Meet Vibe

Search for a feeling, not a filename.

You know how the next sound should feel. Vibe turns that instinct into a search across every sample you own.

Vibe search

Stop filtering.
Describe the feeling.

Vibe listens for the character of a sound, not just its file data. Ask for texture, energy, space or mood and let CRATES dig through the whole library.

Precise analysis

Tempo, key and loudness you can trust.

CRATES measures the audio itself. Rename the file, move the folder or forget where it came from. The facts stay with the sound.

Understands sound

Genre, mood and instruments.

Useful words become part of every file, even when the filename tells you nothing.

Search by ear

Start with one sound. Find the next.

Choose a sample you like, then tell CRATES what should change.

For producers

Your catalogue belongs here too.

Create a seller profile, upload your beat, set each licence and publish to the live marketplace. Browsing is public; selling is protected by your CRATES account.

The catalogue shell is ready; these are clearly marked preview listings. Real sellers and checkout will appear here once the first catalogue is published.
How it works

Set it up once.

Choose your folders

Start with the sample folders you already use. CRATES reads them without moving or renaming anything.

Let CRATES listen

Each file is analysed once. New sounds are picked up automatically, so the library stays current.

Search and create

Ask for “140 dark trap, F minor, no vocals” or start with one sound and find more like it.
