The Big Fish Audio Plug Sound Pro DVD (Plug-In & UVI Formats) delivers 8 GB of very useful sounds. It includes all the sounds from the award-wining Plugsound Box (with some enhanced presets like the pianos), a new Classical section providing a wide range of acoustic instruments, and a complete selection of loops and phrases carefully sorted and ready to use.
Keyboards
- Features acoustic pianos in classical, jazz, and pop styles, and alternative sounds like honky-tonk and detuned. It also features a selection of famous suitcase-style electric pianos from the respected manufacturers of these bygone instruments. A wealth of clavinets, electric organs, and synth-based keyboard sounds complete the modern part of the collection. Featured traditional keyboard instruments include church organs, accordion, celesta, vibraphone, music box, and xylophone. An extensive harpsichord section benefits from the Release Trigger feature that allows realistic recreation of this difficult instrument
Fretted Instruments
- Kicks off with an acoustic guitar section. It includes a nylon guitar custom-made by acclaimed maker Gerome, and a Spanish-style nylon guitar. Included are 12 strings and several 6 strings acoustics (from prestigious makers like Guild, Martin, Gerome, and Maruha). Many Dobro and Bottleneck presets add their unique color to the acoustic section. The electric guitar section packs several clean Strat sounds through D.I. or amps like Jazz Chorus or Twin reverb. The D.I. is especially handy if you own an amp modeling effect plug-in. Distorted Strat is also included, captured with the ubiquitous SM57 microphone. The legendary Gibson Les Paul is next, sampled through several different amps. The electric section then provides the Gibson 335, jazz guitars, muted playing style guitars, etc
- The Bass Section starts with an awesome selection of double basses. Then a wide range of electric bass is covered, both fretted and fretless, including all the classic instruments like jazz bass, and many others, covering all current styles. Volume two includes many more sounds like some superb harp presets and many ethnic sounds. The ethnic section includes a great selection of usually very rare multi-samples like banjo, mandolin, Celtic guitar, lute, sitar (and electric sitar), baglamas, bozouki, jubus, oud, lute from Morocco, saz, and tzouras
Drum & Percs

Acoustic drum kits are sorted by style such as Jazz kits, Natural kits (Brushes and Hot Rods), Raw kits (for pop and rock), and Treatment kits (distortion, gate, and spring reverbs). The first of the electric drum section folder offers a selection of sounds sorted by machines from which they originate. From the 70's to the 90's, there are not many missing boxes in this selection. All the classics are there, and a good number of forgotten models as well. The stylistic kits offer another wide selection of electronic drums which are not so instantly recognizable, and are sorted by style rather than by machine drums for Dance, Electro, Groove, House, Techno, Trash, Jungle, Disco, Lo-Fi, and Vinyl
- The Drum & Percs section also includes many urban construction kits of the latest trends timba-style, funk mood, talk-boxed, M&M, pure R&B, and hip hop.

World of Synthesizers
- Features 512 patches in total, a huge collection of retro and modern synth sounds. The focus of this collection was to supply presets based on a very wide variety of analog, digital, virtual analog, and plug-in synthesizers. The world of synthesizers focuses on real synth sounds taken from a range of essential machines from expensive workstations to specialized sound modules. It gives that collection a variety of sound unrivalled by most hardware modules
