Finder Audio Tools

Some samples blast, others whisper — Finder Audio Tools levels them out so every sound plays at a consistent volume. That makes it way easier to compare samples fairly and pick the right one on the first listen.

See the shape of a sound before you play it. Choose how and where waveforms show up as you browse, so you can spot transients, loops, and silence without hitting play every time.

Found a sound you like? Drop it in a Stash. Group samples by project, drum kit, or favorite effect, then drag the whole stash into any app, DAW, or sampler when you're ready to use them.

Preview MIDI files in real time and hear Native Instruments presets — including Kontakt, Massive, Battery, and Reaktor — play automatically as you browse NKS-compatible libraries.

Finder gets native support for formats it normally can't touch, including REX/RX2, FLAC, WavPack, and NCW, so your whole sample library becomes browsable in one place.

It lives in your menu bar, stays off your Dock, and uses zero CPU when you're not using it. Your files stay exactly as they are — Finder Audio Tools only changes how you preview them, not what's on disk.
