What Loopcloud is
Loopcloud is a sample browsing, editing, and library tool for music producers on macOS, Windows, and the web. It lets users preview and organize royalty-free samples alongside their own collections. The site describes a catalog of over 4 million samples, more than 250,000 MIDI files, and over 7,000 synth presets. Its 8-track editor can slice, rearrange, and add effects to samples, including sounds that have not been purchased. Loopcloud can preview sounds in a DAW’s time and key, transpose them to a project key, and let users drag files into a session. Desktop software works standalone or through VST, AU, or AAX plugins with compatible DAWs, including Ableton Live, Apple Logic, Steinberg Cubase, Reason, and FL Studio. Subscriptions include DRUM and PLAY instruments and Loopcloud Sync and Sounds plugins. Monthly plans start at $7.99 a month with a 14-day trial; annual plans start at $79.99 a year. Plans include points for sounds, presets, and expansions, plus cloud storage from 5 GB to 250 GB.
