Available now – The Odyssey Collection: Essentials
On the depth of the library...
"The library has a little over 16,500 sounds, but it cuts much bigger than that. I'm finding gems all the time.”
-
"For the last couple months I've been pulling from Odyssey first to see if I can stump it. And that rarely happens.”
-
On recording quality...
"I couldn't be more excited about the way it sounds. It's definitely something that I'm adding to every project that I'm working in right now.”
-
"It feels like something that I would've gone out and recorded because I needed it. It fits in with the track without me having to do all this extra work to add presence. That's my favorite part about this library and the reason that I keep going back to it.”
-
"The transients are really well maintained. Everything is there. A lot of times, in older libraries, the transients are gone and everything has this soft sound, and it's all very isolated. With this, you don't get that...These sounds are gonna cut right through like a knife.”
-
On metadata and organization...
"One of the first things you notice is how clear and concise everything is named. The descriptions are super clear, and every little piece I might need to be able to find the sound I'm looking for is in there.”
