Sample Enrichment

Sample processing in Sample Vault is split into two distinct stages, followed by automatic enrichment:
  1. Analysis — Local audio processing that extracts tempo, key, spectral features, and sound characteristics. Deterministic, fast, and free.
  2. Indexing — AI scans your directories and generates relevant labels: genres, tags, creators, and sample packs. Costs 20 credits per indexed folder.
After indexing, enrichment automatically matches the AI-generated labels to individual samples at no additional cost.

How to Use

Index a Directory

Right-click any directory in the File Browser and select Index Directory. The AI will scan the folder’s contents and generate labels based on filenames, folder structure, and audio content.

Enrich Samples

Right-click a directory and select Enrich Samples to match AI-generated labels from indexing to individual samples in that directory. Enrichment runs automatically after indexing, but you can trigger it manually if needed.
Enrichment requires the directory to be indexed first. If you haven’t indexed a directory yet, run Index Directory before enriching.

Managing Enrichment Labels

Control which AI-detected labels are allowed to be assigned to your samples in Settings > Processing > Enrichment Labels. From here you can manage four label categories:
  • Genres — AI-detected genre classifications
  • Tags — Descriptive labels (e.g., “dark”, “punchy”, “ambient”)
  • Creators — Detected sample pack creators or artists
  • Sample Packs — Detected sample pack names
Toggle individual labels on or off to control what gets assigned. Disabled labels won’t appear on any samples, even if the AI detected them.
If the AI assigns labels that don’t match your library, disable them in Enrichment Labels rather than manually editing each sample. This keeps your library clean without extra work.
