MB Gordy Percussion – Boobams – Future Music
“In many respects this is a pretty simple instrument, but its usefulness has been expanded by providing ensemble options (where hits are layered, and triggered with variable timing between hits) and the extensive effects and processing options. These are nicely demonstrated with the provided snapshots that extend its range into more unusual distorted or reverberant territory.”
Bruce Aisher (Future Music 401)
Water Piano – Future Music
“This might just sound like a gimmick, but with a single control a pleasant-sounding piano is transformed into its more muted and odder alter-echo. The lower registers transform into something akin to a palm-muted piano, whilst higher keys continue to ring out in a more conventional way.”
“The real winner for me here is the Freeze parameter which adds an infinitely sustaining granular/reverb layer to the ‘straight’ samples. Even better is that it’s also controlled by the amp envelope and sustain pedal allowing you to create playable slabs of ‘frozen’ piano that cut off between each chord. More conventional reverb can be added, and further processing on top this takes place in the Console page.”
“Water Piano is fun and flexible but also high usable.”

MB Gordy Percussion – Boobams – Sample Library Review
“I’m loving the instrument. It’s melodic percussion, but it really does kinda take it out somewhere real special with the console and the fx chains you can use; the snapshots are really great. And of course, this is the first time this instrument’s been recorded, and it is a secret weapon.”

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.”
Traveler Series – 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. 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.”
-Pete Checkley (Sample Library Review)
Sounds From Beyond – William Morris Music
“I found a lot to really enjoy in this library. It feels really cohesive overall; you could play these sounds together and they’ll work really well. Although geared towards cinematic and sci-fi, there are definitely other genres you could use this in.”
Sounds From Beyond – KK-Access
“Sounds From Beyond is a welcome addition to the ‘Sounds From’ lineage. This new venture packs everything into a single library with around 1500 out of this world samples to provide possibly everything you need to score your next sci-fi fantasy related epic.”
-Chris Ankin (KK-Access)
Saga: Acoustic Trailer Percussion – Ask.Audio
“This is an amazing package and the price ($149) is a steal for what you’re getting. These are some of the best drum recordings I’ve heard in ages. Plus it’s useful even beyond the drums, as this is a perfect foley tool for video games and movies too.”
-G.W. Childs IV (Ask.Audio)
Saga: Acoustic Trailer Percussion – Epicomposer.com
“The release of SAGA Acoustic Trailer Percussion came as a nice surprise as the library features a remarkably punchy and powerful, yet very flexible sound that leaves room for custom processing if needed. The sound of the recording hall SAGA was recorded in is rather unobtrusive and doesn’t color the samples too much while still providing a nice sense of depth. SAGA’s neatly arranged interface allows for instant usability and presents every important feature at first sight. You can really feel the knowledge in sampling and user experience Red Room Audio founder Dickie Chapin has gathered through his long-standing work as a creative director at Impact Soundworks. This, together with the amazing performances of the sampled percussion players makes SAGA a top-line sample library in my opinion..”
Saga: Acoustic Trailer Percussion – StrongMocha
“At a first glance, “Saga Acoustic Trailer Percussion” might appear to be another slamming, crashing, pounding collection of trailer-tailored fluff. That is simply not the case here. What Saga really contains is a highly balanced collection of drums we’re familiar with, some we’re not, and a surprisingly flexible variety of industrial percussion that makes this package a work-horse that composers can and should, by all means, invest in with comfort. It’s rock solid. 5 out of 5 stars.”
-Cory Pelizzari (StrongMocha)
