What it does

Tags

Tag a few sounds, not your library

Every other sample tool wants you to organise everything first. AirGear asks for a handful of words on the sounds you actually reach for — "metro boomin", "late 90s", "my go-to". Tag one kick, and the word reaches the kicks that sound like it.

Listening

It hears what every sample actually is

AirGear listens to everything on your drive — how bright it is, how noisy, how hard it hits and how long it rings, where its energy sits from sub to top end — and sorts it into kicks, snares, hats, toms, claps and the rest. Your filenames don't have to make sense.

Search

Search the way you'd say it

Type "southside beats" and get the sounds you tagged "metro boomin". The words look nothing alike — AirGear knows they're the same scene.

Map

See where your sounds live

Every sound in your library, placed by how it sounds, so sounds that resemble each other sit together. The layout holds still, so over time you learn where your kicks live. Search results light up in place: one tight pocket, or scattered corners.

Tag one kick. It reaches its neighbours.
