Studio Works

'Studio Works' from Ueberschall marks an ambitious new milestone in live sounding, funk-filled, organic loop content. Diverse variations of Soul and sub-genres are provided for each instrument choice, with top-notch players providing unique character and originality to their phrase treatment and articulation.

Ueberschall set out to capture the best of the "Studio A" session feel using premium analog gear with proprietary mixing and mastering methods. Zero MIDI quantizing was desired or applied for the purposes of this release, thereby retaining the live human-made vibe in all phrases and grooves.

This 1.8 GB package is immensely compatible with Soul, Funk, Retro, RnB, Acid Jazz, House, and Downbeat sound environments. In addition to the Construction Kits, a substantial selection of individual phrases are also provided.

These kinds of tones and the broad range of variety included offer a universal appeal for countless additional genres, old, new and hybrid. Musical purposes of varying scales and mediums can benefit from this classic sound treasury.

'Studio Works' provides a convenient way to access a variety of full bodied, naturally enriched tones without having to setup, engineer, schedule and oversee sessions under tight budgets and time restraints.

'Analog Foundation':

Ueberschall strived to maintain richness of tone from the ground up in their approach and implementation of methods to assemble this collection. Zero Virtual Instruments/Virtual Effects were used, leaving the material in its most transparent valve, tube, tape-enhanced state, to further alter and treat at your discretion.
