How it works
Four steps from idea to sample.
1. Describe the sound
Write the type, key, BPM and texture in one line, the way you would label a file in your crate.
Prompt recipe
What goes in a sample prompt.
A good sample prompt reads like a note to a session player. Say what to play, how it should sound and how long it runs.
- Instrument: Rhodes, snare, sub-bass
- Key and BPM: A minor, 90 BPM
- Texture: tape saturation, dusty, dry
- Length and loop: four bars, loop or one-shot
Warm Rhodes chop, A minor, 90 BPM, tape saturation, 4 bars, loop
Old way, new way
Crates, clearance or generate.
Digging, licensing and recording your own all work. Here is how each compares with describing the sound to Frameo.
| Compared | Crates, licensing, recording | Generate with Frameo |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Digging takes hours of listening. Licensing and recording add setup, sessions and editing before you hear a usable sound. | You write the sound as a prompt and audition the take. No crate, no session, no mic setup. |
| Clearance | Sampled records need clearing before release. Licensed packs come with terms you have to read and track. | You retain ownership of what you make. The Terms of Use set out the full position. |
| Key and tempo match | A found sample rarely lands in your key or BPM. You pitch, stretch and repair it to fit. | Write the key and BPM into the prompt, then check the take against your session. |
| Variations | One record gives you one sound. A new version means more digging or another recording session. | Run the prompt again, change one detail and audition several takes side by side. |
AI sample generator questions
An AI sample generator is a tool that makes a sound from a text description. You retain ownership of what you make. The Terms of Use set out the full position.
Yes. Write the key and BPM into your prompt, then audition the takes and keep the one that sits in your session.
You take the finished stem into your DAW and build on it there. Check the export options in Frameo for the exact file types before you start.
Ask for a loop and give it a set length, such as four bars. Then check the join when you audition, and run another take if the seam shows.
Your turn
Describe the sample you need.
Write the sound, the key and the tempo. Frameo opens with your words filled in, ready to generate and audition.
