Brand: Spitfire Audio

Mercury samples fourteen one-of-a-kind acoustic sculptures, hand-crafted by Hollywood’s premier instrument designer, Chas Smith. These creations painted the unearthly soundscapes of Dune and Interstellar, sang heroic anthems for Man of Steel and The Hunger Games, and textured terrors throughout the Saw film franchise. All told, this collection delivers 600+ textures, tones, and pads—organic and synthesised in Solar, our new eDNA-powered plug-in.

WOW! What an experience : ) Only complaint is the UI of the browser, it makes very bad use of its space and could be tweaked to a better experience! The sounds and performance is prima!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Mercury is a deep instrument, and to be honest my initial impressions were that it was tough to integrate these sounds into my music. But I spent a bit of time learning to use it, and thinking about how I should use it in my work, and now I've cracked it - it's added incredible depth, uniqueness and subtlety. Invest a little time in Mercury and it'll pay off!

Sound Design with no limits. A world of sounds in your hands within minutes with endless possibilities from horror soundscapes to terror designed post apocyliptic sounds to beautiful playgrounds filled with creativity. There is a reason why guys like Charlie Clouser and Hans Zimmer go to Chas Smith, if they want something super unique that noone else has. This library contains everything you going to ever need without having to search for hours for libraries that contain seperately sounds like pads, brass or atmospheres and never come close to the sounds you hear in soundtracks and want to have. Ground foundation of making any soundtrack.

Just the first half hour with Mercury showed me the endless possibilities for scoring. Highly recommended!

This new Mercury library did not reach my expectations. Before the purchase, I played the demos and I heard some nice-sounding base textures/brass-like soundscapes and strings. These sounds are nowhere to be found in the actual library.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

These sounds are amazing! I saw/heard one of these metallic creations being bowed years ago in Boston and was more than pleasantly suprised when I found Mercury. Intro price was great, all the sounds are clean and useable. Love this! I am primarily using for droning tones in meditation music but there is so much here to tap into. Worth it!

Mysterious, unusual, abstract, bizarre, versatile

This is everything I wanted in a sample library. There are some unique percussive samples that can be heavily modified with effects and you can create some amazing atmospheres. The interface is really great and the Manuel explains most of things, however some things can be confusing but it is very minute.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This the creepy, strange and beautiful sound library I've been searching for, for a long time. Great textural undertones to add to any piece or scene that requires a more dark or tension-like feel. Great interface. And you don't need kontakt!! I much prefer their plug-in design.

Great tool with amazing sounds! A lot of possibilities to design your own combinations! Recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Mercury is just what I needed to add dimensional layers to parts of my score where emotion was needed!. The score is for a one man musical with many songs and scenes. Mercury is perfect for scenes that connect the musical together supporting the actor's mood.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

If you could dream in music, this library is for you. While not musical like other Spitfire libraries, when combined, you can get some of the most unique sounds and make them your trademark. Here is the latest video of my music using Spitfire libraries exclusively - including Mercury for ambiance, airiness and depth.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

An amazing collection of other worldly sounds. You will no find a sample library with this quality and creativeness easily. Highly recommended.
