“One of the best instruments we own,” J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League on Miroslav Philharmonik Chart-topping hip-hop producers and Grammy winners
J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League is smoking hot right now, with a 2007 Grammy under their belt, hits on the charts that debut at #1 and their videos in heavy rotation on MTV and BET, this Atlanta League is proving to be unstoppable! It seems like Colione, Rook and Barto just came up, but their accolades stretch back to 2005.
Here they speak about Miroslav Philharmonik and how it helped produce the no. 5 song in the US.
COLIONE: "It was about a year ago in the studio with our artist 2 pistols. Working on his demo. As I recall we had just got the Philharmonik and I was really impressed with it. We were going through some of the sounds and came across the illest choirs in the game. We created a melody that was undeniable and there you have it, the number 5 song in the country. 'She Got It' featuring T-Pain."

ROOK: "...We came to the conclusion that IK's quality is unmatched and as soon as we started using it, the hits came!
Maybach Music by Rick Ross featuring Jay-Z & Luxury Tax by Rick Ross featuring Lil' Wayne, Young Jeezy and Trick Daddy, these were both featured on Rick Ross' current album, which debut at #1 on Billboards charts, is currently certified Gold and on it's way to platinum.
The current video single (Here I Am) is backed with Maybach Music as the second half of the video and you can clearly hear the all of the strings immediately once the record begins. This video is currently heavily in rotation on MTV and BET and has been one of the top 5 videos on the 106 & Park Countdown for weeks."
What's in J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League music production arsenal?
COLIONE: "We use a very wide range of live strings guitars, woodwinds, flutes... We create our unique sound with logic pro and a large list of software instruments including Miroslav Philharmonik, SampleMoog, SampleTron, Sonik Synth and SampleTank. We have endless sounds."
ROOK: "What gets me the most is the virtual limitless range you have with every product. Every time we open it up, we find new things to play around with. Makes producing fun and fresh."
COLIONE: "The overall time and effort put in to the software (Miroslav Philharmonik) is incredible top of the line sounds. It gets no better, it's like having an entire orchestra at your fingertips. One of the best instruments we own."
ROOK: "Layering is a staple of our sound. It's also a necessity in sound design. We love the ability to 'stack' multiple instruments in one channel strip in Philharmonik."
COLIONE: "Layering sounds and FX is a big roll in the J.U.S.T.I.C.E League sound it keeps our production original. Adding your own touch to a preset or creating a preset from scratch is all apart of having a sound no one else has."
Final thoughts?
COLIONE: "Software instruments keep getting better and more realistic every year. It's definitely the future of music.
Take Rick Ross's Maybach Music, a track we produced for the Trilla Album for instance. There is not a sample in that track. It's all original. A lot of people think to get that live sound you need to use a sample maybe even hire an entire orchestra or its not going to happen. Maybach Music was created from software instruments including Philharmonik."
