Find, edit and drop samples - AI music & audio sample manager
Loopcloud is a cloud-first sample library and DAW plugin that lets producers search, audition, edit and drag samples into any DAW. It's ideal for beatmakers and electronic producers who want instant key/BPM-matched auditioning and integrated purchases. Pricing includes a Free tier and multiple monthly subscriptions, making entry-level use cheap while advanced features require a paid plan.
Loopcloud is a cloud-powered sample library and DAW integration tool that helps music producers find, audition, edit and drop samples directly into their projects. Its primary capability is instant, key- and tempo-matched auditioning through a desktop app plus a VST/AU/AAX plugin, letting users preview samples in context. The key differentiator is a synchronized local-library match and in-app store that combines search, tagging and one-click purchase. Loopcloud serves producers, sound designers and composers who need fast sample sourcing and lightweight editing. Pricing is accessible with a Free tier and several paid subscription levels for heavier users.
Loopcloud is a sample management and cloud-synced audio workstation companion created by the Loopmasters team to bridge sample discovery with DAW workflows. Launched as a sample-browsing and store-integrated app, Loopcloud positions itself between a marketplace and a production utility: it indexes both its own sample store and users' local libraries, applies metadata and enables contextual auditioning. The core value proposition is time saved - producers can audition professionally produced loops and one-shots at project tempo and key without importing audio, reducing context-switching between browser, store and DAW.
The app and plugin provide several concrete features: a desktop library with smart search and filters (tags, genre, key, BPM) and a VST/AU/AAX plugin that streams previews to your DAW so you can audition samples in sync with your session. Loopcloud includes sample editing tools-time-stretch, pitch-shift, slice, trim and basic gain/EQ-inside the app so edits can be exported as WAV or dragged into the DAW via the plugin. The library/store integration lets you buy single samples or packs and add them to your cloud library; local library import and automatic matching brings private samples into the same searchable interface, with metadata tagging and saved collections.
Pricing mixes a free entry point with paid subscription tiers. The Free account allows limited downloads, auditioning and local library management but restricts access to subscription-only packs and high-resolution content. Paid subscriptions (monthly or annual) unlock unlimited auditioning in higher quality, discounted pack pricing and extra cloud features; common paid tier prices are roughly in the low-to-mid monthly range (subscription prices vary and regional pricing applies).
Loopcloud also offers occasional bundles and pay-per-pack purchases for users who don't want ongoing subscriptions. Loopcloud is used by a broad set of creators: electronic music producers who need rapid sample sourcing and arrangement, and post-production editors who require fast keyworded searching inside large libraries. Example users include a Beatmaker using Loopcloud to cut sample search time by half when finishing weekly releases, and a Sound Designer using it to build themed packs and export tempo-matched stems for editorial work.
For users who prioritize integrated sample purchasing and tempo/key auditioning, Loopcloud differs from Splice by focusing on store-driven purchases and local-library matching rather than purely subscription downloads.
