AizerX – Trailer SFX Designer Toolkit

by KeepForest Review

AIZERX – TRAILER SFX DESIGNER TOOLKIT equips the composer who is submitting for trailer composition jobs on a regular base, and it generates revenue in the “composing for a trailer” or games business.

The typical business model for the composer is that you pitch your services. Be awarded the business and then you need to produce quick results. For the next trailer job, you should get on average 5k as your payment against your time spend and resources used. You need to have that in mind when you look into purchasing this library. The AizerX Trailer SFX Designer Toolkit library is aiming for those composers who are expected to turn around a new score for a trailer within days, rarely weeks.

KeepForest was born out of friendship, built around of Arseni Khodzin (composer & sound designer) and Evgeny Emelyanov (composer & programmer). Their mission is creating audio tools for contemporary composers and sound designers. KeepForest did send a review copy of both libraries with no strings attached.
