Armin van Buuren
Armin van Buuren | GaiaAbout Sample Libraries & Sound Sets:
Many people ask me where I get inspiration from for new tunes and usually it's just sounds. A nice or new sound can inspire me to start making a whole new track.Freshly Squeezed Samples is a perfectly good place to start if you’ve run out of ideas or if you're just looking for instant inspiration for a new track.
They can show you the true possibilities of your plugins and create a place to start.
About Sean Tyas & Darren Porter Sylenth1 Essentials Volume 1:
Don't ask me why, but I currently own more than 400 Sylenth1 soundbanks full of patches. Most of the time, I start from scratch and create my own sounds but sometimes you're just in need for some extra inspiration.
It can be frustrating to start browsing through a bank of presets, only to find out it has only 8 presets and none of ‘em spark any inspiration.
Sean & Darren did none of that. 128 patches that all spark instant inspiration, showcasing why Sylenth1 is still one of dance music’s most used synths out there.
I love the plucks (try VERB Forever), leads and pads but my favorites were the ARPs and Sequences.
If you make modern day dance music (and not only trance) this bank is a must! -

Super8 & TabIf you aren’t familiar with the Freshly Squeezed Samples yet we highly recommend you check out their stuff! We just purchased a couple of new Sylenth1 sound sets and a few sample packs and it was unbelievable how productive our studio session was today. Simply outstanding quality!
We´ve been using loads of sounds from Temple One Massive Essentials Volume 1 in our latest productions, it has turned Massive into our workhorse synthesiser!

Kanye West | Jay-Z | Pet Shop Boy | John LegendI like to work quickly and efficiently when trying to get new ideas and sounds. The Freshly Squeezed sound sets get me in the ball-park fast and making music quickly.
The Zebra sounds are top notch, and combined with the customizable power of Zebra you can get exactly what you’re looking for in a matter of seconds!

Ilan Bluestone
Ilan BluestoneSimply put, Freshly Squeezed Samples provide the best synth sounds on the market! There are loads of presets out there on the web (free or paid) but none of them beat the high quality standard that Freshly Squeezed Samples constantly deliver, including awesome customer support and great website which cover all most electronic genres!
I would highly recommend Freshly Squeezed Samples to anyone who loves fat warm sounds where you can hear the true dedication behind them.

Mark Sherry
Mark SherryOne thing you can always count on with the sound sets that come from the Freshly Squeezed team is absolute 100% quality! 90% of these sound design & sample stores that are in abundance these days all sell over-priced and pathetic sounding bundles! You can pay the likes of £15-30 for a badly produced 30-50 patch bank...or a £20 sample bundle that only has 10 kicks, 20 loops, 10 FX and the worst vocals you've ever heard in your life! It's different with Freshly Squeezed Samples...you do pay a little bit extra but in return you get the very best sounding synths, basses, pads, plucks and FX across their full range, whether it's banks for Sylenth1, Massive, Zebra or Spire.
The sounds are truly inspiring when you are working hard in the studio and these lush sounds find their way into EVERY single one of my productions...I literally can’t recommend them enough!!

Steve Helstrip
The ThrillseekersI’m a massive fan of Freshly Squeezed Samples! They pretty much made U-He Zebra my ‘go to’ synth with their 2 libraries, and turned me onto Massive with their Essential Collection. These 3 banks alone give me all the starting points I need for the trance I produce, and feature all over my latest tracks. My only problem with the Massive bank is that it’s a bit, well, massive! With so many sounds, it’s easy to get lost! I am eagerly awaiting Zebra Essential Collection Volume 3. I’m hooked!
Stunning library. Congrats to all involved. I'm still bouncing around the studio with excitement!

Thomas GoldZebra Essential Collection Volume 1
Amazing collection of presets, loads of super-phat, usable sounds. Perfect for any kind of electronic dance music genre, this is really all you need for an up-to-date production. Many of the sounds went into my tracks directly, I use the whole library a lot and it's pure fun to step through the list.
The variety is more than comprehensive; all sorts of sounds are covered in many ways. Especially the basses and lead sections are quite impressive. Top quality work!
Zebra Essential Collection Volume 2Same extra high quality as Zebra Essential Collection Volume 1 with a more trance based approach. The collection perfectly completes Volume 1 and again, there is so much stuff in there, it's just a pleasure surfing through the presets! All sounds are perfectly crafted and can go into a track directly. But I had real fun when I started tweaking them… Again all thumbs up - must have collection!

Mark Eteson
Mark EtesonThe Massive Essential Collection Volume 1, is without a doubt the best sound set I've ever bought, not only from Freshly Squeezed Samples, but from any website!
An incredibly diverse and eclectic selection of sounds, the range is perfect for so many different genres which is absolute testament to Benno's extensive experience in production and sound design, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the best-selling product on the website and for bloody good reason!

