Tracklib has launched a new plugin called Connect, which integrates its full catalogue of music right into your DAW.

The launch follows on from Tracklib’s mobile app and desktop app, and it’s completely free to install if you already use Tracklib.  Connect also requires no dragging or dropping, and your chosen samples are instantly matched to your project for an in-context preview. You can adjust pitch or playback speed on the fly.

The plugin is available in AU and VST3 formats, so it’s compatible with all major DAWs including Ableton, FL Studio, and Logic Pro X. All Tracklib subscribers can install it at no additional cost from the Tracklib Desktop App on both macOS and Windows.

Andreas Ahlenius, CEO of Tracklib, says: “Tracklib started as an online store for sampling. But with the recent launches of Sounds, our desktop app, mobile app, and now Tracklib Connect, we’re quickly becoming a complete ecosystem for music producers. Our goal is to support producers at every step of the creative process, from inspiration to finished track.”

Tracklib has been continually expanding since it became available to the public in 2018. Back in 2021, Tracklib announced that it had secured $12.2 million in funding from existing investors, including Sony Innovation Fund and WndrCo, as well as from several new investors.

Its library features over 100,000 vintage songs from 400 labels, spanning artists and genres from Mozart to Isaac Hayes, along with 350,000 royalty-free one-shots and loops. It has been used across hits from Drake, Kaytranada, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar.

In other freebie news, Spitfire Audio has also just launched its “largest free sample library” yet. Spitfire Symphony Orchestra Discover (SSO Discover) is essentially a lite, free-to-use version of the brand’s best-selling Spitfire Symphony Orchestra, recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London.
