Sound design automationWorks on your own libraryFree iLok account

SoundWeaver helps you design new sounds from existing audio material in less time.

It automates and randomizes certain parts of your sound design workflow — searching your library, laying the session out, and generating the variations you would otherwise build by hand.

At a Glance

  • Searches your library by keyword or by folder path, and picks matching sounds
  • Lays the session out sorted, grouped, layered, aligned and split into regions
  • Randomizes pitch, offset, gain, shuffle — per sound, per group or whole project
  • Snapshots keep favourite combinations and return to them later
  • Two ways out drag and drop into your DAW, or export the final mix
  • Free iLok account required to run it

01What It Doesthe workflow▾
Finds the soundsSoundWeaver searches your sound library with keywords or folder paths and picks matching sounds for your project
Builds the sessionSounds are automatically sorted, grouped, layered, aligned and split into regions, if the files contain multiple variations
Then you shape itPitch, offset, gain, shuffle and randomize individual sounds, groups or the whole project
Keeps what you likedTake snapshots of favourite combinations and settings, create as many variants as you like, return to them later
Hands it overDrag and drop the project into your DAW for further editing, or export the final mix
And at exportIt can generate countless variations from your project via pitch, offset and take randomization
02Why It Existsthe use cases▾
Tight schedulesA client asks for 100 new assets, 10 variations each, as soon as possible. Variations in particular mean meticulous pitching, shifting and swapping inside your original design
What that becomesA few commands, and the time-consuming steps are automated; all that is left is a quick listen and keeping the ones you like
New combinationsPast a certain library size there is only so much manual experimenting left. Randomize often produces combinations you would never have tried
Three ways inHave an idea and let it build variants on it; start empty-handed and let it put the layers in place; or finish something and try unlikely sounds in a few clicks
03Version and Licensing1.3.3, March 2024▾

1.3.3 fixed“Add plugin” menu positioning with multiple vertical displays
1.3.3 fixedChanging audio export settings that affect the “Prepare for Drag & Drop” export did not mark the export out of date
1.3.3 fixedIncreasing the quantity of a group could pick the same sound twice
1.3.3 fixedThe minimum duration of silence when detecting regions in an audio clip did not work correctly

A library stops being an asset at the size where you can no longer remember what is in it. Automating the search is not a shortcut here — it is the only way the last few thousand files ever get used.
