All your samples in one place

Add your own samples and Loopcloud will analyse and auto-tag them all. When searching for sounds Loopcloud will give you the best match whether the sounds are from your personal collection or from our online Loopcloud store. Learn more.

What you need to know

To achieve this new search performance, we’ve made big changes to the database format.  After installing the update, and launching Loopcloud, it will create a backup of your existing database and upgrade your database to the new format.  Depending on the number of samples in your collection this update could take a few seconds or several minutes.

What you need to do

Download the Loopcloud (5.2) update here.  Or when you next open Loopcloud you can simply check for updates in the app.

It will not be possible to go back to the previous 5.1.x version of Loopcloud without a backup.  We do automatically create a backup of your database, but you may wish to create your own backup if you have added lots of user content or have custom tagging.  Further information on making your own database backup can be found in this support article.

• On Windows, your database is stored in %APPDATA%\Loopcloud
• On Mac, your database is stored in /User/your_login_id/Library/Loopcloud
