Reviews
"SoundIron's Digeridoos library presents a collection of deeply sampled and expertly programmed didgeridoos. Tempo-synced performances with additional FX and one-shots make it easy to implement these well-produced sounds in any context. The creative FX presets are a nice bonus and starting point for exploring didgeridoo sound design." - Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones, Westworld)
"I needed something unusual sounding that could also perfectly meld with my orchestral template. On a whim, I tried the new SoundIron Didgeridoo, I blended it with low woodwinds and it was exactly what I was looking for." - Cris Velasco (God Of War, Borderlands, Resident Evil)
"In addition to the realistic Didgeridoo instrument, playable as a keyboard in the ensemble setting, the REAL fun lies in the custom presets. They are immediately fun to play and easily add a lively grunge to the bass voice in any larger track. I love that it's now something I could use outside of a "travelogue" setting." - Jacob Yoffee (Best Shot, Andi Mack, Finding Carter, Ingress: The Animation)
"Didgeridoos is what I refer to as an "onion skin" library, on the surface it's an onion, but there are many layers to that onion! Didgeridoos does offer a rare palette of unique timbres, tones and rhythms that are not heard in your average everyday sample library." - KK Access
"The instrument offers the perfect range of authentic didgeridoo patches as well as modern evolved sounds so the composer can go either way or anywhere in between," - Serj Tankian (System of a Down, Soil, Axis of Justice)