Levente Márton
Sunny LaxMassive Essential Collection Volume 1 is the biggest and best sound set I have ever used.
It's crazy, but I am using this sound set it in every single production since it was released and I don't use any other sound sets for Massive. With over 880+ presets I feel like I own literally EVERYTHING in the trance/progressive genres. Every single sound gives instant inspiration, it’s like a magic charm I just can't go wrong with it. The quality of the presets is equally incredible with the detailed macro options, so it's not like 880 presets, but twice as many or more!
I used a lot of sound sets already for many synths, but this is just the best sound set for one of the best plugins, no doubt.

Bjorn Akesson
Bjorn AkessonV-Station has always been essential in my productions, and after using the K-Station and V-Station for more than 6 years I thought I had seen its full potential. However the V-Station Definitive Collection proved me wrong and showed me that the machine can actually do even more. The V-Station Definitive Collection will definitely make me use V-Station more often. Ripping basses, raw synth leads and deep plucks perfect for trance production. The sound bank contains all the synth presets you need to make a professional sounding track.
I have already been familiar with Freshly Squeezed Samples since they created an awesome sound bank for my favourite VSTi, V-Station.
I have not been a Sylenth1 user for very long and when I tried their sound bank I was more than amazed. The bank offers cutting-edge leads and thumping bass lines for trance music. The sounds created have been a big inspiration for my upcoming work and I can't wait to try more of these sounds in my productions. The price is more than affordable for what it offers as well!

Ryan FarishThe sound sets I have bought from Freshly Squeezed Samples are some of the best third-party sounds I have ever purchased. My search for quality, fresh and inspiring sounds, ended with them. In addition to great products, they also have fast and friendly customer support. I will be keeping up with their new products and sound sets in the future.

John Kunkel
The New DivisionHands down, the best sound set I’ve ever come across. I’ve purchased several dozen sound sets over the years, and not only did the Massive Essential Collection Volume 1 exceed all of my expectations, it has literally set a new industry standard for sound sets across the board. Anyone who’s serious about their craft needs to own this product. It will dramatically enhance your workflow and production.

Allen WattsI really, really love Freshly Squeezed Samples! I have the Zebra, Massive and Sylenth1 sound sets and use them a lot in my own tracks, they are not only inspiring but also essential to my productions.
I also own and love the Activa Trance Essentials and Thrillseekers Studio Essentials Volume 1 sample packs, pure quality. Highly recommend!

ReOrderFreshly Squeezed Samples changed my productions entirely since the release of Zebra Essential Collection Volume 1 & 2. They reminded me how great this VST truly is and once I began using these sound banks in my own productions, my singles began to show up in the BeatPort Top 10 chart!
Nothing compares to the quality Freshly Squeezed Samples constantly deliver.

AirbaseSome say presets are just lazy shortcuts, and they are dead wrong. To me, presets are the biggest source of inspiration on any track I work with. As is, or tweaked, it's the fastest way to materialize ideas or to inspire my next big project.
The market is flooded with sound sets of questionable quality, but I've found my safe haven in the extremely high quality work of Freshly Squeezed Samples. They have proven repeatedly that they know what they are doing. Without their sound sets, I doubt many of my tracks of recent years would be the way I wanted them. My 2012 release Airbase - Uppercut (A State of Trance) and my upcoming 2013 single Modus Operandi (A State of Trance) are both built on a foundation of tweaked and un-tweaked sounds from the creative minds at Freshly Squeezed Samples. If you're a Zebra fan, do yourself a favour and check out their Zebra Essential Collection Volume 1 and 2 sound sets.

Shawn MitiskaI absolutely love the new Sylenth1 Essential Collection Volume 1 sound set released by Freshly Squeezed Samples, whether you're a novice or pro these patches will sound great in any style of music. I'd definitely have to say this is one of the strongest sound-sets to come out for Sylenth1 in a long time and I will most definitely be using these presets in my own productions - great work!

TalamancaEver since I got introduced to the sound banks of Freshly Squeezed Samples I've been hooked.
Always been a big fan of clean samples & synthesizers and they offer that in every single product I have so far. You could say there's been quite a shift in my quality of productions and it's basically thanks to Freshly Squeezed Samples. They’ve definitely been my go-to libraries for a long time now!

MoonsoulsI've been using Freshly Squeezed Samples sound sets in my own productions for the past 2-3 years. What drew me in the most is the variety and the quality of sounds in there. While browsing through many other sound sets and sample packs on other websites, I just lost the patience to look further because of bad demos that presented them. With FSS it only took one demo to realize the quality, dedication and love that you could hear in each and every sound. Afterwards I didn't bother with anyone else!
My favourite products are the sound sets from Temple One & Sunny Lax and I use these most commonly in my productions. These patches are so nicely programmed that it's so easy to use and also make new sounds from them as well. Really inspiring!

Ville LopeAbout Sample Libraries & Sound Sets:
Couple weeks ago I was producing with my Subtraxx label mate Marko Kantola and he is a big fan of Essential + Definitive Collection. We made two new tracks that weekend and Sylenth + both sound banks were heavily used.
Keep up with the great quality - seems like I have to get some extra sounds and samples from you in the future.
These sound banks together with couple of new tricks in our sleeves have raised our production to another level.
Thanks guys, keep up with the amazing work.

