Output has recently introduced a plugin designed to solve one of the biggest challenges in music production: finding samples that fit your track. Working in any DAW, Co-Producer analyzes your project’s harmony and rhythm to curate premium, musician-made, royalty-free samples that work—helping artists spend more time being creative and less time searching.
“We built Co-Producer to address the real frustrations of music makers,” said Gregg Lehrman, Founder and CEO of Output. “After talking with thousands of writers and producers, it was clear that endlessly scrolling for samples held back creativity. Artists want sounds that fit their track from the start, with the ability to preview them in context and drag-and-drop directly from within their DAW. They also don’t like the credits system that many companies have.”
Built for musicians by musicians, Co-Producer uses cutting-edge AI technology to enhance your workflow, not replace your creativity. In each step, Output worked with its community of users to make sure artists stay fully in control, not an algorithm.
“We’re not using AI to generate audio—we’re using it to improve how music makers work. By combining language models, audio analysis, and a scalable engine, we deliver high-quality, musician-made results that are 100% free and clear to use,” says Spencer Salazar, Output’s Head of R&D. “Today, musicians discover samples they love in 73% of their searches—and with continuous improvements, that number is only going up.”
Co-Producer is set to redefine the creative sample workflow:
- Co-Producer listens to a project’s audio to analyze its rhythm and harmony, then curates premium, musician-made samples that fit seamlessly with the music.
- Users can explore samples in the context of their song with sounds synced to the session’s key and tempo, playing back in time within all DAWs. Refine results with a text prompt or explore similar sounds around a particular sample.
- Drag and drop samples directly from Co-Producer into your session without leaving the DAW.
- Drop samples into Arcade to automatically slice, chop, and transform them into playable instruments. Pair both Output plugins together for the most creative sample workflow in music.
Unlike platforms that charge per download or require credits, Co-Producer offers unlimited access to all meticulously crafted samples for just $9.99 USD/month. To celebrate Co-Producer’s launch, existing Arcade subscribers will get Co-Producer free for 60 days.
With new samples added daily and Output’s renowned sound design and curation—recognized for its musicality and analog processing—artists will always have fresh inspiration on tap without limits.
