EastWest Ministry of Rock 2

Guitar, Bass, and Acoustic Drum Kit Virtual Instruments


As Close as You'll Get to Tracking Live

Ministry Of Rock 2 was put together 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.

To put a raging collection of guitars, drums and basses in your hands without the limits of location or budget.

To give you the power to track an entire rock band with impeccable authenticity, all within your DAW.


Legendary Gear and Performers

Recorded at the legendary EastWest Studios, Ministry Of Rock 2 features some of the industry's top players like Shane Gibson (guitarist with Korn), Greg Suran (guitarist with the B-52s, Goo Goo Dolls), Doug Rappaport (guitarist with Edgar Winter), and Tal Bergman (drummer with Billy Idol, LL Cool J, Rod Stewart).

The drums were captured with vintage and modern gear from Neve, Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, Manley, Fairchild, Royer, Chandler and Meitner.

Repetition samples were recorded for everything as well as extreme dynamics and three mic positions for drums (close + room, or close + compressed room) to dial in the desired sound and an ultra-realistic performance.

Any drum from any kit can be selected to create a new custom kit, plus there are 6 additional snare drums to choose from.

Guitars

A collective powerhouse of rock, metal and grunge, every one of these guitars was hand-picked for historical relevance, attitude, and a general ability to skillfully handle technical performances.


Basses

Every single one of these has a unique attitude and placement in the annals of bass ministry. Some of the basses in this collection have been decommissioned and are nearly impossible to obtain today!


Drums

Recorded with a wide variety of velocity layers, you can play back every ounce of attitude as the professional drummers who were recorded to bring this drum collection to life. The result is a high-energy but honest sound that rivals a professional live performance.

The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.


iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration


iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home


iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.


iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.


iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).

This crossgrade is for owners of a competing DAW. To prove your DAW ownership, we require that you upload proof in the form of an image/PDF.
