## Soul Sample Library / Catalogue
 
#### Soul songs to sample

Checkout our catalogue for inspiration: press play to start needle-dropping, or use Tracklib’s new [Beat Player](https://www.tracklib.com/blog/beat-player) to find the perfect soul loops. You can even find free soul samples in our [recurring Label Features](https://www.tracklib.com/blog/all), which always include free songs to sample. 
 
#### No soul sample packs: flip real, original music! 
All songs and multitracks on Tracklib are original, previously released, and made by real musicians. This beats premade soul sound packs for obvious reasons: how can something prefabricated have soul? By sampling original music, you capture a spirit and studio sounds that can’t be recreated. From 60s/70s analog aesthetics to the chemistry between musicians in during iconic studio sessions.
