An introduction to Krotos Krotos Studio MAX, based on information from the maker and distributors: what it does, how to use it and who it may suit. It is not scored.
What is Krotos Studio MAX?
Krotos Studio MAX is the subscription bundle of Krotos' sound-design tools. An annual license gives access to everything in the purchase-based Krotos Everything Bundle 6.

Its library holds about 65,000 WAV files, 246 GB and 2,977 presets, larger than Everything Bundle 6 (61,000 files, 218 GB). New content is added every month on the subscription.
It also adds importing your own sounds and the AI feature Video to Sound, which adds sound automatically to videos up to 30 minutes. It could suit people who want sound design for picture in one package.
Krotos Studio Pro
