Audio Content

Before we get into the sounds, please note that our content is always from scratch and contains all original content. This keeps your sound library constantly stocked with a treasure trove of fresh, new ideas that you can use to define your signature sound
We priced Pyro so that there's zero risk, meanwhile your sound library expands with fresh content.
We're honestly tired of hearing the same old drum sounds over and over. Selling you a classic drum machine sample pack does not move the art of beat production forward or encourage new ideas very well.
We enjoy some sound libraries/services, but found there was nothing special about getting sounds the entire planet also has access to at all times. Nearly all producers latch onto new ideas through discovery of something they have never heard before, so we wanted to build on that experience—it's where the magic happens.
Our unique synergy of affordability and surprise sonic exploration is essentially risk free. We want to ignite your creativity. Exorbitant prices and unoriginal sounds create pause, bottlenecking the creative process.

Pyro Audio releases feature one-shot samples, with an emphasis on percussion (kicks, snares, hi-hats, transitions, textures, tonal drums, etc). Pyro is designed for elite music production and does not include loops, although many samples may contain enough audio content to be chopped and/or looped.

Pyro releases contain a downloadable .zip file, which contains .WAV files. Samples are 24-bit, 48 kHz.

At minimum we provide a few 16-pad banks worth, but there is no set minimum or maximum. We find it absurd to provide too few samples (or too many that have no useable value)—quality, variety and depth are absolute benchmarks for every Pyro Audio release.

Because Pyro Audio releases feature .WAV files, there are very few limits to what gear you can use to create with, if any. Older samplers that do not support internal loading of 24-bit content will require that the samples be converted to 16-bit or lower. A number of free converter tools are available here so that if your requirements change, you can still use your Pyro collection.

Virtually all audio software supports the use of .WAV files, including software samplers, drum modules, and beat making apps.

Pyro Audio content is 100% original and not sampled from copyrighted recordings, ever. While we cannot divulge our secret sauce, we use a mind-boggling range of techniques to craft our critically-acclaimed textures. Pyro's sound designers capture new and innovative content every day using a mix of conventional (and highly-unconventional) audio recording methods like location audio, folely, sound synthesis, and medium transfer. For example, if sticking your rare, specialized $8,000 microphone out of a window in a rainstorm makes you cringe, it probably got us excited. Leave the dirty work to us.

You never need clearance to use Pyro Audio samples in your creations because all content is 100% original, and we give you permission to use it without limits. We do not and will not claim any ownership of the tracks you create with Pyro.

In short, no. There are endless ways to get signature sounds that already exist, but that is not what Pyro Audio is about. Pyro is about blazing new trails. For the record, we have nothing but admiration for well-known producers, and celebrate their success. Many of them actually inspired us to take this journey. We just hope you're next.

Can you send me a floppy disc/SD card/CD-ROM/ZIP disc/DVD/hard drive instead of a download link?

Absolutely. We use the Stripe and Shopify platforms to accept payments, and are highly credible with exceptional data encryption.

Pyro will never sell or distribute your data to 3rd party companies. We also hate spammy emails, so don't expect any of those either—just account information emails, Pyro content, and an occasional special.

All sales are final, and we do not offer any returns for digital goods. If you are not satisfied try emailing us.

Pyro does not provide technical support for your hardware or software (DAWs, sequencers, samplers, etc). Please contact the manufacturer for assistance with your studio gear.
