8DIO
8Dio Community-driven ASMR Sound Design project
Free ASMR is 8Dio’s 4th community project:The community with the guidance and help pf 8Dio creates a large ASMR sample library. 8Dio will provide 50% of all the samples in the library and the community will provide the rest.
To join the team create 5 ASMR sounds and send them to 8Dio – and in return, you will receive the entire sample library for free. 8Dio will edit, program and design the entire library with user-interface and everything else.
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is the feeling you get from particular visual or aural stimuli, although it varies from person to person, it is generally triggered by soft, quiet sounds. The latest trends of ASMR videos are recorded to trigger this response, giving a feeling of relaxation and slight euphoria.
Here is a couple of examples from 8Dio ASMR experimental sessions.
The “Free ASMR” library will be the first large scale collaborative ASMR library of its kind, similar to 8Dio other community collaborations such as Free You, Free Angels & Free Radicals. It will feature a range of sounds submitted from the amazing 8Dio community as well as sounds from the 8Dio team. The sounds will then be curated, packaged and gifted as a full library to everyone that took part.
Sounds awesome! How do I get involved?
Visit the ASMR microsite from 8Dio to learn how to participate. Time to unpack my Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset to record some more sounds.

Solo Clarinet – Warm Studio Woodwinds – The Next Evolution of 8Dio’s Woodwind Ensembles
Warm Studio Woodwinds: Solo Clarinet
Warm Studio Woodwinds is the latest creation in 8Dio’s range of contemporary studio ensembles. It is derived from 8Dio’s Intimate Studio Woodwinds library. With over 160 hours of session material recorded at Scotland’s Premiere Recording Studio – Gorbals Sound, and countless more in post-production, Warm Studio Woodwinds continues 8Dio’s notion of a fully modular ensemble.
Unprecedented control over your sound
The sound of the Warm Studio Woodwinds Solo Clarinet is easily customizable with the wealth of options in the advanced user interface. You’ll have extreme control over the stereo image with individual volume, panning, output routing, and the new distance control, enabling you to freely blend between a direct signal and a more spacious and ambient microphone position.
Every articulation needed for your next composition
Warm Studio Woodwinds Solo Clarinet contains a vast collection of 26 articulations covering everything you need to create authentic-sounding woodwind melodies. Each articulation is sorted into four main categories making them all quickly and easily accessible from the inbuilt browser. Choose from articulations such as a Staccato, Staccatissimo, Sustains, Trills and Legato from the Traditional Category. Or choose more nuanced techniques such as Measured Tremolo and Tempo Sync’d phrase such as Tuplets and Triplets from 8Dio’s Performance category. Finally, the Arcs and Effects categories contain Dynamically layered Arcs of varying lengths and a range of effects such as directional Runs, Scoops, and Flutter Tonguing. The User interface allows you to load and unload the articulations of your choosing, so you only have to have to load the sounds you need for your project.
The Solo Clarinet soulfully blends into any mix
The Legato articulation is incredibly agile and can play almost anything you throw at it. We recorded each player in this series simultaneously so that each musician would be working with one another and adapt their playing styles and coloration to match the overall sound of the ensemble. Recording each player this way means that no matter your combination of instruments, the Warm Studio Woodwind instruments will fit with any ensemble and beautifully blend together. So whether you compose for an ensemble setting or virtuoso Solo Clarinet lines, Warm Studio Woodwinds Solo Clarinet will sound excellent in any setting.

8Dio’s Solo Violin & Solo Cello Designer $38 each (normally $198)
8Dio’s Solo Violin & Solo Cello Designer SALE
The Solo Designer instruments are a massive collection of thousands of real cello & violin phrases. The intention of the library was to sample completely realistic solo violin & solo cello by creating an incredible collection of musical phrases.
8Dio programmed the library in a way that gives you maximum control over the phrases and literally allows you to sculpt 100% realistic solo violin & solo cello performances. It was deliberately designed to support, augment, and in some cases replace existing solo violin libraries. Essentially this library takes over where normal multi-samples (ex. legato, sustains) can’t perform.
Solo Violin Designer
SOLO VIOLIN DESIGNER Virtual Instrument VST is a massive collection of over 4.000 phrases performed by renowned concert violinist: Thomas Yee. The intention of the library was to sample completely realistic solo violin by creating an incredible collection of musical phrases.

It was deliberately designed to support, augment and in some cases replace existing solo violin libraries. Essentially this library takes over where normal multi-samples (ex. legato, sustains) can’t perform.
SOLO VIOLIN DESIGNER comes with a variety of phrase sculpting tools, including pitch-control, time-stretching / time-compression, sample offset (which allows you to “scroll” into any phrase and trigger any part of it, FX and convolution reverbs. The pitch-control is not affected by tempo, so by controlling pitch, time-stretching/compression and sample offset you can essentially adapt the phrase to match the pitch and tempo of your composition.
