Loopmasters — Loopcloud (Loopmasters parent)

Loopmasters — Loopcloud (Loopmasters parent) is a sample discovery, management and purchasing ecosystem built around a desktop application and a DAW plugin. Founded as part of Loopmasters’ product family, Loopcloud positions itself as a bridge between large sample libraries and hands-on production workflows by enabling tempo- and key-aware auditioning of samples inside your current session. The platform aggregates Loopmasters’ own catalog plus partner labels and provides a searchable cloud-indexed library so users can find material by genre, instrument, BPM, key and tags. Loopcloud’s value proposition is focused on reducing the time spent hunting for compatible sounds and enabling audition-before-you-buy workflow for both single samples and multi-sample packs.

Key features include the Loopcloud desktop app and the Loopcloud plugin that syncs preview playback to your DAW’s BPM and transport. The app performs automatic key detection and tempo mapping, and offers time-stretching and pitch-shifting so a sample previews in time with your project. There’s sample organization tools: user collections, tagging, favourites, and batch import of existing sample folders. The product also includes a pattern and MIDI browser, real-time sample editing (start/end trimming, gain, reverse), and built-in effects for auditioning variants. Loopcloud integrates with major DAWs through its VST/AU/AAX plugin and supports drag-and-drop of WAV/ACIDized loops directly into a project. It also offers a credits system for buying individual samples and full pack downloads.

Pricing is tiered with a functional free tier that allows browsing, previewing synced samples and up to a limited number of free sample downloads and effects use. Paid subscriptions include Loopcloud Plus and Loopcloud Pro (prices current on the Loopmasters site): Plus is a monthly fee (check loopmasters.com for exact current price) and unlocks higher download allowances, access to the complete Loopmasters library with discounted pack pricing and expanded cloud storage; Pro increases cloud storage, adds more credits per month and priority access to new content and additional effects. Loopcloud also sells single-sample credits and pack purchases a la carte; enterprise or team licensing can be arranged via Loopmasters for larger library or label needs. The free-to-paid path and credits model lets casual users scale up without an immediate subscription commitment.

Loopcloud is used by a broad range of creators from solo beatmakers to studio producers and sound designers. Example workflows: a film sound designer uses the plugin to audition Foley and ambiences synced to a temp score, drastically reducing selection time; an electronic music producer uses Loopcloud Pro to pull in tempo-matched loops and one-shots, then drag WAVs into Ableton Live for arrangement. It’s especially helpful in pre-production, beat creation, and sound library management. Compared with competitors like Splice, Loopcloud’s core differentiator is its desktop app + plugin preview-in-place and integrated time-stretch/key-matching workflow, rather than purely cloud-sync sample storage.
