatles" (engineer) - also known as the "White Album". Drummer DENNY SEIWELL and Guitarist LAURENCE JUBER were both members of Paul McCartney and Wings."The Beatles had a profound impact on me musically" said FAB FOUR producer DOUG ROGERS "and were the influence for my fascination with sound. They were musical geniuses that never rested on their laurels always producing exciting new music and sounds with each new record much of it ground-breaking! Putting this project together took well over a year of research equipment procurement (much of it from collectors) and putting together a team that could pull off such a feat; but it was a labor of love for us all and the result is truly worth it."No expense was spared finding the same kind of period instruments and rare authentic EMI and other recording equipment the Beatles used to create their sounds to produce this collection much of which ironically will end up in EASTWEST Studio 3 where the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" was recorded the inspiration for the Beatles "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" album according to Paul McCartney.If you are a film/tv/game composer or a musician/producer looking for sounds not found in other collections to create with this is it. Blending these unique and sometimes bizarre sounds with todays music should enable you to produce something truly spectacular!KEY FACTS:Produced by DOUG ROGERSEngineered by KEN SCOTT (Beatles/David Bowie/Elton John/Supertramp etc.)Includes authentic rare period guitars (acoustic and electric) basses drums keyboards stringed and other misc instrumentsThe same kind of microphones were used to record all instruments (Neumann/AKG/Cole/STC)The same kind of period amplifiers - Fender Tan Showman (1963) Fender Bassman (1963) Vox AC30 (1963) Vox AC50 (1965) Vox Defiant (1966) Vox 730 (1966) Vox 7120 (1966) Fender Showman (1967) Fender DeLuxe (1967) - were used with the electric guitarsThe same kind of recording desks and preamps including a very rare EMI REDD tube desk EMI TG12345 desk (the same kind of desk used to record Pink Floyds "Dark Side of the Moon") and EMI REDD47 preamps were used to record all instrumentsThe same kind of limiters (Fairchild) and compressors (rare EMI RS124 modified Altec) were used for dynamics controlThe same kind of Studer J-37 tube 4-track was used to record everything.A Pace iLok is required to use this software.
