What we recorded
We made use of some really rare and vintage but also modern and unique analog devices such as the Ampex AG-440 analog tape recorder from 1969, the NED Synclavier, Yamaha CS-60, Rhodes Chroma, E-Mu Emulator II, – just to mention a few of them.
Here are some of the devices we recorded to design the unique sound we had in mind.





























What's so special about this sound FX library?

For AWAY: The Survival Series (VR game) and Custom Trailer Music Productions I used the Cinematic Darkness, Cinematic Hits and Cinematic Trailers libraries. The sheer diversity and constancy across this whole line of samples is astounding. I love that I can audition any number of sounds against my productions to find just the right timbral match for any given situation. From earth shattering hits, immense yet fragile booms, transitions and more, there’s an added dimension that the BOOM libraries bring to my music.
The samples sound amazing. You guys did a fantastic job recording / mixing these.
