Choose Between Two Match Sources
Match from your local sounds OR get new high-quality loops from the cloud.
Better yet, mix both for endless possibilities! 🎵
Find matches from Jamahook’s cloud and buy the matches you like through a Cloud Loop Subscription
Find matches from your locally indexed files from your Offline Agent
How the Plugin Works
STEP 1
Select Your Match Source
Go to the Match Settings page and choose the matching service of your choice – Cloud Matching or Local Matching.
STEP 2
Let It Listen
Hit Match on the main Match page and let it listen to your mix. This allows the plugin to capture audio for analysis.
STEP 3
Let It Match
Give the plugin a few seconds to analyze the musical qualities of your sound to find you the best possible matches.
STEP 4
Audition and Drag Out
Once your matches are served, you can hit play on any match to hear it with your track. For Cloud Matches, click the “BUY” button to purchase them with your credits.Â
Any loops that you purchase or are from your local storage can be dragged out directly to your DAW.Â
Advanced Filtering
Need something specific for your track? Use the advanced filtering option.
Select any combination of instruments, genres, or moods to only received matches from the specified tags. Find exactly what you need to enhance your track.
INTRODUCING
The Jamahook Offline Agent
Rediscover your own sounds and find matches from them for your current music.
How the Offline Agent Works
STEP 1
Add Folders For Indexing
First, open your DAW and log in on your plugin. The agent will automatically detect and share this login.
Open up the “JamahookAgent” app. Click on the “Add Folder” button to start adding folders for indexing.
STEP 2
Let Primary Indexing Finish
Wait for the progress bar to complete. This bar shows you how many of your sounds are ready for local matching.
STEP 3
Local Matching on your Plugin
Now, go back to your plugin’s Match Settings page and change the match source to “Local Matching” from the Match Settings page. You are now ready to match from your own indexed sounds!
OPTIONAL
Secondary Indexing
There is a “secondary indexing” that takes place in the background which analyzes your sounds even further for better match results. All loops with secondary indexing completed will show a small check sign on the right corner near the delete button.
This allows the plugin to produce more accurate results especially when using filters.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Jamahook Sound Assistant is a creative bundle that includes both the Jamahook Plugin and the Offline Agent.
The Plugin is used as the main interface for matching – whether to find matches from the Jamahook Cloud Library or your own local sounds. The Offline Agent is mainly used to add and manage local sounds on your Mac/PC to your local matching library.
The Jamahook Sound Assistant installer installs both the plugin and the offline agent on to your Mac/PC.
To use the plugin, it must be added as an FX on your Master track so that it can listen to the entire output. You can select where you want your matches from through the Match Settings page – select Cloud or Local matching based on your needs.
Move your trackbar to the beginning of the section you want to match with, press the the Match button, and hit play on you DAW. It will listen to what’s playing and then start to provide you matches.
To get different results, you can make it listen to combinations of soloed/muted stems even from the same section of your project. Additionally, you can use filters to get more specific matches.
The local matching service using the offline agent has a one-time license fee. There are different prices for packages based on the number of loops you can analyze and match with.
To use loops from the Jamahook Cloud through online matching, there are monthly and yearly subscriptions available based on your needs.
The Sound Assistant is free to download and try. You only need to sign up.
You get a 14 day (Basic Plan) for the Offline Agent to try local matching and a 1 month Artist plan that allows you to buy loops from Cloud Matching as well.
With the trial version of the Offline Agent, you can process up to 10,000 loops. You will have to purchase a one-time license to continue using local matching once the trial period is over.
While the Cloud Matching service is always free, you will need a loop subscription once the Artist subscription is over if you want to own and use any loops that you match with.
You are free to use only online, only local, or even both types of matching based on your needs. There is no requirement for you to buy both a license for the offline agent and the online loop subscription. You are free to buy whichever you like.
You can try out online matching for free using just the plugin in guest mode even without an account. But, there are advantages to registering a free account for the plugin such as having the ability to add favourites and getting access to your matching history.
You will, however, need an account to use a trial version of the offline agent.
Currently, the plugin is available as a VST, AU, and AAX plugin for all compatible digital audio workstations (DAW).
Jamahook currently accepts any type of card payments. The offline agent can be purchased with a one-time payment and the online loop subscription has an automatic monthly payment system after the first payment.
We are working to introduce PayPal for our customers soon.

Jamahook uses a unique algorithm, developed in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute, to understand the acoustic and psychoacoustic qualities of whatever it hears – the tempo, harmonic makeup, groove, rhythm, feeling, mood, genre, instrument, and more.
Jamahook’s AI generates a unique musical “signature” whenever a sound is analyzed. It is then used to find matches from other loops in the Jamahook library by comparing with their signatures. The AI’s deep neural networks connect and organize all this musical data in a data-efficient way to facilitate the melodic and rhythmic matching. The overall ecosystem allows Jamahook to not only find suitable matches, but rank them in terms of “match proximity” to ensure that you are provided with the best loops at the top of the list.
