Founder Timothy Swartz is a 20-year veteran producer of the E-mu Systems and Creative Technologies sound libraries. The successful Emulator and Proteus sound products were a result of numerous recording sessions, sound processing, and programming to achieve the ultimate musical results. Hit songs, movies, television shows, and advertisements have been created using these comprehensive sound libraries. E-mu pioneered sampling and, subsequently partnered with Creative, revolutionized the computer sample playback industry with its groundbreaking series of soundcards and ‘SoundFont’ content libraries.
Digital Sound Factory has an exclusive license to both re-format existing instrument libraries created for E-mu and Creative platforms, and to create brand new libraries from the wealth of recording sessions initially conducted by Tim that have never been released. DSF libraries provide the opportunity to experience and use these world-renown sounds regardless of your current computer platform.
Sampling Sessions Video - Video we shot during a few of our recording sessions to create the E-MU Virtuoso/DSF Studio Orchestra, DSF Acoustic Kits, and Planet Earth/Old World Instruments. We were focusing on capturing the best audio content possible. Unfortunately the quality is not very good, but we thought you may enjoy seeing a bit of what is involved recording sound content.
Home Page Studio Orchestra Demo Info - Exciting, modern, cutting edge, fresh describe this young, up and coming composer. Written and composed exclusively using Digital Sound Factory’s new Studio Orchestra, Kendall Johnson (KJM Studios) brings us ‘A Hero’s Journey’. His masterful use of instrumentation takes a journey through the sound stage demonstrating the diversity and character of this great library.
