About ProjectSAM
Back in 2001 ProjectSAM was unsatisfied with the sound and articulations of the sample libraries available at that time and set out to record their own. Their first commercial library was an overnight success and introduced the now widely adopted multi-mic concert hall sampling setup. For the first time, users could choose between a close and an ambient mic for the same preset. Introducing and perfecting its ensemble recording concept with the Symphobia Series as well as their focus on realistic orchestral sequencing and effects, ProjectSAM products have added magic to an ever-growing list of blockbuster films, games, and hit songs.
