Review: Circles Modern Drama Scoring by Sample Factory & Big Fish Audio
What I like most about the entire collection is the variety within each kit. You can use the entire kit, as intended, or you can take certain elements from a kit to develop your own themes and underscores. By design, the collection never skews too far left or right of its target. It never gets […]
