YOU HAVEN'T PUNISHED YOUR MUSIC ENOUGH
If you're looking for an exercise in mangling, no library will take you farther than The Dark Side. With a vast collection of crushed, battle-scarred drums, guitars, keys and more, it was designed with a single purpose in mind: to push conventional instruments beyond the point of recognition and take a stand against bland, sterile recordings. It would be impossible to ask for more attitude and grunge than is available to you here.





MANGLE, BLEED AND CRUNCH ANY SONG TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT
If you need to push any instrument you can think of beyond the point of recognition through distortion, feedback, flutter and more, The Dark Side will become a welcome playground for you. Nearly every instrument was recorded with intense effect chains, and the player interface contains even more ways to push a range of sounds into oblivion. You can create virtually any grungy sound you need by pulling up one of these instruments and putting it through the ringer of intense FX.

DRUMS
These have been pushed so hard that you may wonder if your speakers are crumbling. The core tone of these kits is preserved, heavily compressed for punch and explosive releases, and overdriven through a series of unforgiving analog distortion modules.

BASSES
A premier collection of industrial basses and synths that make for a hefty low-end foundation. They've been forced through a number of aggressive effects, turning them into a monstrous force when paired with heavy drums.

GUITARS
The Dark Side's premium example of grunge, these guitars will boldly cut through any mix with force. They shine when you're ready to throw away melodic control for unconstrained power.

KEYS AND STRINGS
These were designed to be as unsettling as humanly possible, whether through distortion or nails-on-a-chalkboard intervals baked into the library. A single note should be enough to set your listeners on edge.

TRADITIONAL AND CHOIRS
Chopped, punished, and overdriven, this collection is ideal if you want to add a more organic touch but still need a heavy dose of edginess.

INSTRUMENTS WFX
A combination of instruments pulled from other sections and run through significant variations in effects and other processing. Feel free to make changes of your own and save them as new .ewi files to recall later!

MISC AND PERC
Everything that was too weird or obtrusive to be included anywhere else in this library, from unusual percussion to complex, synthesized FX.

- Produced by award-winner producer Doug Rogers and Grammy winner David Fridmann
- 40 GB of distorted and eerie percussion, guitars, choirs and more
- Pre-rendered sounds pushed through analog vintage & tube effect chains
- Easy to drop into metal, industrial, or hybrid orchestral songs
- Powerful tool for film, TV, and game music production
- Winner of a MIPA Award



You need R2R PLAY/OPUS release to use this library (as a witch has said...)

quote by VoidheadThis was the first plugin I ever bought way back in the day and it was underwhelming to say the least. It sounds okay at times with all the effects but for the most part it's 40gb of absolute garbage. You couldn't pay me to put this thing on an album, it's that bad.

Anyway, I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything, great share Decibelle. Just wanted to share my thoughts since I've had this for so long.


I have to agree. I passed on this one. Underwhelming as you said. Thanks for the share tho, maybe others find use for this, not my cup of tea, presets sound weak to me.

if something is this big of a download/hd commitment, it is good to get real opinions before just downloading.

I believe that there's a video explaining how this and Ghostwriter were basically just patches from other EW libraries with "fancy effects" on top but basically they were just selling reused sounds that could have been added as patches on the original libraries instead.

you may be right about this library, but ghostwriter was produced by steven wilson of porcupine tree. i doubt that he would put his name on something that was just a recycling of old presets that e-w had already sold.

I really like the "mix ready" drum section, about the rest, you are right in some way but they aren't garbage, they're just instruments you can find anywhere.

if you make dance . . . you need certain libraries, if you make nu metal, you need others . . . if you make videos for social media surfing in the beach maybe this thing is fantastic . . .
r2r open the doors for test all this libraries . . . 8tb disk arrives tomorrow , i dont know when i will need a arabian girl singing or japanese taikos . . . ha ha ha
thanks to r2r

maybe for electronic bedroom musics all this libraries are not very usefull , but open your mind my friends . . . . not all are people on europe or usa . . . nigerian people needs libraries, indian people too . . .
