What it is

WAVS is an online marketplace for licensing music samples and loops for music production. Its catalog includes more than 100,000 samples, stems, presets, and MIDI files, and users can search for similar sounds by uploading audio or MIDI references. The desktop app and Bridge support playhead and tempo sync, key transposition, and dragging samples into a DAW. WAVS lists Bridge compatibility with Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Cubase, and Reaper. Downloads use credits: one for one-shots, two for MIDI, two to three for samples, four for presets, and five for stems. Visitors without accounts can preview up to 15 samples daily; free accounts can preview 25, but downloads require an active subscription. Starter costs $8.99 a month and Pro costs $13.99 a month. A 1.00 USD first-week offer includes 10 download credits and unlimited plays, then renews monthly at the Pro plan price shown on the page. Nearly half of WAVS samples are royalty-free; royalty-bearing samples may require clearance after one million streams or a major-label release.
