The last time I tested out a music instrument library plugin, it was Output’s Arcade and it became a major part of my production toolkit. Recently, I heard a song from a friend and fell in love the strings, which sounded like he had an orchestra play them. He hipped me to Musio’s library of sounds, which he’s been using since their beta test in 2022. There’s free 30 day trial on their site so i’m giving it a go.
Musio is a powerful tool for all music creators, but the journey to get it out into the world hasn’t always been an easy one. Starts, stops, lackluster launches, and risky decisions have dotted the road to Musio being the plugin that it is now. So in this video, Cinesamples/Musio CEO Mike Patti sits down to talk about the 8 year journey of taking Musio from being a simple idea to releasing it to the world, and all of the successes and challenges we’ve encountered along the way.
