Loopcloud have released Loopcloud Sounds, essentially Loopcloud in a VST plugin, a plugin developed as a result of community feedback.
Introducing Loopcloud Sounds, your new go-to plugin for royalty-free samples.
The largest, most diverse and critically acclaimed sample library on the planet is now available directly inside your favourite DAW. Developed from community feedback, the new Loopcloud Sounds plugin makes music production and sampling more fluid and intuitive than ever before.
The Loopcloud Sounds plugin gives you instant access to 4 million royalty-free sounds, Loopcloud’s seamlessly advanced search and “Find Similar” features to instantly find the sounds your track needs, without leaving your DAW.
Whether you’re looking for a vocal, a guitar hook or a drum break to spark your imagination or complete your track, you can browse the extensive Loopcloud sound library in perfect sync and in key with your project to find the best sample for your track. Once you’ve found your sound, simply drag and drop it immediately into your DAW.
Loopcloud Sounds takes the powerful, innovative workflow of the Loopcloud desktop app and streamlines it into a plugin, giving you the quickest and easiest Loopcloud experience yet.
This new and optimised sample searching workflow is not at the expense of features and samples, however. Loopcloud Sounds gives you access to the same expansive and high-quality sample library (the exact number of sounds you have access to depends on your membership), and the tools to filter and audition samples precisely.
Loopcloud Sounds implements Loopcloud’s powerful tagging system allowing you to search for sounds by Instrument, Genre, Tempo and Content Type. You can then play samples back in time with your DAW project so you can immediately hear how they sound in sync, and in context, with your track.
Loopcloud Sounds also includes a Key Lock feature so any tonal samples will be automatically repitched to the key you set. This ensures the sample will work with your track before spending any of your points.
However, to streamline the experience, and to focus Loopcloud Sounds on fast and effective sample discovery, we have optimised the Loopcloud workflow creating our quickest sample searching workflow yet. We’ve created a content-focused experience – find, audition and buy samples within your DAW with the Loopcloud Sounds plugin.
Loopcloud Sounds allow sample favouriting so you can quickly catalogue samples for later use. Importantly you can also buy samples directly in the Loopcloud Sounds plugin using your Loopcloud credits and then drag a high-quality WAV file straight into your DAW, already tempo synced and key locked.
If you already subscribe to Loopcloud on any plan then you will automatically have full access to Loopcloud Sounds, giving you more streamlined access to the over 4 million samples already at your disposal.
You will be able to spend the points already included in your Loopcloud subscription in the same way you would in the Loopcloud desktop app.
You will also have access to any content you have previously purchased at any point from Loopcloud and Loopmasters.

- Access over 4 million sounds with any Loopcloud subscription
