You can’t have a top 10 list of sample libraries without Spitfire Audio and these guys really deserve all of the accolades they get. I hope to see more of this in the future by Sample Logic, it’s a real treat! 5. The energizer and polisher sliders serve the purpose of, well… energizing the sound by compressing it and adding some nice transient expansion to the initial hit. There are Taikos, Toms, Gran Casas, gongs, ethnic percussion and many others and they all sound amazing straight out of the box. The drums sound really punchy and very tight. Drum Fury is their latest cinematic percussion library with a very sleek and streamlined GUI and the library itself features 113 instruments with almost 11GB of samples. Sample Logic is a veteran at cinematic sample libraries with many popular products like Cinematic Guitars, and the best-selling Morphestra that has been featured on countless film and game scores. If you’re looking for some heavy-hitting cinematic percussion, look no further. The user interface is very sleek and you can easily find your way around it. It has already been endorsed by composers such as Junkie XL, Ramin Djawadi, Rupert Gregson-Williams, and others. The size of it reaches 43GBs on your hard drive. It features 72 big drum ensembles, 11 big solo instruments, 12 small drum ensembles, 13 big snare ensembles, 7 solo snare instruments, 27 types of anvils, big anvil ensembles 14 sub booms, 21 clock tickers, 4 impact menus and all of that ranging at roughly 6 velocity layers with 16 round robins per sample. Laboratory Audio are fairly new on the market and StrikeForce is their first and only sample library. If you own Audio Imperia’s Jaeger orchestral library, this is a great add-on because it was recorded on the same stage as Jaeger. Drum ensembles are featuring instruments such as Gran Casa, Kick Drum, Toms, snares, clack and clicks. It comes with 13GBs of samples and many a round robin per drum and also features a stacking engine to beef up your drum sounds.Ĭerberus comes with 7 mic positions for regular samples and 3 mix positions for processed samples and also comes with a set of tighter and more loose loops. It sounds a bit dry compared to others out there but that is because it is designed to be used for trailers and fast paced action cues. This is Audio Imperia’s second entry into the domain of percussion libraries and it’s a rather great entry. It is the first instrument in Heavyocity’s offer that features the notorious Punish knob for compressing and saturating your sound, giving you that extra bite and grit. It gives you 30GBs (16 GB compressed) of dramatic pounding drums, fusing industrial sounds and orchestral drums into a devastating artillery of percussion with well over 200 sound sources and 500 single-shot elements with up to seven velocity layers and up to nine round-robins per drum.ĭamage features traditional percussion, snares and toms, various assortments of metal and wooden objects with a rather unique and obscure collection of sounds like exploding cars, cranes, junkyard objects, dumpsters and large objects dropped from great heights. It’s a classic really and whenever I think about writing action cues my choice usually goes straight to Damage.
The guys from Heavyocity have come up with some of the most popular sample libraries out there and Damage is one such library. This one has been out there for quite some time and it’s a favorite among many A-list composers in Hollywood, including names such as James Newton Howard and Tom Holkenborg A.K.A.
