 One
of the pitfalls of the digital revolution is that so many of
us use the same great sound libraries. What separates Precisionsound
from most is the focus on the gaps in between them. To date
they’ve collected an array of absolutely charming sounds,
be it acoustic or electronic that can give any given performance
that “je-ne-sais-quoi”.
The art of music making often involves finding sounds unfamiliar
to the context. I’ve used the “Autovari
64” in remixes. The “Moldova
Concert Cimbalom” makes a vibrant substitute for piano.
I just wish I ´d had it at hand when making Romanian style
gypsy music for a feature film recently.

 During
a recent recording session, I was called upon to find a pump
organ sound. I downloaded the Langegard
pump organ SampleSet from Precisionsound. The folks there
have created some exceptional samples!
The care they have taken in capturing the nuances will leave
the listener believing he or she is listening to the actual
instrument.
Further, their support team is quick to address any problems
a customer may have . Other sample and software companies
could take a lesson from Precisionsound in customer service.

 As
a composer and arranger for theater and picture, I’m in
constant need of articulate, detailed, sample sets that preserve
what’s unique about an instrument. Both the Swedish
Key Harp and Greek Lira
offer a sonic flavor that’s got character and spunk. I
reach for them when I need a signature string sound that feels
organic and human. They never disappoint. My clients appreciate
the world music color, and I value the accurate tuning and effortless
playability.
Five stars for both libraries! Chris Houston

 I
purchased "Stingers"
a week ago. I've already featured it heavily in the title music
of a sports show for "Sky", liberally in a house track
for a magazine show for "Channel 4", and subtlely
in an ethnic/orchestral score for a documentary for "Discovery".
It's an impressive and versatile set of samples and as far as
I know is the only collection of its kind, certainly of this
quality, on the market.

 The
sounds in this collection work great as leads as well
as drones for any kind of production. By alternating the
sustained and glissando-samples and using the staccatos
for trills, a composer can achieve amazing results.
The sample-set also includes some overblown staccato-samples
that add flavor and urgency to more action-oriented tracks.

 As
a programmer & musician, I always look for the unique
and different, my goal is to come up with a track that
doesn't sound like everything else. The pristine quality
and sound of the products Precisionsound delivers, gives
me as a demanding musician/programmer/producer the tools
I need to cut through in my work. I have bought most of
the libraries and I am very satisfied with them.

 Ever
since getting involved with sample libraries (from as
a user, to support, to working closely with developers)
I've been all over the place and have used samples from
many top developers and many smaller companies as well.
That said, Precisionsounds is one company I know that
I can trust to deliver high quality samples and great
support. They've never failed to impress me sonically,
nor have I ever been disappointed with their playability.
The samples are approachable for users of any skill level.
Just load the sounds and go. I own most of the Precisionsounds
products. It’s also important to me
(as someone who doesn't have a lot of expendable time)
that their products are available to me immediately.
I pay and download and I'm done. I needed a quality
mandolin a few months back and none of my current sample
sets contained one. So I went to the Precisionsounds
website, paid, and within minutes was using their “Kloo
Mandolin”.
My only regret so far is that I don't have
enough money to purchase everything they have available.
As it stands you won't find a better value for your
money on the Internet. They truly stand apart as a developer
and as a company that offers pay for download samples.
It’s unparalleled for the price.

"I
got interested in Precisionsound some time ago when I
started looking for non-traditional instruments to spice
up my tracks. Immediately I fell in love with their Swedish
Keyharp. To this day, this has to be on of
my favorite instruments. The Swedish Keyharp (as anyone
can hear from the demo on the Precisionsound site) is
in a league unto itself. I just love this instrument."

"Simply the best & warmest sampled Rhodes
I’ve tried. I’m very impressed."
Henrik Sethson - Composer |

"I
bought Dusty Electric Mk II,
because I needed a more realistic Rhodes sound than those
available in my trusty old Roland SR-JV 60s&70s expansion
board, and I needed it quickly for a semi-acoustic record
project. DEMKII seemed to be good value for money with
several velocity levels and note-off samples. Actually
it turned out to be even better than I had expected, having
all the things I want from a Rhodes: that beefy barking
sound with a lot Soul in it, and plenty of dynamics from
subtle ballads to funky action. It's very warm and dirty
all the way, just the way I like it. I don't want my Rhodes
to be sterile and 'hi-fi'. Instead, I want something to
inspire me, and Dusty Electric has plenty of that."

| "Monzter
delivers the best heavy guitar sound to date. It truly
creates a well balanced and powerful "smash"
that enriches the whole atmosphere of the song. Monzter
guitars narrow the gap between real guitars and
synthesizers, perfect for my metal synth project. Simply
outstanding."

"Composing
cinematic trailers and orchestral scores, I always wanted
to improve my music with some really heavy guitar chords
but nothing met my expectations. Monzter
guitars make this wish come true. No recording, compressing
or EQing required. Install it, play along and enjoy a
really powerful guitar sound. It's so simple but impressive!"
Boris "Toxeen" Nonte - Composer / Sound designer

| "I
love Monzter Guitars,
such a joy to play and with a pro-audio sound “right
out of the box”. They inspire me and are like
the missing puzzle bit. At last I can really have killer
power chords ready to play at the keyboard that actually
sounds like it should.
I want more of this, please…"
