Cinema Sound Foley Library (or CSFL) allows you to easily create Hollywood-level immersive audio by "performing" foley via MIDI. This saves lots of time (and money) compared to recording your own foley or assembling audio piecemeal from multiple libraries. And as you'll see, the sheer depth & breadth of content in this collection compared to its price makes it a no-brainer.
Created in collaboration with Cinema Sound, the world's leading experts in film audio education, CSFL includes a massive library (54,000+ samples) of carefully categorized samples that can be performed, edited, layered, and mixed within Kontakt. No other tools required. It's also fully Kontakt Player and NKS compatible!
Let's take a look...
Sound Browser
Each patch of CSFL covers a broad range of sounds, like Female Footsteps (pictured above), Male Footsteps, Skin & Miscellaneous, Clothes, and Ancillary (which covers a huge range of 18,000+ bonus sounds in miscellaneous categories.)
You can quickly browse and audition sounds by category, surface, material (etc), which will help you quickly match foley to the action happening on screen. This multi-bank/layer setup lets you work within a single MIDI channel per category - again saving time and project setup.
Once you've selected the sound categories you want, an integrated editing setup lets you trim and adjust each sample. These tweaks are available on a per-sample basis. This way, you can get your foley sitting perfectly within a full mix all without using external tracks or plugins.
Integrated Mixing & Editing
And just like many of our recent releases, we've included the Console FX rack & mixer, so you can further sculpt and mix the sound with 30 included EQs, compressors, reverbs, delays, distortion units and much more.

Pricing & Availability
Cinema Sound Foley Library is available now for the introductory price of $179 (list $199). Its convenient, powerful tools will save you time in post-production, but we think this is also an unbeatable value compared to other foley libraries and how much (or how little) content they include!
