What you hear becomes material.

01 · ANY SOURCE

Sample the whole computer

Capture a browser tab, Spotify, YouTube, generative web audio, or any app using your default Windows output.

02 · ZERO LOOPS

Safe at any routing

Windows process-loopback excludes Ableton before audio reaches the plug-in, so Live can never feed back into itself.

03 · NATIVE WORKFLOW

Record inside the set

Use Live’s own recording tools. Every take lands in the project’s Samples folder, ready for clips, Simpler, or Sampler.

04 · CLEAN AUDIO

No microphone, no room

The signal stays digital: no speaker bleed, room tone, or audio cable between applications.

05 · PROJECT RATE

No format detour

Stereo 32-bit floating-point audio arrives directly at the sample rate selected in your project.

06 · TINY BY DESIGN

Nothing to configure

There is one On/Off parameter. Ableton renders the control natively, keeping the plug-in focused and lightweight.

How to sample

From system audio to Simpler in four moves.

Load the plug-in

Create audio track A and add Audio Quick Sampler. The switch starts On.

Mute track A

Turn off its track activator to avoid hearing the source twice. Post FX remains available.

Route track B

On a second audio track, choose Audio From: A / Post FX, then arm it.

Hit record

Play the source, record the moment, then drag the clip into Simpler or Sampler.

Why mute track A? You already hear the source directly through Windows. Monitoring it through Live again adds roughly 30–50 ms and can cause comb filtering. Muting A removes only that doubled monitoring — track B still records the clean Post FX signal.

Requirements

Small plug-in. Serious shortcut.

Built for 64-bit Windows hosts. It appears under Plug-Ins → VST3 → Saikoapps and also works in other 64-bit VST3 hosts.
