Free Samples
Where can I find free samples for music?
Free samples, found by describing them: Veena is an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in, free in your browser. Say what you want to hear to CoProducer, "a dusty vinyl drum break around 90 BPM", and it brings 10 previews from a licensed professional catalogue and Veena's own library of 27,356 curated samples. Pick one and it drops onto your timeline at your song's tempo.
A folder of downloaded samples is something to sort. Samples in Veena arrive inside the song they are for: found, auditioned, placed and in time, with the next move, a bassline under the loop or a riser into the chorus, one more sentence.
What free samples Veena finds
| Source | What's in it |
|---|---|
| Veena's curated library | 27,356 samples: 16,020 one-shots and 11,336 loops across 10 categories |
| Licensed professional catalogue | A deep catalogue of loops, one-shots and effects, searched in the same request |
| Your own sounds | Everything you upload, kept in the Library's Uploaded section |
CoProducer searches for more than drums: one-shots, loops, textures, sound effects, transitions, risers, vocal chops and ambience. Artist names, vibes and genre slang all work: "a Dilla-style snare", "something like rain on a window", "a dnb break".
How to find free samples, step by step
- Open daw.veena.studio and sign in with Google. Nothing to download.
- Ask CoProducer for the sound. Describe what it is, how it should feel, and the tempo or key if it is a loop.
- Audition the 10 cards. Each shows the sample's waveform and length. Hover a card to hear it, or move through the list with the arrow keys.
- Pick one. Press Enter or click the card. The sample lands on your timeline as an audio clip and is saved to your project.
- Not quite right? Press More Options for a fresh round, or Skip.
- Place it across the song. Ask CoProducer to "spread this loop across bars 9 to 24" and the copies line up on the bar lines.
Changed your mind? One undo takes the clip back off the timeline.
Free samples that land in time
Veena measures the tempo of every sample CoProducer places. When the read is confident, a loop is stretched to your project tempo without changing its pitch. On an empty project, the first sample sets the tempo, so you can start a song from a loop you love. For the last detail, the clip's Waveform tab has Match BPM, Pitch Shift to the song's key, Find Key and Convert to MIDI, which turns a melodic loop into notes you edit in the piano roll.
What to ask for
The more the request sounds like a producer talking, the better the previews. Name the thing, the feel and, for a loop, the tempo or key: "a pitched vocal chop in F minor, airy and bright", "a short reverse-cymbal riser into the chorus", "a funky guitar loop around 100 BPM in E minor". Not quite it? More Options brings a fresh round without leaving the song.
Free samples you can release
Veena's terms license its sounds, samples, loops, presets and instruments for use within your own projects. The song you finish is yours to release and sell, with no royalties to Veena. Export a 24-bit/48 kHz WAV, a 320 kbps MP3, MIDI or MP4, the full mix or every track, with no cap and no watermark.
Build around the sample
- Write a beat around a loop. "Write a drum groove, a bassline and chords around this loop" gives you every part on its own track.
- Let CoProducer choose. Ask for a whole beat and it reaches for a sample by itself when audio suits the part better than MIDI, like a vinyl texture or a vocal chop.
- Play your one-shots. The MPC Sampler gives each of 16 pads its own gain, pan and pitch; the free online sampler page covers it.
- Use the whole studio. Mixing, mastering, collaboration and your own plug-ins are in the same project.
