We’re excited to roll out a feature that’s going to improve your sample search experience: the Duration Filter! This will help you find samples based on specific time durations, making your search process faster and more efficient.

Here’s how it works and why you’ll love it.

What’s New?

🔍 Precise Duration Search: Adjust the slider to set your desired sample length. Whether you need a short clip or a longer loop, you can now find exactly what you’re looking for.

Why You Should Use the Duration Filter

Finding the perfect sample can make or break your track. Here’s how the Duration Filter can help:

🎯 Be Specific: Narrow down your search by setting an exact duration range.

⚡ Be Quick: Quickly locate samples that fit the exact length needed for your project, saving you time and energy.

🎨 Get Creative: Discover a wider array of samples that match your timing requirements, get new creative ideas.

🔊 Find New Sounds: Uncover new samples that you might have missed otherwise.

🔧 Be Precise: Find samples that fit perfectly into your track without needing to edit the length.

🔗 Combine Filters: Use it alongside other search filters like tempo (BPM), key, and mode to refine your search results further.

Other than the Duration Filter, you can combine other search options to help you find the ideal sound at Sample Focus:

🎼 Tempo (BPM): Adjust the tempo slider to match your project's beats per minute, ensuring your sample fits into your track.

🎹 Key and Mode: Find samples that blend harmoniously with your composition by selecting the key and mode.

🏷️ Tags: Use the Include Tags and Exclude Tags fields to specify the characteristics you need and filter out what you don’t, saving time and mental energy.

📋 Organized Results: Sort your results for quick access to the most relevant samples.

When It’s Useful for You

Here are a few scenarios where the Duration Filter can be particularly handy:

🔄 Loop Creation: If you need a loop that’s exactly 4 seconds long, set the filter to 4 seconds and browse all available samples.

💥 Sound Effects: Find quick sound effects that last less than a second by adjusting the slider to a maximum of 1 second.

🌊 Background Layers: For adding subtle background layers, filter for longer durations to find samples that sustain throughout your desired section.

Try it out!

Ultimately, this new feature lets you find precise sounds based on your specific needs. It's part of what makes Sample Focus the web's most organized sample library.
