Rosette Mandolin – Sound on Sound
“The sound of the library is very pleasing…the more I used the library the more I felt I was learning how to write idiomatically for the instrument.”
“Rosette Mandolin provides a good sound that could have many applications, with versatile input options that cater to writing realistic mandolin lines, impossible 5+ note chords and everything in between.”
Thomas Field, September 2024
GameVerb – Thought-Forms
“This is a VST that offers you the ability to run the actual algorithms in real time, with easy access to the algorithms’ parameters via a few dials. The core thing to get across here is that this is not just a bunch of static impulse responses, this is a true emulation.”
“I think this thing’s pretty cool. As you can tell, I gravitate more toward the PSX reverb and delays in here, but you may find the SNES or N64 options more compelling. I think having three consoles to choose from gives this a lot of utility, and the fact that they put so much work into emulating the actual algorithms from these machines into a modern package is outstanding.”
GameVerb – SoundFontGuy
“Faithful, authentic recreation of all three reverb algorithms, all bundled into one very lightweight plugin. There’s a wealth of presets, many of which are taken from the games we love. There’s near-infinite customizability. Low system requirements – I actually ran a benchmark where I had 20 instances of GameVerb open and running at the same time and I barely broke 2 gigs of RAM. Additional functions like sample rate and bit-rate reductions to really push your music closer to the realm of authenticity. … ultimately, this is getting two thumbs up.”
GameVerb – Emlyn in the Mix
“It really does give that video game vibe. … This is sick. It’s actually so cool. I can’t believe you can just get the coding from actual games.”
“Man, I love this plugin. This is nostalgic vibes all ’round. How did they do this?”
“Kudos to Impact Soundworks for this freakin’ amazing and nostalgic sounding reverb plugin. Who knew you could have so much fun with a reverb plugin?”
Altera Keys – Andre Louis
“…you kind of really design your sound in weird ways…you can really get that kind of sample sound, if you want to…you’re gonna have fun with this library if you get it. Because it’s quite different from anything else I’ve owned before, quite good…great for games and stuff, this product.”
Altera Keys – Simeon Amburgey
“…some of the really fun things I like are the pads, some of the pads in here are so beautiful, because they kind of evolve and…expand…that’s one of the things that I think this is great for, is being able to stack all all these sounds together…if you’re looking for something that gives you all of those classic tines and key sounds, and throws in just so many fun…ways to manipulate things…”
Traveler Series: Bodhrans & Bones – Professionalcomposers.com
“If you want a true and authentic sound of traditional instruments, played on location by experienced players, in order to record the very root, heart and history of the sound the Traveler Series by Red Room Audio will feel like a blessing to you. I was actually very surprised by how much I enjoyed the Bodhran because of the power and control it gave me as a composer to control both the pitch and also to dampen the sound. This gave me ideas for making energy-rising rolls, crescendos, fills etc. for transitions.”
Traveler Series: Bodhrans & Bones – Rekkerd.org
“This isn’t the only frame drum sample library out there, but it is definitely one of the most comprehensive ones. With its pretty, intuitive interface and beautifully recorded instruments, the attention to detail and quality is apparent. The way you can change pitch and dampening of the bodhrans allows for truly realistic performances, and with such ease. The various types of drums and articulations offer a surprisingly wide palette of sounds.”

Traveler Series: Gypsy Fiddle – BenoniStudio
“This is not just for classical fiddle styles and you can really use this fiddle with any genre at all. Red Room Audio have really done a good job capturing the true feeling and sound of a fiddle, which is not easy to do.”
Traveler Series: Gypsy Fiddle – Sample Library Review
“The sampling and timbre is absolutely top notch. Every single nuance has been captured and you can get some outstanding results.”

Traveler Series: Celtic Fiddle – Professionalcomposers.com
“If you want a true and authentic sound of traditional instruments, played on location by experienced players, in order to record the very root, heart and history of the sound the Traveler Series by Red Room Audio will feel like a blessing to you. Both fiddles have amazing playability. I instantly started playing The Shire Theme from LOTR, The Braveheart Theme, and others that simply felt natural as soon as I started playing these instruments. That to me, is the ultimate test of a software instrument… does it inspire me to play, and does it feel natural to perform on? The answer is yes to both these questions.”

They sound amazing, playability is wonderful, and the workflow and design really sparked my inspiration.”
Sounds From Hell – Sample Library Review
“This isn’t just another toolkit – it brings something new to the table. This could be a hidden gem; a secret weapon. The level of inspiration you get from these sounds is huge. It makes you want to explore and compose. It’s indispensable. The value for money is absolutely amazing. Ideal for any cinematic, tv and game composer.”