Damion Houchen
GenixI have purchased some sound banks and sample packs from Freshly Squeezed samples in the past and I have to say I was more than happy with the products. First of all the website is user friendly and has a wide variety of sounds and samples for all of your production needs. I have used these sounds & samples in many of my productions that have been released over the past year or so. For the more beginner producers there are stacks full of pre-set sounds that won't need any further programming and you can use them right away. Power at your fingertips! I was also impressed with the quality of the audio samples from freshly squeezed. These can be added to your tracks right away. I would 100% recommend the range of Freshly Squeezed Samples products to any level of music producer from beginner to advanced.

Andrej Anske
AnskeI fell in love with Freshly Squeezed Samples sound sets from the very beginning! I remember they sounded like nothing else I’d heard before. The sound was professional, original and very much inspiring. Since then the sounds have become a major contribution to my works and a big inspiration. One thing is for sure - Freshly Squeezed Samples know how to deliver quality products!

Jeppe Gelardi Madsen
GelardiI use the Activa Trance Essentials sample pack in almost every trance production I make, it's such a well-rounded pack! With Activa Trance Essentials you are almost completely sorted, as it has everything you could possibly want, from atmospheric FX samples to bassline MIDI files. It really is, as the name hints, an essential pack.

Serik Slobodskoy
HyperbitsWe couldn't be more in love with Freshly Squeezed Samples. The sound sets are alarmingly tasteful and thorough, essential for making clean, club friendly music. As soon as we began incorporating Freshly Squeezed Samples sounds into our tracks, our productions reached a whole new level of quality and finesse. Simply put, Freshly Squeezed Samples are changing the game.
Freshly Squeezed Samples soundbanks make their way into every single track I produce. Simply put, the Temple One Sylenth1 essentials Volumes 1-3 are some of the most powerful and competitive sounds in electronic dance music right now.

Danny Chen
Danny ChenThis is truly an amazing midi pack. There is seriously tons of value to be had from this. Every kit included contains the basic essential building blocks of a song. You can instantly tell from the melodies and chord progressions that a lot of time was devoted to making it amazing. A lot of these melodies are just wonderful. This is valuable because of the immense knowledge that can be had studying each part and how they fit together. Not only that, for newcomers who aren't great at writing melodies yet, well this is actually great because you can shift focus to creating banging percussion, syncopation and experimenting with various parts of production such as compression and picking the right sounds (making them the best as they can be). Making a kick ass drum kit is just as important as the melodies, so there is great practice to be had to pick the right sounds that meld together well which is personally what I'll be doing.
Thanks Freshly Squeezed Samples, you guys outdid yourselves again :) -
Jake Shanahan
ShanahanFreshly Squeezed Samples are one of the leading companies in the world of presets and samples. I love sifting through some of the new packs finding new inspiration to apply to my forever-growing catalogue of production resources. The quality is very high and they give you tons of fresh ideas to incorporate in your own productions!

Simon Bostock
Simon BostockI'm always on the lookout for new instrument banks and buying them can be a bit of a gamble at times, even if these demo tracks sound really convincing. But seriously, I honestly have to say that I was really surprised of the high quality and detail of all the presets that came in both the Freshly Squeezed Samples Sylenth1 and V-Station banks.
There are stacks of bases, leads, pads, plucks and effects that will suite all styles of electronic dance music that will rip your monitors and keep you busy. These banks have been used in the "Flying" and "Heartfelt" remixes as well as my original "Overload" track.
I would highly recommend you buying these packs because you'll certainly end up having these in your favourite’s folder and loading them up at least once a session.

Gary Maguire
Gary MaguireAlways been a huge fan of Freshly Squeezed Samples. It's always been quality over quantity with every product released, from their sound banks to sample libraries, I use them in literally every production.
They are my go to sounds when I am writing and have been a massive help for my tracks. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Steven Baan
Estiva | Steven Baan | GyalaAfter using various Sylenth1 sound sets by Freshly Squeezed Samples I now realize these are my go to banks to get inspired. It is really convenient to have loads of clean pre made sounds in clearly structured sound sets as it speeds up my writing and production process.
Writing hooks is easier for me when playing around with rich sounding leads. Also, you can just grab one of those leads or basses used in well-known hits and add your own flavour to it. You can get the sound that you're looking for in no time. At the same time it inspires me to use those familiar sounds in a completely different context.
These sound sets boost my creativity and enhance my work flow!

Adam EllisAbout Sean Tyas & Darren Porter Sylenth1 Essentials Volume 1:
I find that a lot of sound banks contain some good sounds but are generally filled out with presets I simply cannot use. The new Sean Tyas & Porter Sylenth1 Essential Volume 1 bank couldn't be further away from that. This bank is filled with presets that cut through the mix with little processing. Highly recommended.

AWDThe day I discovered the Freshly Squeezed Samples website was certainly a game changer for me. Their Sylenth1 sound banks have been a staple feature in every single one of my releases to date, whether it be through tweaking or processing a patch, or using it straight out of the box. Freshly Squeezed Samples are my go to sound library provider.
