Ministry of Rock is a huge collection of rock
drums, basses, and guitars recorded in Eastwest Studio 2. This virtual
instrument collection is a modern day rock toolkit that covers myriad
styles. Songwriters, film, TV, and game composers as well as drummers
and guitarists will love this library. The sound quality is superior to
anything else available.
Ministry of Rock features sounds used
in today's music and the entire library was created with one goal in
mind: to create a virtual instrument capable of producing sounds that
could actually produce a hit record or film score without any live
drum, bass, or guitar overdubs. Articulations and programming was all
reverse engineered from actual performances.
