What the Pros Say
Brian Tyler
Fate of the Furious, Avengers 2: Age of Ultron
“Gone are the days of endless hours scrolling through thousands of tracks and patches looking for sounds. Patchboard lets me find them instantly and intuitively; it has completely revolutionized my composing workflow. Now the emphasis is where it should be: I can work at the natural pace of writing the music itself.”
— Brian Tyler
Sean Callery
Designated Survivor, Jessica Jones, Homeland, 24
“Patchboard is an absolute game changer for me. I use Logic and have a very large track palette, and Patchboard allows me to search for and select any track by name, description, or any other desired criteria. That feature alone has saved me enormous amounts of time and has greatly streamlined the creative process. This is a must-have product for any Logic user with large sound palettes.”
