Demos

This page contains info on ordering our high-quality WAV format demo CDR or you can download or play some short demo tracks. They highlight our post-production and engineering work, and will give you an idea both of what we can do to improve your recordings, as well as a few samples of the many, many kinds of sound processing we can do.

If you do not have a fast connection and would like to get a demo CDR to listen to, please contact us at info@sound-o-mat.com or send $3 (includes shipping in the U.S.) to:

Note: These samples are only MP3 format. The samples on the demo CDR available above are Windows WAV format in full-duplex 44.1kHz format. These MP3s are encoded at 44.1Khz, 192kbs constant bitrate using the Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer 3 encoder by Thompson Multimedia on the "Highest Quality" setting. Much better than FM radio but still only about half the quality of the WAV originals at best.

Wherever an effect is listed as custom that means that a default setting was used but was tweaked (rather heavily, usually) for the source material in mind. All custom effects used on these piano samples were designed for use on most (if not all) piano-based material.
