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.”

GameVerb – Happy Mag
“GameVerb captures the distinctive ambience of classic consoles, offering reverb modes inspired by the SNES, N64 and PlayStation. Each delivers its own space, from clean 16-bit reflections to lo-fi grit with nostalgic charm.
[T]he interface is straightforward, and Geek Mode opens extra parameters for precise tweaking. GameVerb is equal parts fun and functional, ideal for producers and sound designers who want character over realism. It delivers that unmistakable ambience of classic gaming without any fuss.”
Chro-Nyx – Composing Gloves
“It sounds awesome. It sounds really, really good. I am a big fan.
I love how the signal flow is given to you right here, so you can just reference it. That is so handy; just not having to go to a manual. But that’s just a little thing. The sound is what matters. And the sound is fantastic.
I’m not at a shortage for inspiration here, and it’s very easy to find what I want to do to change the sounds. Definitely worth some more deep dives into some of these additional settings, just so I’m more comfortable where things are at. But really, really nice sound.”

Shreddage 3 Fretless – Whipped Cream Sounds
“…[Fretless] is a meticulously modelled [sic] fretless bass VST that does what is says on the tin. But with realistic fretless emulations come the responsibility of managing velocity curves as a real bassist would…If you want a dedicated fretless bass that you’re willing to learn well to use across your projects, there’s nothing quite like the Shreddage 3 Fretless.”

Tokyo Scoring Drum Kits – Computer Music JP
“This is absolutely a first-choice drum library for songwriting and music production, as it strikes a great balance between functionality and easy, stress-free usability. Since MIDI loops are not included, knowing a bit about drum programming will make it even more appealing.”

Shreddage 3 Fretless – Synth & Software
“[Shreddage 3 Fretless] is among the few [fretless basses] that nails the appealing expressiveness of the fretless bass, while successfully avoiding the static, snapshot-like effect that often plagues these sounds…It’s particularly effective for ballads, but it’s fully capable of up-tempo notefests too…there’s plenty here to please just about any fretless bass fan…I recommend Impact Soundworks Shreddage 3 Fretless without reservation.”

Riffage: Metal – Sample Library Review
“Riffage: Metal is perfect when you need to just throw in some really quick, heavy phrases…lots of thought has gone into how us as composers can use this…it sounds brilliant, but it’s so usable…If you make metal music, like full band productions; if you use it in orchestral music, which generally I do, so big orchestral productions with guitars, this is absolutely perfect for you.”
Shreddage 3 Stratus – Producer Sphere
“With Shreddage 3, Impact Soundworks have smashed down the barriers that separate sonic reality and the virtual world…Shreddage 3 Stratus is undoubtedly one of the most powerful, inspiring electric guitar libraries we’ve ever used, from its endless customization options to the phenomenal quality of the sounds themselves…should definitely be on your radar.”
Ventus Winds Bansuri – Music Nation
“Out of the box, this is one of the most playable and expressive instruments we’ve tested – it just sings right out of the keyboard…This is a very versatile sound, one I think can be used in many styles. Though it’s traditionally an Indian instrument, it sounds right at home on most other tracks I played against…A great sounding and easy to play instrument that would be a frequently used tool in any producers sample library collection.”

Allura, Vol. 1 – Music Nation
“Allura is a wonderful showcase of Jillian Aversa’s sublime vocal timbre…Where Allura really shines for me is as part of a grand orchestral ensemble. With a good mix of well-chosen phrases supported by melodic singular lines, this library sounds absolutely phenomenal…Allura from Impact Soundworks is a fantastic sounding and simple instrument to use with a huge number of expertly performed and recorded samples [sic] phrases.”
Jacko Andrews (Music Nation)
Shreddage 3 Hydra – StrongMocha
“Obviously the library is going to appeal to those who like baritone and progressive metal, but you can use the guitar for other styles, like rock and jazz fusion…I could easily say this is one of the best 8-string guitar libraries available…it’s just a great all-around library, and it does what it’s supposed to.”
Cory Pelizzari (StrongMocha)
Charisma, Vol. 1 – Sample Library Review
“With beautiful phrases and instant cinematic vocals, Charisma is worthy of a place in any composer’s toolkit…absolutely love the high register…the core content behind these phrases, they’re so varied, they’re different, and they’re interesting…Charisma is a really, really, useful vocal instrument for all types of different scoring.”

Shreddage 3 Stratus Free – Producer Hive
“Once again, this boils down to Impact Soundworks’ impressive ability to capture the nuances of a live electric guitar performance…Having this much control over the sound of your guitar allows you to create an incredibly natural performance. If you’re looking for a way to incorporate electric guitars into your music inexpensively, this is a solid choice.”
