The Free Ferrum is such a nifty little library. Crisp, clear and blends so well with other perc libraries.

Distortion (and saturation) is something that I am learning to use slowly and I am just blown away. It's so much more than just cranking up the gain and getting the tubes warm. Thank you for insight here.

It's a real great job. Bravo Alex. In fact you show that is not the money but the talent that makes the difference

[resonanceau]

Thanks for this. This is awesome. Been looking for quality percussion hits.

This really gave me the drive i needed to finish my unfinished tracks that i had left due to non availability of good resources. Thank You, Alex!!

[rene-pedersen-music]

It's amazing how much distortion can do, sounds great!

[Andrew_Reno]

This free short track sounds amazing! Great video! 😀

[chrismai]

Great, learned something useful. Thanks !

[FrankllyThallyson]

As someone who only uses free stuff, this high quality trailer sound surprised me a lot.
Thank you for making this video.

Great work man, much more impressive knowing this is all freebies.

[GreenHope]

Thanks. The free options available now are so great.

Great video Alex I love ProjectSam The Free Orchestra I think it is one of the best free sample libraries out there. It offers a lot of variety and really top quality sounds.

[sunnyschramm]

there is sooo much really good free stuff out there. If I would start today there would be no need to invest a lot of money for the beginning.

[Epicator]

Easily the best track I’ve heard made using free stuff 😁👍

[audiomixexpert]

That short piece of music totally reminds me of encountering Nemesis in the RE3 remake.

[neonangelhs]

Alex, I really enjoy your videos and I appreciate the amount of work and detail you put into them. I look forward to learning more from you!

[Clonley]

Amazing video and music, you are really talented man.

[achillesamusic]

I use all of these and especially Ferrum, thanks for the EQ tip !

[MattiasHolmgren]

Great video Alex. Thanks for the tip on Ferrum! Didn’t check that one out yet. 👌☀️

[ShadokoComposer]

Very useful! Indeed free tools can be powerful with production knowledge. You know how to enhance and sound design with additionnal verb, disto. Just compare 2:35 and 2:41 from the same freebie ! A great drum pattern and composition skill like the short string motif are also very important when you want to write music. Very well done

Great snippet Alex! Unbelievable this Ferrum Free Edition - just downloaded it, it comes just at the right time for me. Too bad that I now have to think of a different trailer music snippet, because my musical theme is just too similar to yours here! 😂 Anyway. Where there's a will, there's a way. Cheers Alex! 👍
