One of my favorite "go-to"libraries on a daily basis. The quality of the sounds and ease of using the interface make it perfect for an amateur like me. Can't wait to see what else they come up with!

Skybox sounds are definitely on another level. So realistic and authentic, original and beautiful, just can help but to keep on playing. You guys keep up the good work.
A little miffed here that the expansion that I purchased was subsequently given away to *new customers a week later? I know it was sold to me at a 80% discount, and yes, yes, I know I got all of the hammers & waves bundled for a discount. I am also aware of how the business model is basically supposed to work...but it makes me feel a little bit like I got punished for already owning all of the Hammers & Waves
Love Skybox audio, bought their whole package at the intro offer on release and found the piano Vst I had been looking for…and much more! I could write a whole song with just the sounds from their instruments. Now the expansions packs have put it on another level. Fantastic
One of the best products on the market!
Great sound. Great product. Very inspiring.
I purchased Hammers and Waves in hopes of geting an additional realistic virtual grand piano for live performance. Once I downloaded the instrument, it did not sound or respond as expected. I find the main grand piano patch to sound off in the distance, and not able to be used as a lead instrument. I made a mistake buying this software, and wish I could request my money back.
as far as I remember the ordering process was quite complicated also the authorization process the product itself sounded better on the demos I listened to (which made me buy it) then in real. there’s only one solid grand piano preset and too much processed presets which you probably never use. also the price is ambitioned and for this I expected more
Great piano sounds and more!
Great product! Staff was super helpful. Definitely recommend
Out of nowhere comes Skybox with these very well designed and powerful libraries with out-worldly gorgeous sounds. I'm also surprised at how tight the response of the engine is, I don't feel that slight lag time that we have to put up with a lot of sample instruments these days. Well done Skyboy, keep up the great work!
