How to Import Sounds.com Samples into a DAW

This article shows how to import samples acquired from the Sounds.com website into your DAW.

1. Log into your Sounds.com account with your Native ID.
2. When you find a sample you want to use, click the downward arrow on the right side of the sample, as shown below.
   
3. Navigate to your Downloads folder, where the sample has been saved.
   

   Note: We recommend saving your samples to a different folder dedicated to your downloaded samples and keeping them organized however you prefer (e.g. by tempo, by instruments, or by key, etc.)

4. To load a sample, simply drag & drop the sample into your timeline. In the example below, we are dragging and dropping the sample onto a pre-existing track in Logic Pro X.
   
5. Additionally, some DAWs offer the option to drag & drop a sample below your tracks and will automatically create a new track for it. Logic Pro X offers this option, as shown below.
   

This process is similar when using any DAW.
