Jason Graves

"I really love the multi-sampled organic patches - truly original sounds that inspire new ideas with a few notes. Seriously, though?you guys are making it WAY TOO EASY to sound like a synth programming maestro. Aeon is so tweakable and easy to make your own. And man, what a sound! I´ve never heard synths that sit so well in my mixes without touching a thing - full and fat without taking up too much space. I hate that it´s getting released to the public?can´t we keep this one between us?"

"Phenomenal sounds and instant accessibility are the two hallmarks of any Heavyocity product. As if they couldn't top themselves...gotta say this is the most epic and tweak-able Heavyocity release yet. Its already made its way into two of my current projects. GRAVITY is an epic twist on creative sound sources and rafter-shaking drama.?"

"I've got four Mac pros that are all networked together, and the irony is that as awful sounding and terrible looking as this room is it's actually my favorite room in the studio."

"So everything is networked together just on a cat6 connection and it all runs through Vienna Ensemble Pro which ... it literally changed my life. I'm able to use this as my main computer and these three farms have between 28-32 gigs of RAM in each one and they're stocked full of all the orchestra sounds that I've got and I can call them up at any point in time. I don't need to load and unload; they're all sitting there ready to go. I can switch cues. I've got one template that I use, one game to another, one style to another and these sounds just sit here all week long just waiting, which is really cool."

"Damage is everything a composer wishes for in a virtual instrument-outstanding sounds combined with instant gratification. Heavyocity has an incredibly high bar for quality and you can hear it in every preset . Plus, the ability to tweak and mangle to my heart's content in invaluable. Damage just became my go-to source for for cutting edge rhythmic sounds."
