Sample library subscription with a DAW plugin vs MixMaster Pro, which makes one-shots and loops from your own uploads, prompts or voice. What each tool is for, and when to choose which.
MixMaster Pro is the living Mix Intelligence platform for producers. Analyses stay in your Mix Library, revisions compare on the same mix, references save to your account, and Maya on Pro+ coaches from your bound report - connected workflows instead of one-time uploads. The same account also runs Audio Tools and Workflow Builder: AI mastering, stem splitting, karaoke, a capella, guitar chords and lyrics, Sound FX, song generation, voice cleanup, and audio restoration.
Loopcloud is a points-based royalty-free sample library from Loopmasters, used through a VST / AU plugin inside DAWs. Samples preview in time and in key with the project and can be edited before export. (Details checked on Loopcloud's own public pages, November 2026.)
Samples on MixMaster Pro makes clean one-shots and loops for your own productions: pull a kick, snare or vocal out of a song you upload, describe a sound in text, or sing, hum or beatbox it. Results are 24-bit WAV files in Library > Samples.
Our recommendation
Choose Loopcloud when you want to browse a large catalog inside the DAW, matched to your project tempo and key. Choose MixMaster Pro when you want to make a specific sample yourself, from a song you upload, a text prompt or your voice.
