AI Discovery surfacing forgotten samples from a producer's local library — Fig. 03 / AI Discovery — curated set

Your library already has the sound you're reaching for.

Ask for "atmospheric textures with long tails" or "a complete lo-fi kit at 85 BPM" and Sample Vault pulls a curated set from your entire library or tells you what's missing from the arrangement.

Curate: Live collections you describe in plain language, sorted into groups that keep filling themselves.
Resurface: Pulls up samples you haven't touched in months or never opened.
Diagnose: Gap analysis: "no mid-range melodic content in this project."
Adapt: Learns from what you search, preview and favourite.

Every alt-tab is

Stays in front of the DAW when you want it there. On paid plans, the same app opens in any browser at samplevault.ai.

The kind of AI
that serves the producer.

Sample Vault's models exist to organise your library, not to replace your taste. We reject the idea that the producer is what software should automate.

/ 07 — Process

From a folder
to a searchable library.

Nothing leaves your disk unless you ask and the files stay exactly as you left them.

Step 01

Point it at your folders.

Add as many sample directories as you like. Sample Vault scans every audio file and builds a local index. Nothing is uploaded, moved, or renamed.

—WAV, AIFF, MP3, FLAC and OGG
—Multiple folders, multiple drives
—Files stay on disk, untouched

What producers say
after a few weeks in.

01
“Being able to simply describe the sound I’m looking for in my own words instead of trying to remember exact sample names or folder structures is a complete game changer.
I’ve been looking for a sample browser like this for a long time, but I was never really happy with how other companies handled their pricing and paywalls. Sample Vault solves that problem perfectly.”

“I was in the habit of spending over $200 USD a month on the latest and shiniest sample packs and didn’t know what I had already purchased.
Now I don’t buy anymore sample packs or even VST. Finally getting work done faster than I ever have.”
— Alex MuzoLatin / house

03
“What used to be endless scrolling through folders trying to find the right sound has turned into a quick, focused process.
I was skeptical of the modular dock layout at first, but I’ve come to really like it. Definitely worth checking out if you’re drowning in samples like the rest of us.”

“All of this is available completely free of charge, and many features like MIDI and preset support, sound manipulation, or sample diagnostics are already in the works.
I’m really excited to see how Sample Vault will continue to evolve and what features will be included in future updates!”

/ 09 — Who built it

Made by a producer
who got tired of looking.

Hi, I'm Wojtek. I've loved music since I was twelve, and I've produced EDM as a hobby for the last four years.

I always felt that modern tech should be able to fully automate the tedious parts of making music and make it more fun. I set out to delegate them to AI so that producers can focus fully on the creative, human part that cannot be replaced by algorithms.

This is why I started building a sample browser that actually understands what your sounds are and helps you find and use them properly.

This is my passion project built on top of my day job as a software architect, and years working at startups. I read every email and message you send me, so feel free to tell me any thoughts about the project!

/ Calculator — Library value

You already own
the expensive part.

A library this size is worth real money, even at budget pack prices. Most cost more. Making all of it searchable works out to cents per sample, and less the bigger your library gets. Drag the slider for yours.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on scope, pricing, and how the AI actually works.

Does Sample Vault generate sounds using AI?

No. It doesn't generate audio, and it doesn't train models on your samples. Its job is to make the library you already own searchable.

Does Sample Vault work offline?

Browsing, playback, key and tempo detection, filtering — all of it works offline. The AI runs in the cloud, so those features need a connection. An initial sign-in is required.

Can I use Sample Vault in a browser?

Yes, on Home Studio and Professional Suite. Sign in at samplevault.ai and click Open app — the same library, search, Sound Profile, and assistant run against your cloud library. Library scanning, local analysis, and Ableton Link still need the desktop app. Demo Room and Lifetime are desktop-only.

Why is there a subscription?

Deep Tagging and cloud sync cost real money to run. The paid plan pays for them and for ongoing development. That's the whole reason — there's no upsell, no dark pattern, no free-tier downgrade trick.

What happens to my samples if I downgrade?

Your files never move — they stay on your disk on every plan. So do the tags. Every label Deep Tagging produces — genre, mood, instrument, creator, pack — is written into your local library alongside the key, tempo, and character analysis, and it stays there after you downgrade or cancel. Deep-tag a folder while subscribed, drop back to Demo Room, and the results are still yours and still searchable. The only thing tied to a subscription is cloud sync: samples you explicitly backed up are held for 30 days past your storage limit before removal. Nothing on your disk is touched.

What if I only want to organise my library, not subscribe long-term?

That's a fair way to use it. Subscribe for as long as it takes to organise your library — a month, a few months, whatever the size of your collection needs — run Deep Tagging across your folders, then cancel. The labels live in your local library and stay after the subscription ends, so you keep browsing and filtering everything you deep-tagged on the free Demo Room plan. You only lose the ability to deep-tag new folders and to sync to the cloud.

Does the assistant give production advice?

Not yet. The assistant can find samples and organise your library, but it isn't a production coach. Trust your ears. We'll widen its scope as the models and our evaluations justify it — not before.

How does it understand the contents of a sample?

Each file is analysed locally for key, tempo, brightness, stereo width, and 40+ other characteristics. Deep Tagging adds genre, mood, instrument, creator, and pack labels on top. Deep Search runs against that combined fingerprint, which is why "dark minor pad with reverb" ranks correctly instead of matching a filename.
