Type it. Get a usable sample. Drop it in.

Soundry AI is a generative tool for musicians and the first text-to-sample generator. You type a prompt and it creates royalty-free musical building blocks — loops, one-shots and custom sounds — rather than finished songs. It runs as a VST3 plugin and a desktop app so the samples drop straight into your DAW.

Suno and Udio generate complete songs with little ability to modify the output. Soundry AI does the opposite: it generates editable samples and sounds you assemble yourself in a DAW, which gives producers fine-grained artistic control. If you want a finished track from a prompt, use a song generator; if you want raw material you fully own and shape, Soundry AI is built for that.

It uses a freemium model. The free tier includes the text-to-sound generator and Infinite Sample Packs with limited exports. Pro and Studio plans add advanced synthesis, deeper DAW integration and unlimited generation. You can start by downloading the VST3 plugin or desktop app without paying.

Yes. Samples generated with Soundry AI are described as royalty-free and copyright-free, suitable for commercial projects. As AI audio licensing is still an evolving area, confirm the current terms on the official site before using generated sounds in a high-stakes commercial release.

Infinite Sample Packs are stylized, mixdown-ready sound collections you generate with a single click instead of writing a detailed prompt. They are the fastest way to pull usable, on-style sounds into a session, and you can keep regenerating for unlimited fresh variations until something fits.

Yes. Soundry AI ships as a VST3 plugin and as a standalone desktop app for Windows x64, Apple Silicon and Intel macOS. The plugin integrates with common DAWs so you can generate and audition samples without leaving your project. An internet connection is required for the web app and some plugin features.

It is built by Soundry AI Inc., a Seattle-based, Y Combinator-backed team of musicians and AI researchers. The founders combine a Cornell AI PhD, large-scale engineering experience and a working electronic-music career, which is why the framing is built by musicians for musicians and aimed at empowering rather than replacing creativity.

Soundry AI runs a program where artists can license their own music and samples to help train the model. It is an opt-in, consent-based approach to training data and a way for musicians to benefit from the technology, which contrasts with models trained on unlicensed material.

It does not make finished songs or vocals — by design it makes samples, so it is the wrong tool if you want a track handed to you. It is focused on electronic and production workflows, an internet connection is needed for parts of it, and there is a separate, unrelated mobile app with a similar name from a different developer, so download from the official Soundry AI site to avoid confusion.
