The Library - samples, SFX, and AI generation

The Library panel is where sound comes from. Browse your gallery, your own sample directory, and the shared community library, generate sound effects, and generate music that matches your project tempo, all draggable onto the timeline.

The Library panel

The panel on the left side of the DAW is where you bring sound in. It has four tabs:

Every item in every tab is draggable onto a track, and has a preview button so you can audition it before you commit.

Finding things: search, sort, and view

Under the library search box there is a small toolbar with two controls that work across every tab:

Both settings stick, so the library opens the way you left it next time.

My Gallery

Your Music Studio generations and any audio you upload live here. Drag any item onto a track to add it as a clip.

Add to Library (the upload button above the search) uploads audio files from your computer to your gallery without dropping them on the timeline, so you can build up a personal library to drag from later. Supported formats: WAV, MP3, M4A, OGG, FLAC.

Samples

Sound in the DAW comes from three separate directories, and they never mix:

Directory Where it lives Yours to delete?
Gallery The My Gallery tab - your generated songs and your uploads Yes, from the Gallery
Your Samples Top of the Samples tab - your own personal sample directory, plus the audio you have uploaded to your gallery Yes, for files in your personal directory
Community Below it, in the Samples tab - a shared, curated pool every signed-in user can browse, grouped by category (drums, FX, and more) No, never

Drag any sample onto a track to use it. This is the place to grab loops, one-shots, and textures to build with.

Deleting your own samples. Files that live in your personal sample directory carry a trash button on the row. Click it, confirm, and the file is gone from your directory and disappears from the list. Nothing else in the Samples tab can be deleted: the Community pool is shared and permanently read-only, and gallery-backed uploads are removed from the Gallery instead, where they actually live. Deleting a personal sample cannot be undone, so make sure you have the file elsewhere if you want it back.

SFX generator

The SFX tab generates sound effects from a text description using AI:

  1. Describe the sound you want, for example "vinyl crackle", "riser into a drop", or "deep impact hit".
  2. Set the length with the slider (1 to 20 seconds). The credit cost updates as you change the length.
  3. Click Generate SFX. When it finishes, the effect is saved to your gallery and appears under Your SFX, ready to drag onto a track.

Generated SFX are not dropped on the timeline automatically, so you can place them exactly where you want.

AI Music generator (directed)

The AI Music tab generates music shaped by structured controls rather than a bare prompt, so the result fits the track you are building:

A live prompt preview shows exactly what will be sent. Click Generate Music and the finished audio drops onto the timeline.

What you get back. Generation costs 20 credits, the same on every plan, and one run returns two takes of the same prompt. Each take lands on its own track, named AI Music 1 and AI Music 2, so you can solo them against each other, keep the one that works, and delete the other. Nothing is dropped on top of the tracks you already had.

While it runs. The panel reports real progress as it goes, not just a spinner: "Lyrics created! Generating audio...", then "First track ready! Finishing up...", then a toast telling you how many tracks were added. A full run takes a couple of minutes.

Because it matches your project tempo, AI Music in the DAW is best for starting a foundation, filling in an element, or making a scratch bed to record over, rather than producing a finished standalone song. For finished songs, use Music Studio.

Signing in and credits

Browsing the community sample library and all generation (SFX and AI Music) require a signed-in account and credits. If you are not signed in, each of these shows a Sign in prompt. Generation shows the credit cost before you run it, and you are only charged on success.
