Soundiron

Soundiron is a company that develops and sells virtual musical instruments and audio software. Founded in 2008 by Drew Reynolds and David Row, Soundiron focuses on creating detailed and expressive sample-based instruments for music production and sound design. Their product catalog includes a wide range of sampled instruments, from orchestral and cinematic sounds to more experimental and unique textures.

The company is known for its meticulous sampling process, aiming to capture the full sonic character of the instruments they record. This often involves recording instruments in various articulations, with multiple velocity layers and microphone positions to provide users with extensive control over the sound. Soundiron's instruments are compatible with major digital audio workstations (DAWs) and often require a Native Instruments Kontakt sampler, though some are available as standalone plugins.

Soundiron's offerings cater to a diverse user base, including composers for film, television, and games, as well as producers and sound designers across various genres. Their approach emphasizes sonic realism and creative flexibility, allowing musicians to craft distinctive and immersive soundscapes. The company continues to release new products and updates, expanding its library of virtual instruments.
