Life

In a world where ready-made presets and loops have made music-making a lot easier, it has also made music less personal. Life by XLN Audio enables you to easily capture your life moments and instantly create beats -- adding life to your music. 

Life from XLN Audio shortens the path from experiencing the moment to hearing it as beats in your music. Capture a dripping faucet, kitchen appliance, or amp crackle and it will instantly appear in the Life by XLN Audio plugin. The plugin automatically slices, processes, and generates beats so you can focus on capturing moments and creating beats. 

Capture Moments Everywhere

The Life Field Recorder is an iOS and Android-compatible app that enables you to record anything using your phone, instantly making it available in the Life by XLN Audio plugin. The Life DAW Recorder enables you to record in high fidelity from your DAW, utilizing any instrument, microphone or outboard gear you have connected. You can also import audio or video directly from your phone or your computer, creating beats from moments you already cherish.

Create Beats Instantly

The Life By XLN Audio plugin is the heart where all the beat-making takes place. Select a recording and Life by XLN Audio automatically generates beats. Audition endless variations of beats, find your favorite happy accident, and start tweaking. Tweak your beat using features like Sound Variation and Pattern Variation, or go even deeper into the details by editing Slice Points, FX or sequencers. Life by XLN Audios' easy-to-use workflow is made possible using Machine Learning models, powering features such as Beat and Sound Variations as well as Density, Syncopation, and Symmetry controls.

Add Life To Your Music

Life by XLN Audio allows you to take a step away from sample libraries and take a closer look at your own life to find inspiration. You can use beats generated by Life as a starting point or as a personal touch together with your other go-to tools for beat-making. You might find yourself looking at your own life in a completely different way, constantly on the search for new sounds.
