Hans Zimmer Percussion : HZ01 : Behind The Scenes

November 4, 2013 by John Black

Spitfire Audio have released a YouTube Featurette for their upcoming Hans Zimmer Percussion library. Recorded at Air Studios via an unsurpassable 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. Over 30TB of raw data from these sessions alone.

The London Ensembles sessions feature 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 his numerous multi-billion dollar blockbuster back catalogue. It is a truthful recreation.

Each instrument has been mixed by a selection of long-serving Zimmer collabrators a selection of Grammy winning engineers for their own “take” on the Hans Zimmer experience, including Junkie XL, Geoff Foster, Alan Meyerson, Steve Lipson and Hans himself. Price TBC, Release date : November 2013.
