It doesn't seem like five minutes since I put the last show together and yet here's another one. 7 days roll around quickly at my age. The highlight of this week's show is undoubtedly Superior Drummer 3 by Toontrack. Back in May I was invited to Belgium to audition this updated and expanded drum suite and it really blew me away. I've been experimenting with it for a few months now and I give my verdict in this week's big review.

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...

This week's show is all about choirs and pianos. There's a big review of Fluffy Audio's new Dominus choir and lots of odd little piano libraries. I've also managed to pin down composer Matt Hawken who exposes his secrets for writing Studio Ghibli style tracks - that's on the podcast. Of course, there's the usual news, freebies and bargains too. Enjoy the show!

It's been a hectic week for me but I've somehow managed to pump out another Samplecast. This week the main review is SoundYeti Collision FX - there's also loads of news, bargains, freebies, updates and unknown gems. Grab the podcast for the extended show with more chat and audio examples.

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. Here's this week's show:

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 enjoy in this week's episode, including news, bargains, freebies and updates.

It's great to be back after the madness of black friday. If you missed the blog post on my favourite deals you can find it here (and most of the bargains are still live). Let me know what you think of The Samplecast as it's great to hear from everyone who watches and listens. Enjoy the show!
