SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: Blown away. This things really makes you realize just how sucky and artificial sounding the rest of your string modules really were. And man, do I have a lot to choose from! Feature: I could probably tweak this baby to fit any need I'd have for it. Ease of Use: Really? No question. This is super easy to use. Quality: You won't find a string module better than this right now. If you want something better, hire players. Serious. Value: You either pay the union rates every time you need players or you pay this small (IMO for what you get) one time fee. You're choice. 10...out of 10. Manufacturer Support: Haven't used it yet. The Wow Factor: It looks official. I liken it to the look of the Waves line of plugs, or Auto-Tune. When you think of quality plugins for this or that need, certain ones comes to mind, images and all. This plug commands that through it's look, feel, and functionality. Overall: I'll be satisfied with this until they come out with the next version or somebody like EastWest outdoes them. This thing coupled with my IR-1 is effing killer. Yeah, I'll be using this for a while.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Overall: It is very orderly and formal, the sounds are a big step up. I had trouble with IK SampleTank, finding a decent piano out of around 40, when it looked hopeless opened Miroslav and found 5 great sounding Seinways. The other samples in Miroslav are good for beating around with like any other software instrument, not composing some big score. In short, I like Miroslav better than SampleTank.

Music Style: Urban and Int'l Music...
Back to Product Information
Sound: For the price range you can't beat the quality..these orchestral sounds are very smooth and silky, great for build ups and sustaining sounds...IMO, East West Silver sounds sharper than this, and not as high quality... Feature: There are enough features to keep most of us happy...serious tweakers I can't speak for...the octave switch is nice, as well as the included reverb, which is very high quality... Ease of Use: Definitely IK's biggest selling point...while not as advanced as other samplers (Kontakt, Halion, Giga), IK's whole product like (Sampletank, Sonik Synth and Miroslav) is just EASY to use...and that's worth alot in my book... Quality: Again, for the price range, you can't beat the quality... Value: Remember, it is a bit on the high end...the best deal would be for current IK product owners to crossgrade... Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed... The Wow Factor: A smooth orchestra with great instruments, choirs, a classical guitar, and nice effects - can't beat it...

Sound: Pretty damn good orchestra sounds... I like the strings and even some of the horns... Feature: Typical IK features - very useful and easy to work with. Quality: Most affordable way to get a complete orchestra's sounds. Although I have yet to figure out how to give the sounds power (a dramatic, heavy feel), I can definately see the potential. Value: Definately an expensive product, and I'm not sure if this sounds better than competing orchestras... Manufacturer Support: Haven't used.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
