Life is a product that lets you record sounds from your surroundings and turn those sounds into beats. It runs as a plugin in any DAW that supports 64-bit VST, AU, or AAX plugins, and as a standalone application on Windows and macOS.
Life also has two companions:
- The Life Field Recorder mobile app, available on iOS and Android, which lets you record things when you’re out and about.
- The Life DAW Recorder plugin, which you can put on any track in your DAW to record its output straight into Life.
Internet connection required for syncing between devices
Life uses XLN Cloud Sync to store your recordings and automatically sync them between Life and the mobile app, or between your computers. It also syncs the recordings from your computer to your cloud account when a connection is available. To disable this, there is a Sync to cloud option which can be turned off.
- You can record in the mobile app even when you’re offline. Your recordings are then synced when you go online again.
- You can add source files to your computer and create beats in Life even when you’re offline.
