Jamahook’s Sound Assistant Offline Agent helps producers rediscover sounds from their audio libraries

30 November 2023 - Press release

Jamahook, the AI-powered sound-recommendation tool, is launching Sound Assistant Offline Agent. It’s the first and only plugin that puts the power of AI into the hands of music producers by connecting personal audio libraries with the Jamahook sound-matching technology.  

This plugin allows music producers to bring back to life half-forgotten sounds they created or collected in the past, instantly fitting them to current music projects. It represents the latest evolution of Jamahook’s Sound Assistant, originally launched in March to provide access to an online database of loops. The Sound Assistant plugin is aimed at empowering producers to supercharge their creativity by providing a production assistant that can be seamlessly integrated into their workflow.   

Original musical elements like beats, samples, stems and loops saved in the audio libraries of music producers can over time end up overlooked and lost. Finding the right sounds that may have been created and stored a long time ago can be a difficult and time-consuming prospect. The Sound Assistant Offline Agent is designed to bring these long-forgotten sounds back to the forefront. 

The benefit of Sound Assistant Offline Agent is that producers can be certain that their songs are totally unique, because the only source for recommendation of musical elements is their own audio content. 

How Sound Assistant Offline Agent works 

The plugin deeply analyses dozens of acoustic and psychoacoustic properties in the song a producer is working on and creates data sets for every element. The AI then connects this data to the rhythmically and harmonically resonating elements within a producer's personal library. It can then recommend the right sounds that complement the current project, matching key, tempo and other parameters. The AI algorithm can even incorporate matches that are in different keys by using pitch shifting to suit the current music project. 

The underlying AI sound matching technology for the Sound Assistant has been launched thanks to a partnership between Jamahook and the Fraunhofer Institute renowned for conducting cutting-edge research in audio analysis and the invention of the mp3 format.  

How to get Sound Assistant Offline Agent 

The Jamahook sound matching plugin has been crafted to integrate effortlessly with all major DAWs. While it supports both VST and AU formats, an AAX version tailored specifically for ProTools users is slated for release in 2024. 

The Sound Assistant Offline Agent offers two versions to cater to different needs. The Basic Pack, priced at €49, can accommodate up to 10,000 musical elements. For those seeking unlimited access, the Pro Pack is available for €79. To celebrate the launch, Jamahook is offering a 50% discount on both packs until the end of December. 

Jamahook remains committed to user privacy, ensuring that the Sound Assistant Offline Agent does not access any user information or audio content from their computers. 

Steffen Holly, CEO, Jamahook, commented on the launch: “Jamahook’s mission is to use the power of AI to help producers and artists to work more efficiently and spend less time searching for the next perfect sound. That’s why we’ve launched The Jamahook Sound Assistant Offline Agent. Tracking down the right musical elements that music producers have created in the past can be a tricky business. We’re solving this problem by enabling music producers to quickly and efficiently find awesome sounds in their own libraries that fit perfectly.”
