Why Does it Sound So Good?

Our proprietary digital samples of handbells and handchimes are by far the best in the industry, recorded at George Lucas’ Skywalker Soundstage with multi-layered chromatic samples across the full range of the instruments. Each instrument has been recorded with its full natural decay, and with all standard and innovative articulations used in the industry. Our service begins with these awesome sounds. Our expert musical staff then analyzes each of your notated files and determines how best to naturally realize your music using our sounds. Each stage of our process, from beginning to end, is guided and checked by musicians with years of experience in the handbell world. In addition to handbells and handchimes, we support all orchestral instruments and a collection of ethnic instruments.

Using SoundPrint is easy. Just send us your Finale or Sibelius files, and we send you back a great sounding recordings. We can provide you with recordings in MP3 or RealAudio format for your websites, and AIFF or WAV format for your CDs.
