The Sample Magic philosophy

We DON'T:

  • Sell "join the dots" style construction kits. C'mon, where's the fun in that?!
  • Give you emulations and samples from virtual instruments – we always give you the real thing, played by top players and we believe it makes a difference.
  • Overcook our sounds, compressing the life out of them and overdoing the reverb - unless we're after a specific effect we keep it dry so you can do the creative stuff.

We DO give you:

  • Sample-accurate 24-bit files – always – so you're working with pristine quality from start to finish.
  • A variety of ready-encoded file types and formats, so you spend your time making music, not cutting and pasting samples.
  • Cutting edge sounds from foremost producers in the genre, so your production is up there and upfront with the best of them.
  • What YOU want - We listen to our users and respond to all emails and discuss all requests.
