Who cares about the royal nuptials when there's a bumper Samplecast to enjoy. This week's show is a buffet of sample library and plugin goodies with news, updates, bargains, freebies, unknown gems and a review of "AizerX Trailer Toolkits" from Keepforest. There's also a neat tip at the end of...
Wouldn't it be nice if the British weather was a bit more predictable? Despite being the first day of spring, the UK has been plunged into sub-zero temperatures this week. As is customary with more than a dusting of snow, the transport system then ground to halt. As a result I missed Spitfire's...
Zzzzzz... I'm basically asleep thanks to working on a huge number of projects over the last few days, but it was great to take a "break" and put this week's Samplecast together.
It's another packed show with some big releases from Sonokinetic, Spitfire, Output and UVI. Despite trying out all...
This week's show seems to be all about ethnic libraries as there are loads of different ones released this week. From Sample Logic's Expeditions to Rast Sound's Sounds of Morocco, here are loads of options for scoring the world. Hopefully I'll be able to help you sort the good from the bad.

Grrrr,
I'm absolutely fuming this week as literally a few minutes after I decided to release the show, EastWest decided to delay their release of Hollywood Choirs by a week due to some last-second bug fixing... so just ignore that bit of the show. Apart from that screw up, there's still lots to...

Hey Controllers,
As creator of The Samplecast I get a hell of a lot of sample libraries and plugins thrown at me and they all have marketing blurb which shouts that they're the "next big thing" or "groundbreaking". I always hesitate when phrases like that are thrown around.
A fortnight ago I...
Greetings lovely VI people,
Firstly a huge thank you to everyone that's supported the show over the last season, and indeed during the last couple of years. To all the composers, contributors and everyone who gives me feedback... I really couldn't do it without you.
There'll be a short hiatus...

Hey there Controllers,
This week's show is small but perfectly formed. The highlights for me are the excellent free libraries from Best Service, iZotope and Eventide. There are also some great bargains to be had - especially for people who need trailer and hybrid scoring sounds. Enjoy...
Hello Controllers...
I've been sitting on a secret since May and this week I can finally reveal it - phew! Thanks to Toontrack I was invited to a special preview event a few months ago to hear Superior Drummer 3 in action. Since then I've been sworn to secrecy but in this week's show I can...

Hey Controllers... I've been in the hospital this week but through all the blood and drama I've managed to put together a packed Samplecast show for your viewing pleasure - albeit a bit late - sorry.
We've managed to twist the arm of composer Sid De La Cruz who has worked with Trevor Morris &...
In the UK it's finally starting to warm up, making my studio extremely "cosy". Through all the dripping sweat, I've still managed to put together a packed show this week, including news, updates, previews and bargains. There are also 4 amazing freebies that I recommend checking out. This week's...
Back to normality this week with a typically busy Samplecast show. I thought it was about time that I brought back the "tips and tricks" section of the show as it's been absent for a while. This week learn how to create evolving soundscapes from pretty much any sound source and a bare minimum of...
Don't you just hate it when sites run promotions for new subscribers but give nothing to their existing loyal fanbase... that sucks, right?
Here at The Samplecast we think that blows, so this week's giveaway has TWO prizes - one for new newsletter subscribers and one for existing ones. The...
