Sample Science Complete

Sample Science decided to take on the holiday shopping season with one of the best plug-in offerings available. Complete is just that, providing all of their sample packs in one purchase at the staggeringly low price of just $99. This means you get all 38 of their 64-bit plug-ins VST/3 and AU formats for both Windows and Mac systems. There are a few caveats, as for Mac systems they are only compatible with the High Sierra/Mojave OS, and for both they are not compatible with Pro Tools. Despite this it is an exceptional deal that is only available until January 1st.
Boom Library Cyber Weapons

Over 4500 royalty-free effects are included in the latest space-age sound set from Boom Library. It includes everything you would need to create futuristic sound design. This means lasers, explosions, alien noises, tools, machinery, motors, and thousands more. Samples can be layered and merged together to create new sounds altogether, and everything is searchable due to the expansiveness of the collection.
The amount of detail in this pack is outstanding. The 24-bit/96kHz samples will take up just under 8GB of hard drive space and work for both Windows and Mac systems. At $191.20 (for the bundle) it’s not cheap, but if you are in the market for a library like this there might not be a more sophisticated choice. You can also purchase the construction kit and sounds separately.

The first Free Piano plug-in was so popular RDGAudio decided to move forward with a second version that offers even more realistic sounds and an updated interface. All sounds were recorded on an Asian Type D Cottage piano across four different microphone positions. Over 600 samples, 400 articulations, and three velocity layers add a level of depth and realism that is not normally found in freeware. It comes in VST3 and AU formats working with both Windows and Mac.
