Overview

The sound starts with the gear.

Fab Four chases the sound of The Beatles at its source: the same kinds of period instruments and EMI studio equipment, set up as the band's sessions had them, with Beatles engineer Ken Scott co-engineering. The sessions ran through vintage Neumann, AKG, STC or Cole microphones onto a Studer J-37 tube four-track, and Wings alumni Denny Seiwell and Laurence Juber play on the library. It suits producers and screen composers who need that era's sound. Fab Four is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Beatles or Apple Corps.
