#EASTWEST QUANTUM LEAP RA MANUAL#

RA was a very expensive project, but well worth the cost. The sound of these ensembles cannot be realistically simulated by layering solo instruments.

This was done with African drums, bagpipes, gamelan and a Middle Eastern string section. Another cool aspect of this virtual instrument is the fact that we recorded ethnic ensembles. Mics used were Neumann U67 (U47s as alternates), Neuman M50, AKG C12 and Shoepps. It is this type of sound that takes to artificial or sampled reverb extremely well. RA was captured with a phase accurate 8-mic setup that gives a complete 3 dimensional image of the instrument. You will find RA has amazing sound quality. Los Angeles is so ethnically diverse and blessed with excellent institutions like Cal Arts, it is actually the ideal place to record a rare and ethnic collection. We spent time hunting down the best ethnic artists on the West Coast. The other ninety percent of RA was recorded at a top studio in Hollywood. RA was born a few years ago, as a sample library called 'Rare Instruments.' All of the sounds from Rare Instruments are included in RA, but this only represents approximately one-tenth of the content. RA is an appropriate name for the largest, and most comprehensive rare and ethnic virtual instrument ever made. The chief location of RA worship was Heliopolis (a Greek word meaning city of the sun). RA is usually represented with the body of a man and the head of a hawk, holding an ankh & sceptre.
