Details

Tracking took place in Studios 2 and 3 at Abbey Road and was printed to 2‑inch analog tape through era‑appropriate outboard gear. This yields punchy transients with spacious room tone that sits naturally in mixes.

The instrument provides a flexible mixer with close mics, overheads, and room channels, alongside curated presets for quick recall. A groove library of hand‑played MIDI patterns gets you into genre‑correct rhythms fast.
