SampleSift 1.0 (MacOS) - From Tweakbench! 2026-05-19T07:14:01+00:00 I'm proud to announce my first pure utitlity application for musicians and DJ's. SampleSift analyzes your audio library locally — BPM, key, energy, and tags — so you can find the right kick or bass in seconds, not minutes. No cloud, no signup. SampleSift is the audio sample browser for producers and DJs who have outgrown Finder. Point it at the folders where your samples live. It scans them, analyzes each file locally for BPM, musical key, energy, and content tags, and gives you a fast, searchable library that stays on your machine — no cloud, no account, no subscription. WHAT IT DOES - Audio analysis on your Mac. SampleSift uses Apple's Accelerate and SoundAnalysis frameworks to detect tempo, musical key, energy, and instrument type for every file. Multi-pass: a fast first pass surfaces filename-derived data immediately, with DSP and machine-learning passes refining results in the background while you keep working. - Smart filters and collections. Narrow your library by BPM range, key, channels (mono/stereo), file format, energy, rating, and tags. Combine filters freely, then save the result as a smart collection you can return to with one click. - Filename intelligence. SampleSift reads the naming conventions used by sample packs — "kick_120bpm_Cmin.wav", "Lead 140 F#m" — and pre-fills BPM, key, and tags before any audio analysis runs. Your library is browsable in seconds, not hours. - Audition with waveform preview. Click a file to hear it. Spacebar to play and pause. Loop mode for one-shots-as-loops. Multiple-selection playback for stepping through a folder. - Export curated sets. Filter to exactly what you want for a session, then Copy To drops them into your DAW's project folder. - Watch folders. SampleSift sees new files as they land — drop a fresh pack into a watched folder and it appears in your library without a manual rescan. - Duplicate finder. Find redundant copies of the same audio file across multiple folders by content, not just filename. PRIVACY SampleSift collects no data. It does not connect to the network. It does not phone home for telemetry, updates, ads, or anything else. Your sample library — its contents, filenames, tags, and analysis results — never leaves your Mac. The only directories the app can read are the ones you explicitly grant access to via macOS App Sandbox. REQUIREMENTS - macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later - Apple Silicon or Intel - Works with WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, CAF - SampleSift is built by Tweakbench, makers of small, focused tools for musicians. SampleSift 1.0 for MacOS is available now ($4.99 US): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/samplesift/id6768458757?mt=12 tweakbench https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=5724
