Simplify Your Sample Searches
Have you ever given an audio file a name that made perfect sense at the time, but then had no idea what it was when you looked for it later? Sweetwater sound designers and post-productions experts know this situation all too well, unfortunately. Waves Cosmos Sample Finder represents a sure-fire solution. Whether deployed as a plug-in or a standalone program, Cosmos leverages an AI neural networks engine to analyze all the samples on your hard drive, then categorizes and auto-tags the instrument, timbre, style, key, beat per minute (bpm), and other sonic characteristics (such as “loop” or “one-shot,” “dry,” or “wet,” and much more) for easy locating in its database. This AI-powered auto-tagging and search function makes it effortless to find the samples you’re after by simply typing in the appropriate tags. Cosmos also features three different views and is compatible with several different file types. Finally, Cosmos makes it easy to create collections of samples as favorites or as groups meant for specific purposes, and comes stock with 2,500 royalty-free samples!

AI auto-tags every sample
Because Cosmos uses AI to auto-tag your samples according to their bpm, instrument, key, and other sonic characteristics, it’s easy to find any sample you need for any purpose. Looking for a big, boomy kick drum swimming in reverb? Type in “kick drum” and “reverb” into the Cosmos search engine, and any relevant sample on your hard drive is likely to come up.
Create your own sample lists
Whether you want to create a favorite playlist of go-to samples or collect groups of samples that you intend to use for specific purposes and settings, Cosmos will oblige with equal aplomb. Moreover, if you’re light on samples to begin with, don’t worry: Cosmos comes stock with 2,500 samples for you to use immediately — and they’re royalty-free!
Usable with multiple file types
While WAV and MP3 files rule the music world, film and game audio segments use many different file types. This isn’t an issue with the Waves Cosmos sampler plug-in, though — it’s compatible not only with WAV files, but also with AIF, OGG, and FLAC.
