| EQ Magazine reviews FAB FOUR |
| Sunday, May 4, 2008 |
| As you play the instruments, you'll recognize many signature sounds-guitars, keyboard, drums, sitar-but that doesn't mean you have to play the licks they provided for the Beatles. In fact, using them in other contexts provides an intriguing combination of freshness and deja vu; these are highly playable, "organic" sounds that have intrinsic merit and coolness, regardless of their lineage. The... [MORE] |

| Sound on Sound reviews Voices of Passion |
| Thursday, April 3, 2008 |
| The deliveries comprise a choice of simple and evolving vowel sounds, short ultra-breathy 'ahs', hums, crescendos and drifting-pitch sustains (good for spooky cluster chords). All in all, a very varied and colourful 7.3GB collection of expressive, finely performed and beautifully recorded solo female vocal performances, all patiently waiting their chance to make it onto the soundtrack of...

| Voices of Passion review in Mix Magazine |
| Wednesday, April 2, 2008 |
| I almost jumped out of my seat the first time I instantiated this library and played a note. That’s how much personality these performances capture. The amount of attitude is in fact the strength of VOP and, in a sense, its limitation. Female singers from America, Bulgaria, Syria, and Wales were tracked, and EW made some very interesting decisions. Instead of performing actual words, the Syrian... [MORE] |
| FAB FOUR in Mix Magazine |
| Tuesday, April 1, 2008 |
| Given their beauty, and the ease with which they can be molded, the bulk of the Fab Four samples are both outstandingly accurate reproductions of sounds that helped create some of the most memorable music in the history of rock, and sample sets that can be turned into aural tapestries that evoke an earlier era without being tethered to it. It takes a bit of cheek and a lot of skill to attempt... [MORE] |

| FILM MUSIC MAGAZINE about SD2 - The next Generation |
| Tuesday, March 18, 2008 |
| As a composer, Storm Drum 2 is the percussion section I always wanted as a composer. I’m confident that if Jerry Goldsmith were alive today, he would echo my sentiments, as so many of the sounds I’m hearing I’ve heard live in many memorable sessions. This is a great collection that offers no end of possibilities for those involved not only in dramatic scoring, but who also want one crackin’... [MORE] |
| FAB FOUR review KEYBOARD MAGAZINE 02/2008 |
| Saturday, March 1, 2008 |
| Standouts for uncanny realism include, well, pretty much the entire library — the guitar sounds are so authentic they could have been lifted directly off the original multitrack session tapes. Fab Four absolutely nails the iconic instrument sounds created at Abbey Road Studios by the Beatles, George Martin, Ken Scott (who worked on engineering Fab Four, in fact), Geoff Emerick, Alan Parsons,...

| Voices of Passion wows in EQ Magazine |
| Tuesday, February 12, 2008 |
| Wow! Well, that’s the short-form review. To elaborate, these are superbly-recorded “ethnic” samples from Bulgaria, Syria, India, Wales (think Enya), and America (which tend toward more multisampled notes rather than idiosyncratic phrases). They play back through EastWest’s Play engine (32/64-bit, Windows/Mac, ASIO/Core Audio, VST/AU/RTAS) which itself is pretty cool, with convolution reverb,... [MORE] |
| FAB FOUR REVIEW by Barry Rudolph - Music Connection |
| Saturday, February 2, 2008 |
| I installed Fab Four in my Pro Tools rig and instantly fell in love with all the sounds--all 13GB of them. Check out: "With A Little Help From My Bass", "Bass Tripper", "Because I'm A Harpsichord", "Madonna Piano", "Baby I'm Clavioline", "Strawberry Flutes", "We Can Work A Harmonium", "I'm A Blackbird Guitar", "Revostortion Guitar", and Swarmandel Forever." The drums and bass sounds are... [MORE] |
