Auddict have released Dark Academia, a collection of instruments, available at the intro price of $140.00, increasing to $250.00 after the promotion.
Dark Academia is a complete composer’s symphony of tools. Featuring a diverse ensemble, including a detailed solo cello, lush string orchestra, captivating solo soprano, expressive felt piano, dynamic drums, versatile synths, and more.
The library boasts an expansive size, totalling over 27GB of content. Complete with solo instruments, ensembles, a vocalist, tuned and untuned percussion, synths, SFX, it’s an ultimate standalone-collection of instruments.
The library takes realism to new heights with an impressive level of Round-Robin (RR) variations. Short articulations, percussion and other relevant instruments boast 7RR variations PER dynamic layer for ultra realism.
The cello instrument included with Dark Academia truly stands on its own two feet as a valuable and flexible instrument. The legato sound is fluid and natural, the three mic positions allow you to adjust your sound to taste, and the shorts boast up to 5 dynamic layers at 7RR, with three dynamics for the sustains/legato.
Multiple microphone positions provide flexibility in sound shaping, allowing composers to adjust the spatial characteristics and blend the instruments to their preference.
The Felt Piano really is one of the gems of this library. Auddict carefully treated a beautiful instrument and captured this extremely emotional sound, where ever detail in the attack of the hammer on felted mechanism is heard. This is one you have to hear to understand. It cannot be expressed in words.
The library offers a comprehensive selection of cinematic sound effects and professionally designed synth patches. These meticulously designed elements add depth, texture, and versatility to compositions, empowering composers to create captivating soundtracks with cinematic impact and a wide sonic range.
No Dark Academia library is complete without strings, so we decided to include a large, thick and powerful string ensemble which is easily programmed across a full keyboard range. Not too much to think about – just open it and start playing and writing. It’s intuitive, easy, and sounds absolutely gobsmacking.
Auddict have included a number of specialist instruments with this library, from a large cathedral pipe organ to a harpsichord, which has such well recorded and programmed release samples that the sound is uncannily similar to a real recording.
