What it does
LANDR Samples is a browser plugin that puts LANDR's online sample library inside the DAW. The idea is to stop switching between the DAW and a separate sample browser, and to audition sounds against the actual track.
- Library: access to over 3 million royalty-free samples and exclusive packs.
- Key and BPM sync: samples follow the project's key and tempo while you audition them.
- Drag and drop: drop a chosen sample straight onto a DAW track.
- Hot-swap: switch quickly between samples to compare them in place.
- In context: browsing and previewing happen with the session playing, not in a separate app.
The plugin is a free download, and full access to the library comes with a LANDR Studio subscription.
When to use it
LANDR Samples is a library front end rather than a processing tool, so its value depends on LANDR's catalog and a subscription. It has nothing in common with rated utilities like Insight 2 or REFERENCE 3, which meter and compare audio. Its main strength is auditioning in the project's key and tempo without leaving the DAW. It suits LANDR Studio subscribers who build tracks from samples and want to try many quickly.
- Best for: finding and auditioning samples in key and tempo inside the DAW.
- Genres: any sample-based production, such as hip-hop, pop and electronic.
- Look elsewhere if: you don't subscribe to LANDR; other sample services have their own browsers.
Where to buy
- LANDR: Free (free plugin download; full library access needs a LANDR Studio subscription)
