"Beautifully recorded, there is a stunning range of instruments on offer. The big sounds are absolutely huge-powerful and punchy-and the smaller ones are suitably delicate and ethereal. Providing your system is up to it, you'll be creating scores that people will never know have been made not on a Hollywood soundstage, but on a computer." - MUSIC TECH

“SD2 is simply a must-have library for any serious musician working today. Whether you use the massive stacked sounds or build your own from the meticulously recorded elements SD2 provides, a composer can achieve anything from a majestic, percussive wall of sound to a violent, edgy hit or a gentle and subtly articulated rhythm. The MIDI files that accompany SD2 are incredibly flexible and fun to work with, without the limitations of an audio loop. The SD2 library is of the highest quality and I use it literally every day.”— Joel Goldsmith
