Loopcloud is a sample-browsing and DAW-integrated plugin from Loopmasters that provides access to millions of curated drums, loops, and music production samples. It works as an AAX plugin within Avid Pro Tools (as well as VST and AU formats in other DAWs) and includes Loopcloud DRUM, an instrument plugin for creating and manipulating drum kits, and the Loopcloud browser for organizing and triggering samples from the Loopmasters library. The software is subscription-based and targets music producers, beatmakers, and sample-oriented composers. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe Loopcloud plugin ships with native Apple Silicon support as of version 6.1 (released in 2021). Since Loopcloud is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools, you need to ensure two things: (1) Pro Tools itself is running a native build (Pro Tools 2023.6 or newer), and (2) Loopcloud is updated to the latest version through Loopmasters' own installer. Visit loopcloud.com and log into your account, then download and run the latest Loopcloud installer for macOS — this will automatically detect your native Mac architecture and install the native AAX plugin. If you are a subscription user, the update is free; simply reinstall over your existing copy and your session files and library access carry over. After installation, quit and restart Pro Tools to load the updated native plugin. You should see noticeably lower CPU usage and better battery life during sample browsing and drum creation compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta.
