XLN Audio Life & XO Bundle (Exclusive)

Transform the way you create music with the exclusive Life and XO bundle by XLN Audio, a pair of innovative tools designed to bring fresh perspectives and efficiency to your production workflow.

Life empowers you to turn everyday sounds into unique rhythmic elements, bridging the gap between personal experience and creative expression. Capture the subtle drip of a faucet, the hum of an appliance, or the crackle of an amplifier, and let Life's intelligent engine slice, process, and generate beats from your recordings in moments. With intuitive features like Sound Variation, Pattern Modification, and real-time editing, Life allows you to weave distinctive textures and rhythms into your tracks with ease.

Complementing Life is XO, a dynamic tool that organizes your one-shot samples into a visually rich and intuitive XO Space, where sounds are sorted by similarity. This innovative approach invites you to explore and uncover hidden gems in your sample collection, while the playful sequencer and curated Groove Templates make it effortless to craft intricate, engaging beats. XO's thoughtful design, including features like dynamic accentuation, drag-and-drop simplicity, and the creative Playground Mode, ensures that sound design and beat creation feel fluid and inspiring.

Together, Life and XO provide a seamless fusion of creative spontaneity and technical precision, offering producers an entirely fresh approach to crafting music.

Life

In a world where ready-made presets and loops have made music-making a lot easier, it has also made music less personal. Life by XLN Audio enables you to easily capture your life moments and instantly create beats -- adding life to your music. 

Life from XLN Audio shortens the path from experiencing the moment to hearing it as beats in your music. Capture a dripping faucet, kitchen appliance, or amp crackle and it will instantly appear in the Life by XLN Audio plugin. The plugin automatically slices, processes, and generates beats so you can focus on capturing moments and creating beats. 

Capture Moments Everywhere

The Life Field Recorder is an iOS and Android-compatible app that enables you to record anything using your phone, instantly making it available in the Life by XLN Audio plugin. The Life DAW Recorder enables you to record in high fidelity from your DAW, utilizing any instrument, microphone or outboard gear you have connected. You can also import audio or video directly from your phone or your computer, creating beats from moments you already cherish.

Create Beats Instantly

The Life By XLN Audio plugin is the heart where all the beat-making takes place. Select a recording and Life by XLN Audio automatically generates beats. Audition endless variations of beats, find your favorite happy accident, and start tweaking. Tweak your beat using features like Sound Variation and Pattern Variation, or go even deeper into the details by editing Slice Points, FX or sequencers. Life by XLN Audios' easy-to-use workflow is made possible using Machine Learning models, powering features such as Beat and Sound Variations as well as Density, Syncopation, and Symmetry controls.

Add Life To Your Music
