Help With Searches

Quick Searches

The quick search dropdown lets you find loops, tracks, or acapellas that were:

• Uploaded in the last 24 hours
• Uploaded this week
• Marked as favorites
• Previously downloaded

Results are sorted by upload date, with newest items first. You can refine these results further using the Advanced Search options.

Using Advanced Search

For best results, start with selecting a Genre or Category. Then narrow down by Key or BPM if needed.

Keyword Search Tips

• Avoid category terms like "drum" or "guitar"
• Avoid genre terms like "trap" or "hip hop"
• Avoid basic terms like "loop", "acapella", or "vocal" (these are ignored)
• Use + to include terms and - to exclude terms
• For multiple words, connect them with + (no spaces)

Note: Keyword searches are sorted by relevance first, then by upload date.

Example Searches:

• +abba - Find files containing "abba"
• -rubbish - Exclude files containing "rubbish"
• +abba-motorhead - Find "abba", exclude "motorhead"
• +abba+disco - Find files containing both terms
• +travis+scott - Correct way to search multiple words
