WHO WE ARE
Soundtrack Loops was founded by Matthew Yost and Jason Donnelly.
Founded in 2006, Soundtrack Loops has grown into a trusted independent source for royalty-free loops, samples, and sound libraries for music producers, musicians, filmmakers, and composers worldwide. With more than 20 years of combined industry experience behind its roots and a catalog of over 120,000 sound files, the company continues to serve a global community of creators across a wide range of musical genres and production styles.
Soundtrack Loops’ origins trace back to the early days of loop-based music production, when the development of tools like Sonic Foundry’s ACID Pro helped shape a new approach to making music. Building on that foundation, the company has spent years producing, curating, formatting, and distributing sample libraries designed for modern music production workflows.
Over the years, Soundtrack Loops has established relationships with leading music technology companies, software developers, hardware manufacturers, distributors, and digital content platforms. Past and present collaborations include Native Instruments, Antares, 1010music, AudioKit, Muse Group, Acoustica Mixcraft, PreSonus, MAGIX, NAMM, and Humble Bundle, among others.
Beyond music production, Soundtrack Loops has contributed sounds and creative experiences to projects that connect music technology with education, culture, and community. Its work includes contributions to the Grammy Museum’s Sonic Playground exhibit and collaborations supporting music education initiatives. Through partnerships with organizations such as Humble Bundle and Music Will, the company has also helped bring music-making resources to a broader audience.
With a catalog spanning electronic music, hip-hop, cinematic sound design, live instrumentation, and many other styles, Soundtrack Loops remains focused on providing practical, professionally crafted audio resources for creators at every level. Its ongoing commitment to sound quality, creative collaboration, and accessible music production continues to shape the company’s role in the royalty-free audio industry.
Matthew Yost, co-runs Soundtrack Loops alongside Jason Donnelly, founder of Peace Love Productions (est. 2001). The two first crossed paths in 1998 at Sonic Foundry Inc. — the company behind the original ACID Pro DAW, now owned by Boris FX. That shared history in the early days of loop-based production shaped everything Soundtrack Loops became.
Together, Matthew and Jason have produced, formatted, and marketed hundreds of loop packs, and have worked directly with some of the world’s leading audio software companies and hardware manufacturers. Current and past partners include Native Instruments, AudioKit, 1010music, Muse Group, Acoustica Mixcraft, PreSonus, NAMM, Peace Love Productions, and Antares.
Matthew leads Soundtrack Loops’ design, development, marketing, and customer support. He has represented the brand at industry events, cultivated producer collaborations, and released multiple original sound libraries under the Montra alias.
Jason brings decades of production experience through Peace Love Productions, one of the most prolific loop production companies in the royalty-free audio industry. In addition to creating thousands of sounds and sample libraries, he has secured many of Soundtrack Loops’ most significant brand partnerships and licensing agreements, establishing collaborations with leading music technology companies, software developers, distributors, and content platforms. These relationships have helped expand the company’s global reach while bringing Soundtrack Loops content to a wider community of musicians, producers, and composers. Some of those brands include The Grammy Museum, NAMM, Humble Bundle, 1010 Music, Antares, Native Instruments, Magix, Acoustica, Audiokit, and Fanatical.
OBJECTIVE
Soundtrack Loops exists to give producers, filmmakers, remixers, and songwriters immediate access to professional-grade sounds — without the complexity, the clearance headaches, or the price tags that come with traditional music licensing.
Every pack we release is built around one standard: does it hold up in a finished mix? If it doesn’t pass that test, it doesn’t ship. That commitment is why producers keep coming back, and why our sounds have ended up in TV, film, advertising, and chart-level releases across every major genre.
EXPERIENCE
Between Matthew and Jason, Soundtrack Loops represents over 40 combined years of hands-on experience in audio production, sample formatting, and the royalty free music industry. We know sequencers and samplers inside out — and we use that knowledge every day to match producers with the right sounds for their specific workflow and goals.
We’ve been around long enough to have watched trends come and go, and we’re still here because we’ve always prioritized quality over quantity and customer relationships over quick sales. Every support message gets a real response. Every product ships ready to use. That’s not a policy — it’s just how we operate.
