We wanted to recommend a product that will help all you producers and DJs out there – from the freshest amateurs who are still learning about DAWs to the most professional veterans of the industry – get that extra edge when it comes to making your tracks sound fresh, new and different. We present to you Loopcloud created by Loopmasters.

Loopcloud is an app that, by connecting to your DAW, allows you to access a seemingly unlimited amount of quality samples, loops and sounds directly onto your track.

Here are some of the reasons we think Loopcloud is a game-changer

Access A Bottomless Catalog of Sounds

Loopcloud is the largest library of sounds, samples and – uh well – loops, in the world. With a catalogue of over a million different sounds, this tool is bound to bring an unimaginable array of possibilities when it comes to designing new sounds and getting inspiration for new beats.

The only thing you need is an internet connection (as all the sounds are kept in the Cloud, to keep your computer from getting cluttered up with excess loops). Not only that, every week you will get 150 sounds, just by opening the app. This insurmountable tool for finding new sounds is topped by its user-friendly approach, which makes it such a cost and time-efficient tool.

Loops Made Simple

First of all, the app connects directly to your DAW through its plug-in, meaning you’ll be able to upload the sounds directly to your project. You pick any loop that you like from the catalogue and then you just drag it and drop it onto the project.

You can even drag audio that has been pitched, time-stretched and sequenced into the DAW. Another new feature that will come in handy is the auto key-match function. When engaged, this will automatically sync the loop to the pitch of the track. Finally, once you’ve downloaded the loop you can personalise them, EQ them and add any effect to make it sound exactly the way you want for your track.

How To Use Loopcloud

Download the Loopcloud app from the App Store or Google Play.

Open the app and create an account.

Select the type of music you want to explore.

Browse through the library of sounds and samples, and add them to your cart.

Once you’ve added the sounds you want to your cart, you can preview and purchase them.

After purchasing your sounds, you can add them to your project in the Loopcloud app.

From here, you can mix and edit your sounds to create your unique track.

When you’re done, you can export your track to your preferred audio format.

Pay as You Go

Downloading the app is free and requires no subscription. The pay-as-you-go method works on a base of credits, which you can use to purchase the loops, but only after being able to try out the loop in your song. You also get 500 free credits when you start with Loopcloud so you can get a feel for what you can do with this tool. On top of this, all users will receive double credits on their first purchase as a promotional perk until August 1st.

What’s New

The app comes with a variety of new and exciting functions. The top one of these is the option to audition the loops before buying them. With this audition feature, you can test the loop on your track (as well as time and pitch sync it) so you can hear first-hand how the loop will sit in your mix, without paying a single penny. It also gives you the option to choose between buying a sound, a folder or a pack, allowing for huge savings depending on your needs for loops.

Finally, the newer Loopcloud works a lot quicker and better. Since it now automatically updates itself, the app will always be performing at its peak. Added to this, is the fourfold improvement in speed and the improvements in optimisation across the app making it more intuitive, inspirational and easy to use so that you can concentrate on what matters most; making music.

Loopcloud vs Splice

Both digital music production platforms offer a variety of features for producers and musicians.

Loopcloud is a cloud-based platform that allows users to store and share their music projects. It also offers a variety of tools for music production, such as loops, samples, and virtual instruments. Additionally, Loopcloud has a built-in marketplace where users can purchase music from other producers.

Splice is a subscription-based platform that offers a comprehensive suite of tools for music production. It includes plugins, samples, loops, and other virtual instruments. Splice also has a library of royalty-free samples and a marketplace where users can purchase sounds from other producers. Additionally, Splice offers collaboration features, allowing users to collaborate on projects with other producers.

The main difference between Loopcloud and Splice is that Loopcloud is a cloud-based platform, while Splice is a subscription-based platform. Additionally, Loopcloud offers a variety of tools for music production, while Splice focuses more on collaboration features.

Loopcloud vs Splice price differences

Moving on to pricing, LoopCloud offers a free version which provides nearly 100 free samples per day. Subscribing for $7.99 per month unlocks additional samples and more powerful features for the LoopCloud 6 software. Alternatively, Splice has a monthly subscription of $9.99 for 100 downloads that can be cancelled at any time, with the option of purchasing individual samples from their sample packs.

This is ideal for producers who have an extensive sample library and need to fill in some gaps here and there; Splice also adds new samples regularly so it’s great for staying inspired.

Which one should you go for?

There are some slight variations in the value propositions. For musicians creating music in the present day, LoopCloud is essential. Additionally, Splice is a great option for many producers due to its expansive library and its ability to provide exactly what you need whenever you require it. However, Loopmasters library is also very exciting, so it may be beneficial to check if they have the samples you want before deciding which service to subscribe to.

Have you ever purchased a sample pack for $40 and only used a few samples? Paying eight dollars per month for those same samples, even if it’s only five or six, is actually quite the bargain. This is especially beneficial to producers who work quickly and with high production quality. However, you don’t have to choose between LoopCloud or Splice! You can download the LoopCloud sample manager while subscribing to Splice and use both services simultaneously. That way, you can access all your samples through LoopCloud!
