There is no better set of virtual instruments on the market to help nail that sweet vintage tone and vibe we all know and love. Now you can have all seven best-selling instruments at an all-time low price!
VINTAGE STRINGS 2
Vintage Strings 2 from Funk/Soul Productions and Big Fish Audio is a sequel to the best-selling library Vintage Strings. Back when we recorded the original library, we designed it to emulate the smaller, violin-based string sections used in many 1960s-70s vintage R&B and Soul productions. Now, the all-new Vintage Strings 2 expands on this concept with completely new samples of the larger string sections of that same era which include violas and cellos in addition to the violins. These strings found in vintage R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Pop productions have a more intimate sound than typical orchestral string sections. Vintage Strings 2 brings the authentically lush string sounds of the golden era of popular music to hobbyists and professionals alike.
The most powerful feature of Vintage Strings 2 is the Harmonize function. You can create custom chord intervals for your sections. For example, change the root note to a 5th an octave up with twist of a knob. This allows you to easily write inspiring section parts, even with limited musical knowledge. With Vintage Strings 2 this feature is even more powerful, giving you the same creative flexibility over the multi patches as well! This is the quickest and easiest way to sound like your favorite classic records.
VINTAGE COUNTRY
Vintage Country is a unique collection of 20 sampled instruments designed to emulate the sound of vintage 1950s-1960s country western music. You’ll find the type of acoustic and electric instruments used to produce the songs sung by artists like Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Merle Travis, Kitty Wells, Waylon Jennings, Ferlin Husky, and many more.
Vintage Country does not include the pristine instrument sounds that can be heard in most types of modern country music. Instead, we sampled older instruments from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. These instruments are anything but pristine. Instead, these are organic-sounding samples loaded with character and just a bit of dirt and grit. Vintage Country showcases the retro instrument sound that characterized country western music in the 50s and 60s and is still just as relevant today.
VINTAGE BIG BAND
Funk/Soul Productions and Big Fish Audio are proud to present Vintage Big Band, a massive collection of sampled instruments designed for writers, arrangers, and producers of Big Band and small combo Jazz.
Vintage Big Band features over 75 instruments designed and performed to emulate the playing styles of Jazz musicians from the 1930s to the 1970s. This library captures the sound of Jazz greats such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Buddy Rich, Stan Kenton, and Mel Lewis.
VINTAGE HORNS 2
Vintage Horns 2 is a collection of virtual instruments specifically designed to emulate the sound of horn players from the 60s and 70s, including such classic styles as Vintage Funk & Soul, Cool Jazz, Roadhouse R&B and Rock 'n' Roll, 60s Pop Rock, Vintage Film Noir, and Soul Jazz.
Like its best-selling predecessor, Vintage Horns, Vintage Horns 2 was not designed to be a perfect, pristine-sounding virtual instrument. Instead, our goal was to create a collection of brass and woodwind instruments that captured the character of horn players from the 60s and 70s, including the quirks and minor imperfections that made them sound so good.
Vintage Horns 2 is not just a re-make of Vintage Horns, it is a completely different library that includes complimentary instruments to its predecessor.
VINTAGE HORNS
Vintage Horns is a horn section virtual instrument that gives you every instrument you need to emulate the classic horn section sounds of R&B, Soul, and Funk bands from the '60s and '70s.
As with its sister product, Vintage VI, the goal for Vintage Horns was not to create a shiny, perfect-sounding virtual instrument. Instead, we tried to capture the way horn sections sounded back in the 60s and 70s, including the minor imperfections that added character to those sections and made them sound so good.
VINTAGE STRINGS
Vintage Strings is a virtual instrument designed to emulate the classic violin string section sounds of R&B, Soul, and Funk records from the 1960's and 1970's. Whether you're an experienced arranger or casual producer, Vintage Strings was designed to make it quick and easy for you to create great sounding string tracks for your productions. Like its sister product, <a href="/Vintage-Horns"><u>Vintage Horns</u></a>, Vintage Strings was not designed to be a shiny, perfect sounding virtual instrument. Instead, we tried to capture the way string sections sounded back in the '60s and '70s; including the decidedly not classical playing style and minor imperfections that added character to those sections and made them sound so good.
For Vintage Strings we recorded a 6 piece violin section using vintage Neuman U-87 mics and Royer ribbon mics run through a great sounding SSL board. To capture a true vintage string sound, we used close mics, room mics, and string section positioning based on actual session notes from old Motown and Philly Soul recording sessions. Rather than record the violins in a magnificent concert hall or some other large and resonant recording space, we recorded our players in a funky old studio with a smaller, less-reverberant room that had characteristics similar to the rooms used to record classic Soul and R&B records. Using the tracks we recorded in this space, we then created three types of sections:
VINTAGE RHYTHM SECTION
Vintage Rhythm Section is a virtual instrument designed to emulate the classic rhythm section sounds of R&B, Soul, Funk, Jazz, and Rock records from the 1960's and 1970's.
Vintage Rhythm Section is easy to use, with a simple interface that lets you work quickly and intuitively. If you're producing retro or indie-style music on a budget, or if you're a TV or film composer working on a tight deadline, VRS can be used to create live-sounding drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, and percussion tracks.
VINTAGE VOCALS
Vintage Vocals is a virtual instrument designed to emulate the sound of the great female background singers who performed on so many classic vintage Funk, Soul, R&B, and Rock 'n' Roll records from the 1960s and 1970s. These talented women sang background for such artists like Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas, Patty LaBelle, Donna Summers, Ike & Tina Turner, the Rolling Stones, Lou Reed, David Bowie, and many more.
Vintage Vocals is an affordable, easy-to-use VI designed with a singular focus: to provide composers and producers with a set of the most commonly-used R&B background vocal-sounds and articulations - sung with a “live” feel and a whole lot of authentic vintage Soul.
