19 November 2023
Producing inspiring sounds for composers, LABS plugins are created with sonic pioneers such as Hans Zimmer, and the world’s finest musicians and studios. LABS is a series of free software instruments that are presented by Spitfire Audio, and available in an easy-to-use, dedicated plug-in. The user interface is clutter-free and focused, and features simplified controls, sliders for expression and dynamics, and a knob that can be easily customised to the user’s personal workflow.
Performed and recorded by composer and producer Harpal Mudhar, these inspiring textures and plucks have been created using a vintage lap steel guitar run through beautiful delays and reverbs, taking the instrument beyond its traditional country and bluegrass leanings. With a sound fit for the widescreen, Lap Steel can be used alongside organic and electronic elements as an interesting alternative to the guitar.
