What people are saying about Short Wave
"The grittiness and beauty of Short Wave had me traveling through a musical landscape of sounds. I'll definitely be incorporating this library into my everyday music workflow!"

“I found Short Wave to be a really useful collection of sounds. It’s a great addition for anyone working on sonic world building, but it also includes some really hard-hitting samples that pack quite the punch.”
Credits: The Watchful Eye (composer), Emergency (composer), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (musical sound design), and Riverdale (additional music).
“Short Wave is a secret weapon tailored for injecting distinctive, heavily processed synth textures into any composition.”
