Sounduser.com is the web's premier sample CD review site, in addition we offer free VST software and general sampling and music making information.

We offer in-depth, independent reviews of sample CD's and related products. We publish new reviews weekly, usually on a Tuesday.

Your feedback is appreciated !

Sounduser.com welcomes product submissions for review. Whilst our main focus is on sample cd's we will also consider reviewing related sampling and music making products.

We operate at present a weekly review schedule. A reviewed sample CD will feature on the home page for a period of seven days, the reviews page for 6 weeks and then in the reviews archives forever.

At present there is an approximately 8 week queue, from the date of receipt, to the date of publishing of an initial review. Subsequent reviews can usually be accommodated in a slightly shorter time frame.

The suppliers of sample CD's and related products will be linked to in a review, normally to a website, but we will also include further contact information on request. Additionally we will include a free 468x60 banner at the end of a review to publicise either the product directly or the publisher in general. Example here.

Please check our media kit for information on site traffic levels.

If shipping products from outside of the EEC please put a value of $1 against review products as to avoid the payment of import duty.

Products should be sent to:-
