All our sounds.

Now or forever.

Probably the coolest sample label from Vancouver, Canada.

We make the most useful sounds and music production tools that we can. We tend to create sounds that are aren't already out there. There are plenty of places you can get the same sounds as everyone else, but that place probably isn't here. We're not trying to be different, just annoyingly open-minded. Honestly, some things we make are pretty niche, and we're ok with that. We're definitely not hipster scum, we promise.

The Sounds

There's more than 100 releases to explore already, plus more sounds added all the time. Our sample packs contain over 13,000 .WAV one-shots and loops that can be used in any software or hardware, and all our audio is 96kHz/24bit because we're nice like that.

It's true, we do make a LOT of Ableton things, and if you're an Ableton user, then there's a lot of Drum Racks, Sampler Instruments, FX Devices, and Synthesizer Presets for you to blow minds with.

Yes! We have Serum and Vital presets.

How it Works

You pay once for Subsocial Now or Subsocial Forever, and then have access to ALL of our releases instantly. Login and download everything you want to start using our sounds right away.

Come back later and login to download all our future releases forever for free if you choose Subsocial Forever.

If you choose Subsocial Now, you'll have 1 month to download anything new that we release.

Watch on Youtube

When you first sign up, and for the first month: nothing!

NOW

If you choose Subsocial "Now" you're free to download everything we've released until now, and for 1 month after your purchase date. After the month ends, you will no longer have access to downloads or new releases. It is not a subscription.

FOREVER

Buying "Forever" means you'll never pay anything ever again for future releases. You pay a one time fee, and that's it. You become a lifelong investor and believer in our releases. It is not a subscription.

"Sounds" means all of our loops, one-shots, sample packs, instruments, software presets, and spatial audio library. Right now, that means everything we've released. Sounds does not include any of our physical products or merchandise.

We encourage you to have a look and listen through our current releases and see what sorts of sample packs, instruments, and presets we have, and what software or hardware they're made for. Most our releases have audio files and/or MIDI files that can be used in any software, and many releases also have instruments and/or presets that are software/DAW/sampler/synth specific. Our catalogue is growing and becoming more diverse with each release.

Don't see enough of what you're looking for? Let us know!

Any of our releases with one-shot .WAV samples or loops will work with any software or hardware.

You can make your own drum kit or instruments with these samples.
You can import our samples into a different sampler of your choice.
You can drag and drop any of our audio files into any DAW you like.

Ableton

Any Ableton release needs some version of Ableton 11 or later.
Be aware that Ableton releases require a specific Intro, Standard, or Suite "Edition" of Ableton to work.
Max for Live Devices require Ableton Suite Edition.
Some releases have Ableton devices and presets, but also contain audio that can be used in any DAW software.
If you're not an Ableton user, sometimes you really miss out, but other times the Ableton stuff is just a bonus or optional.

Serum is needed for our Serum presets. (Serum is not free.)

Vital is needed for our Vital presets. (Vital is free.)

Spatial Audio files need a DAW that's capable of playing back multichannel .WAV files, and can decode/playback First Order Ambisonic formats. (FOA)

We plan on creating releases for other software and hardware in the future. Trying new things is inspired by the feedback we receive from our customers and members, culture, popular culture, music trends, tech trends, and our own curiosities and moods.

Our Ableton specific releases are made for Ableton 11 and later. We try to move forward with new versions of Ableton quite quickly while bridging the gap between major releases.

Currently there are:

60 Ableton 11+ Releases
24 Ableton 12+ Releases

Broken down into Ableton Editions:

Ableton Intro Releases : 17
Ableton Standard Releases : 9
Ableton Suite Releases : 59

Hot tip: Every release in our catalogue has software requirements listed on its product page.

There is no catch.

For Subsocial Forever, you pay once and you receive access to all our current and future releases forever.

For Subsocial Now, you pay once and get all our current releases at the time of purchase, and for the following month. After the month is over, you no longer have access to downloads or future releases. You should download what you want to keep during the month that you have access.

As more sounds are added, the price for entry to Subsocial Forever and Subsocial Now will increase. Our early supporters will always benefit the most, and new members will allow us to grow the catalog of sounds.
