The acoustics, the flaws, the energy, and the collaboration - all of it contributes to the warm and organic feel of live recordings. One single element changes and everything shifts. Thanks to technology, you don’t need to rent studio space, hire musicians, a producer, and an engineer to use live instruments in your productions. With this sample pack, they’re right here at your fingertips. These sounds are for when processed sounds just don’t fit your vision; they’re for when you need that extra taste of realness.
