Product Information

'The London Sessions' from Zero-G brings you over 5 GB of samples from some of the best session players around, all recorded in glorious 24-Bit audio. Imagine that you had the pick of the best session musicians in London. Musicians who have played for artists as diverse as Amy Winehouse, Chaka Khan, Robbie Williams, Lily Allen, The Specials, Whitney Houston, Ronnie Wood, Mika, Tiny Tempah and Kathryn Williams.

 
Then imagine you record them in one of the best known studios in the world, Dean Street in Soho, London. A studio that has played host to the likes of David Bowie, T-Rex, Thin Lizzy, U2, The Smiths, Robert Plant, Pink Floyd, Tina Turner, Black Eyed Peas, Noel Gallagher, Tinchy Stryder, Plan B, Frank Sinatra and Dusty Springfield, to name but a few.
 
You create 16 unique brand new songs in a wide variety of styles from cool Retro & Soul a la Mark Ronson to Lounge, Rock and Funk, all with the characteristic sound of players who have backed Amy Winehouse and many other incredible artists. 
 
Record it all through a Neve console and mix on an SSL Duality. Then you strip each full length song into its individual tracks and cut those into manageable parts that can be used as the user sees fit.
 
Producer, programmer and engineer Jake Carter has done just that and created a library of 1,700 samples of the utmost quality in terms of musicianship, songwriting and recording quality - all programmed to work in your favourite music software.
 
All the samples in this library have been pre-cleared and are 100% original and royalty-free for your musical use without any additional licensing fees.
 
"16 Construction Kits produced by Jake Carter and a crack team of London session musicians. Stylistically, it's a mixed bag, from Soul and Funk to Rock and 'Retro', and the production is first class. As Construction Kit libraries go, this is one of the best we've heard. There's plenty of material for each kit.."  (Computer Music magazine, UK).
 
"What is most appealing about The London Sessions, though, is the liveliness of the performances. There is a sort of no-nonsense approach to the whole thing, which adds character to the sounds and makes them all the more useable" (Sound On Sound magazine, UK).
 
Sounds Featured:
 
Drums, bass, electric and acoustic guitars, piano, organ and synth are the mainstays of each track but there are also luscious live strings, loads of percussion, plenty of kicking brass, some woodwind, the odd vibraphone, clarinet, music box, mellotron, harp and even some scratches, vocal FX and mandolin.
 
Formats Supported Include:
 
• ACID/WAV
• AIFF/Apple Loops
• EXS24 Instruments
• HALion Instruments
• Kontakt Instruments
• Reason NN-XT Instruments
 
Please Note:
 
This VERY LARGE library has been compressed to segmented .RAR format for the download. After purchase you will download 15 separate RAR files, each being 500 MB in size, except part 15 which is 80 MB. 
 
After downloading all 15 files, make sure they are all in the same folder, then double click ONLY the first RAR file (...Part01.rar) and ALL of the RAR files will then expand automatically (all in a single operation) to produce one folder containing the whole library with all samples / all formats. 
 
Note that you must have a full version of Kontakt to use the Kontakt files within this sample library.

Amazing set of instruments and arrangements to use. Gives a good cross between throwback and also current sounds. You could pretty much produce a whole project just using this pack. Thank you.
