We are really excited to release PREPARATO Double Bass, the second chapter of the Preparato Series.

Flavio and Filippo, the minds behind this project, followed the idea of searching, new sounds from the most interesting acoustic sources. This is why Preparato Double Bass comes with 24 unique preparations, recorded in Rocchi Scoring Stage in Rome, using only top-eng gear.

PREPARATO is not just an inspiring library; thanks to the new version of the “Acoustic Modular Instrument” engine based on a multi-layering system, PREPARATO allows you to have an incredible control over the acoustic source, with endless possibilities of combination, useful in all kind of music.

The use of both acoustic sampling and creative modular software bring to PREPARATO the feel and power of a real synth, designed to meet the endless intricacies of a musician’s mind.

THE POWER OF A SYNTH,
IN A DOUBLE BASS LIBRARY.

THE RECORDING

We recorded the library in the Rocchi 110mq scoring stage in Rome at 96khz, using only top-end gear, including tube and ribbon microphones for a deep and warm sound. The library provides four microphone settings:

CLOSE, MIDDLE, ROOM, MIX.

We recorded the double bass with up to 4 round robin and multiple dynamic layers.

We recorded an italian handcrafted 4/4 Double Bass, equipped with Pirastro Strings and played with a signed bow made of pernanbuco.
