If you’re a regular T+S blog reader or a visitor to some of the most popular music production forums, the chances are you’ve heard about the sample library that is currently as much in demand as Take That tour tickets were last Friday.

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

AnimatoZero-G’s latest sample library release ‘Animato: String & Flute FX for Cinema‘ has jumped straight to the top of the Time+Space Top 10 products shipped list and going by the positive feedback from users in the forums, and the current demand for cinematic libraries, it’s set to stick around for some time.

We wanted to find out more about the making of Animato so we invited Dan Graham, the producer of the library, to write a special ‘Guest Post’ for our blog. So, over to Dan… Read More
