At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, I think this is the best sounding library I have heard to date, not just from Slate, but in general. It should give you a good idea the level of quality of this library. Jazz tends to be pretty raw in terms of production, so what you hear is one of the blackbird preset kits and a bit of processing on my end. I recently used it on a Jazz piece that you can listen to below. And what’s there is certainly versatile and varied enough to work in any of those genres. Everything from country and pop to jazz to metal. In my time with the expansion I tried it on a variety of different material. But alas, after asking around at Slate I found I was mistaken. Like, really good! At first I was convinced these were processed samples, not that there is anything wrong with that. I bring this up because when you load up a kit just for a listen, it sounds good. It is my understand that this library is practically unprocessed, save for some small things in the recording chain. It will give you a pretty good idea of the kind of caliber this place is.
