Forty thousand files, no idea what is in any of them. CRATES analyses every one — tempo, key, loudness, instruments — then lets you search them the way you'd describe them.
Vocal_Loop_FINAL_2.wav
tells you nothing. CRATES opens it, measures it, and writes down what it heard.
Measured to the decimal, not guessed from a filename. This is the half that has to be right, so it gets the most care.
A model listens to each file and tags it, so “dark” and “piano” become things you can search for even when nothing says so.
Describe the sound in plain words and it finds the closest matches — or point at a sample you like and ask for more like it.
It serves your library to anything on the same wifi. The machine holding the samples doesn't have to be the one in your hands.
The analysis runs on your machine and the results stay there. No account, no sync, no folder of unreleased work leaving the building.
Roughly four times quicker on an NVIDIA card, with byte-identical results. A big library is an afternoon, not a weekend.
Every other store ends with a zip in your Downloads folder. Buy inside CRATES and it arrives analysed — searchable by tempo and key alongside everything you already own, the moment the bar finishes.
A beat isn't sold once. MP3 lease, WAV lease, the trackout with stems, and the exclusive that takes it off the market — same audio, different rights. CRATES treats those as what they are.
Pick a track CRATES has already analysed and the listing arrives filled in — tempo, key, genre. It builds the 30-second preview itself. You set the prices and publish.
Purchases follow the account, not the machine. New laptop, same library.
Wherever the samples already are. CRATES reads them and writes nothing to them unless you ask it to.
It opens every file and measures it. About two seconds a track, four times quicker if you have an NVIDIA card. It only ever runs once per file.
“140 dark trap, F minor, no vocals.” “Something like this, but slower.” The library you already had, finally answerable.
Everything CRATES does with your own files — scanning, tempo, key, loudness, search, playback, export — works forever without paying anyone. That isn't a trial; it's the deal.
The whole library, on your machine.
Adds the model pass — the part that listens.
Sell beats and packs from inside the app.
