Find it. Audition it. Send it to your DAW.
AudioScout 1.1 is a fast, local-first sound effects workflow application for sound designers, editors, post-production professionals, podcast producers, game-audio creators and anyone working with large local SFX libraries.
Point AudioScout at the sound libraries you already own — including libraries stored on external drives — and turn them into a fast searchable local index.
Search by filename, folder context and supported embedded metadata. Audition results instantly, scrub through waveforms, select the exact region you need, experiment with Varispeed or Reverse, build a Queue and deliver sounds without modifying your original files.
Core workflow: Search → Audition → Queue → Deliver

Direct DAW workflows
On supported macOS setups, AudioScout 1.1 provides direct workflows for:
Pro Tools
Spot a selected sound directly to the selected track and cursor position. Requires Pro Tools 2025.6 or later.
Nuendo
Direct sound insertion and ordered Queue delivery through the bundled AudioScout Nuendo Bridge.
REAPER
Dedicated bridge integration with one-time setup and automatic startup on future launches. No ReaPack or SWS extension required.
AudioScout can also export individual sounds or complete Queues to any project folder, so the core workflow does not depend on a supported DAW.
External Sources
AudioScout includes an optional External Sources workspace for discovering compatible online sounds and downloadable free SFX libraries.
Online results remain separate from your Local Library, while compatible downloadable packs can be extracted and indexed locally.
Third-party availability and licensing depend on each provider.
Local-first
No AudioScout account. No subscription. No cloud lock-in.
Your local libraries remain on your computer or external drives.
The core local-library workflow works offline.
