The deal

$89 at Plugin Boutique (down from $149). Sale ends May 20, 2026.

What it is

Life is a beat-making sampler plugin that turns everyday sounds into musical beats. Record ambient noises through the included iOS/Android mobile app or directly in your DAW, and Life uses machine learning to automatically generate playable beat patterns from those recordings. It ships as a standalone app and VST/AU/AAX plugin with a built-in sequencer and effects for shaping the results.

Who it's for

Beat makers and experimental producers who want truly original percussion without digging through preset libraries. If your workflow relies on organic textures - field recordings, found audio, or household sounds - Life turns that raw material into a live-playable instrument.

Key features

• Field recorder mobile app (iOS/Android) for capturing sounds anywhere, plus an in-DAW recorder for studio-quality input
• Machine learning engine automatically slices and sequences your recordings into rhythmic beats
• Pattern and Sound Variation controls generate new ideas from the same source recording
