CARP Audio's Sample Scratcher generates custom scratch loops from any audio file

A web-based tool just turned scratching into a drag-upload-click routine, skipping turntables and spitting out BPM-locked loops on demand.

What Sample Scratcher does

• CARP Audio launched Sample Scratcher as a browser engine.
• Users upload their own audio instead of relying on stock scratches.
• A selected region becomes the source for generated loops.
• The tool targets producers without hardware setups.

How the scratch generation works

• Loops are created in the exact BPM of the project.
• Modeled scratch curves mimic real platter movement.
• Crossfader timing is recreated to match authentic gestures.
• Subtle humanized variation avoids robotic repetition.

Sound design flexibility

• Vinyl surface noise can be layered for extra texture.
• Vocals, drums, synths, or full tracks all work as sources.
• No time-stretching is required after generation.
• Custom scratch material drops straight into a session.
