A Plugin That Listens to You
Output has done it again. Known for their innovative tools like Arcade, the team just dropped their latest game-changer: Co-Producer — a sample-finding plugin that literally listens to your music. This isn't your average sound pack or drag-and-drop sample browser. Co-Producer syncs to your DAW, analyzes your track’s key, tempo, and vibe, and then curates a list of royalty-free samples that just fit. No more endless scrolling. No more jarring key mismatches or rhythmic guesswork. Just musical ideas that instantly work. As Magnetic Mag put it, “It’s truly one of the most innovative pieces of technology I’ve seen in quite some time.”
An Exclusive First Look at Output HQ
We were lucky enough to be invited to Output HQ in Los Angeles for a private hangout and live demo of Co-Producer — and let’s just say, the creative energy in that room was next-level. Surrounded by insanely talented producers, sound designers, and creators from across the industry, we got to see how this tool integrates seamlessly with any DAW. The team walked us through the workflow — previewing samples in real time, drag-and-dropping sounds into a session, and even pairing Co-Producer with Arcade to transform loops into playable instruments on the fly. It's clear that Output isn’t just making plugins — they’re building an ecosystem that puts creativity first.
Your Workflow, Supercharged
At its core, Co-Producer is about respecting the artistry of music-making. It doesn't write for you — it listens, curates, and hands you the tools, while keeping you in control. With unlimited access to musician-made, analog-processed samples, Co-Producer helps you skip the frustrating parts and stay in the zone. You can explore ideas without leaving your session, chop them up with Arcade, and push your sound further than ever before. Plus, with new content daily and no credit system, it’s built for endless experimentation. And the best part? If you’re already an Arcade user, you can grab a free 60-day trial of Co-Producer right now.
Final Thoughts
Output Co-Producer isn’t just a plugin — it’s a new way to create. Whether you’re a beatmaker tired of digging or a producer looking to level up your sound selection, this tool is going to change your workflow forever. Big shoutout to the Output team for hosting such a rad event — and for continuing to build tools that actually listen to the needs of modern music creators.
