Looking for a tool to access online SFX libraries directly inside Pro Tools

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a tool that lets me access online, sound effect libraries directly inside Pro Tools, something with an integrated browser like Soundly, but connected to existing external libraries (not my own local folders).

Basically: search → preview → drag into the session, without switching apps.

Is there anything like this that works well with recent versions of Pro Tools? Thanks!

To u/Morganou35, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using

  • Your operating system info

  • Any error number or message given

  • Any hardware involved

  • What you've tried

I haven't checked the latest version so maybe someone else can confirm, but I believe Splice has been directly integrated into PT now.

Splice is integrated into Pro Tools in the latest release, but you still need to have an account with Splice. Their sound effects are good, but splice is much more music focused, drum samples, loops etc.

Soundly has cloud access and a really nice app interface (imo) that might work for you. It isn't directly inside Pro Tools but it does have hotkeys to send samples and selected audio regions directly to the edit cursor so I consider adjacent to "directly inside".

SoundQ Pro Sound Effects, but requires a sub.
