CRATE DIVE — AI SAMPLE DISCOVERY FOR PRODUCERS Drop any track. Crate Dive's AI finds every sample-worthy moment — loops, breaks, vocal chops, melodic hooks, transitions — in seconds. Cut a 20-minute crate dig down to 3. Built for hip-hop beatmakers, lo-fi producers, trap heads, EDM producers, DJs, and remixers who'd rather make beats than scrub waveforms. 3D WAVEFORM (NEW IN 2.0) A live 3D waveform that moves with the music. Pick a loop and the view frames it. Pinch to zoom, tap to seek, or switch back to 2D. PADS (NEW IN 2.0) Play any loop as 16, 8 or 4 chops. Flow mode keeps the loop running while you jump around; Chop mode plays each pad once. Tap a pad to drag its start and end, snapped to 1/16 notes or free. AI LOOP RANKING The algorithm scores every loop on boundary seamlessness, harmonic richness, and beat alignment — then surfaces the top 5, starting on the downbeat. The flip-ready ones first. BPM & KEY DETECTION 95%+ accurate BPM finder. Full key and scale detection. Manually adjust either with one tap. Perfect for harmonic mixing and matching samples to your project. SAMPLE POINT DETECTION AI marks every drum break, melodic hook, vocal chop, riser, build, and drop. Each detection comes with a reason tag so you know why it was flagged and a confidence score from 60–100%. STEM SEPARATION (PRO) Studio-grade stem splitter. Isolate vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments in one tap. Mute and solo stems on the pads, and see where each one comes in on its own waveform.
