I saw this posted this morning and I figured I'd share it. This is a pretty big library for a freebie and it sounds lovely. It has a lot of beautiful ambient textures and is certainly worth downloading. It's free until the first of the year.

oooh, that sounds awesome!

I feel like I've missed out on any other freebie / discounted music deals this year... But all the same, it's good to find some quality sample-sets like this!

EDIT:

some interesting sounds in here, though many of them I don't see much use (the whole fingernail set, for example), but there are some good sounds. The Impulse set is interesting too, though then again, not sure the use of outside of some... ambient crash noises? The bulbul drone noises are pretty nice though.

Not shabby for a free pack. Reminds me of the amalgamations that Tonehammer used to put out... Wait, did 8dio form from the remains of Tonehammer? I know they merged with someone, but I can't remember...

This is a great way to introduce new customer I think. Awesome sales and bundles are good ways too ;)

EDIT: I made a quick song with most of the samples http://tindeck.com/listen/jzjp

I am pretty sure Tonehammer merged. I recognize some of the sounds they sell and give (namely the bee freebie) on 8dio.

Quite the opposite: They divorced.

Mike Peasley and Troels Folmann parted ways to create two independent companies: 8dio and SoundIron.

They split the products between the two of them.

Ahh, thanks for clearing that up dannthr.
