Import It
Import your existing audio assets with a simple drag and drop to get up and running quickly. Import text files to quickly add metadata for existing audio assets.
Organize It
Organize your assets according to their structure on your system, in the form of Libraries. You can also create Sets to organize your assets by project, talent, character, time frame, or any criteria you desire. In addition, you can create Smart Sets according to any set of criteria and Library Monkey will keep them up-to-date as you add and modify assets.
Find It
In addition to creating Smart Sets, you can find specific assets quickly using the search bar. The search can be global or limited to specific Libraries or Sets. You can perform searches inside search results as well. Once you have found specific assets, store them in the Bin while you search for more. Once finished, select all the assets in the Bin for processing.

- Process assets with your favorite presets with a simple drag-n-drop using Droplets.
- Quickly open your selected assets in another application, such as an editor or DAW directly from Library Monkey.

User-Defined Fields
