Loopcloud review
A large, searchable sample library with DAW syncing, plugins, storage, and editing tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Loopcloud is a royalty-free music sample library and desktop production workspace for music producers, DJs, and composers. Its library includes samples, loops, MIDI files, synth presets, and plugin expansions, with search and filtering by instrument, genre, key, BPM, and other attributes. It runs across web, Windows, and macOS, and includes tools for organizing personal collections, previewing sounds with a DAW project, and working with Loopcloud DRUM and PLAY.
The paid plans are differentiated mainly by points and cloud storage. Artist costs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year and includes 100 monthly points, or 1,200 annual points, plus 5 GB of storage. Studio costs $11.99 per month or $119.99 per year, with 300 monthly points, or 3,600 annual points, and 50 GB of storage. Professional costs $21.99 per month or $219.99 per year, with 600 monthly points, or 7,200 annual points, and 250 GB of storage. All plans include over 5 million sounds, Loopcloud Sync Plugin, Loopcloud Sounds Plugin, and Loopcloud DRUM and PLAY. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Loopcloud’s strongest fit is for creators who want a broad library alongside organization and production features. Sounds can be previewed in project time and key, personal collections can be auto-tagged, and an eight-track editor supports rearranging and processing. AI-assisted harmonic, rhythmic, and similar-sound matching adds another discovery route, while DRUM can export audio and MIDI from patterns. The credit-based model makes subscription points central to acquiring content, so it suits users who value regular access to a large searchable catalog. Those seeking a free library or a simpler, narrowly focused sample browser should look elsewhere.
