What is Co-Producer?
Co-Producer is an AI-powered plugin for any DAW that helps music producers find royalty-free samples that rhythmically and harmonically fit their music. The tool analyzes your project's audio to understand its rhythm and harmony, then curates premium, musician-made samples that work seamlessly with your track. This solves one of the biggest challenges in music production: finding samples that actually fit your track.
Key features include the Pack Generator, which lets you create free sample packs in seconds by simply describing what you want with prompts for moods, instruments, genres, or artist references. You can also specify key and tempo. The plugin offers Audio Capture to listen to your track, text search for instruments/moods/genres, and a 'Show Similar Samples' feature to expand options. New samples are added daily with no limits and no credits required.
Co-Producer is designed for music producers, composers, DJs, and any music makers working in any DAW who want to unlock more time creating and less time searching. It works with existing Arcade subscribers who get Co-Producer free for 60 days, and is also available through Output One subscription which includes Co-Producer plus FX products like Portal FX, Thermal FX, and Movement FX.
The tool integrates partner sounds from top sound design companies including Zenhiser, Black Octopus Sound, Minimal Audio, Cinesamples, Wavetick, and Touch Loops, giving users access to an even broader range of high-quality samples across genres like trap, tech house, g-house, bass house, riddim, melodic techno, synthwave, and future bass.
