What are the quality differences between Standard, Pro, Premium, and Vintage?

Our rating system evaluates each sample library based on overall quality, production process, and audio sources. Here’s a breakdown of each classification:

• Standard: Primarily sourced from digital plugin instruments, but may include higher-quality sounds from analog or acoustic instruments. Standard samples are usually recorded, processed, and mixed within a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
• Pro: Primarily sourced from analog and acoustic instruments, with some plugin or computer-generated sounds. Pro samples are typically recorded, processed, and mixed using both DAWs and external analog equipment, such as outboard gear and analog summing mixers or consoles.
• Premium: The highest level of professional production, sourced purely from analog or acoustic instruments. Premium samples undergo quality control to ensure the highest fidelity, utilizing professional-grade dynamics, compressors, mic pres, effects, summing/bus mixers, and analog consoles for recording, processing, and mixing.
• Vintage: A specialized category inspired by older engineering techniques. Vintage samples are processed using techniques like tape recording, heavy compression, tube saturation, gain staging, small-speaker filter EQ, and high-level mastering. These recordings may include circuit or ambient noise, giving them warm, unique tones with analog-style distortion.
