You know the sound, but not the filename
With SFX Stacks
Use AI to search with plain words and get relevant results from your own library.
Why the workflow is faster
Stop digging through folders to find the right sound
SFX Stacks gets you from first query to a usable sound faster, with search, preview, AI similarity search, and export in one place.
You find one close result, then have to start over
With SFX Stacks
Start similarity search from a result or a dropped reference sound.
You have too many similar sounds to listen through manually
With SFX Stacks
Use AI to narrow the shortlist faster so you spend less time clicking through almost-right sounds.
Your library is large, local, and not something you want to upload
With SFX Stacks
Search the library you already have, without moving files into a cloud workflow.
Inside the app
From search to usable sound in one view
Type what you need, preview the results, then branch into AI similarity search to uncover nearby options you would not have searched for directly.
Start with a simple search
Type what you need and see relevant results from your local SFX library.
Branch from the result you found
Use a result as a starting point for similarity search.
Use metadata when you need more control
Start with metadata search when you want to narrow the result set, then continue with similarity search from there.
Preview and export in the same place
Check the waveform, select the usable part, and export it without switching to another tool.
Used in real workflows
Built for sound designers with large local libraries
For sound designers, editors, and game audio professionals who need faster ways to search large local sound effects libraries and explore their own material.
What users say
“SFX Stacks has quickly become a staple in my sound design workflow. I know my libraries like the back of my hand, yet contextual search always returns some unexpected results that lead me down new and interesting creative paths. Great as both an everyday tool, and something to reach for when you're stuck.”
Jonathan Miller
“It really helps me start conceptualizing sound because it gives me great results right from the start. After a semantic search, I expand my options in a particular direction by performing a similarity search. At this point I have already populated my timeline with lots of usable source. The fact that I can also start a regular filename/metadata search and then similarity search over it is just the icing on the cake.”
