Features:

• Recorded at Air Studios via an impressive signal chain. 96 rarefied microphones, into Neve Montserrat pre-amps, the world's biggest Neve 88R desk (which was exhaustively re-gained at every dynamic layer for optimum signal quality), via a dual chain to HDX and Prism converters running at 192k. Well over 30 TB of raw material from these sessions alone
• The London Solos sessions features Frank Ricotti; the cream of Hans Zimmer's hand picked percussion corps playing a distillation of a decade's worth of musical experimentation and innovation. This is not an imitation of techniques explored in films including Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, The Dark Knight and Inception. It is a truthful recreation. This library perfectly blends with the ensembles volume (#1) but many users favour this volume for detailed cinematic percussion parts. Hans loves the quiet hits, so special detail has been afforded to the lower dynamics, for intriguing and engaging patterns full of life and humanity
• As proven in Volume 1 where you put the mic makes a huge difference to the sound, so this volume too consists of a number microphone positions (as detailed below) mixed in stereo by Grammy and Oscar winning composer/producer/engineers: Hans Zimmer, Alan Meyerson and Geoff Foster
• We have recorded the following drums and articulations each with up to 9 round robins and 6 dynamic layers per hit, at Air Studios through the finest microphones, the finest Neve pre-amps into the Neve 88R desk via prism AD converters at 196k 32 bit floating point (which we have SRC’d to 24bit 48k)
