// SampleGrab v0.1 interface
Record any sound from any tab with professional-grade controls. Gain, limiter, waveform editor, retro-rec — everything a producer needs, built right into Chrome.
Dial in the perfect input level with a precision rotary knob. Boost quiet streams or tame loud sources — from −18 dB all the way up to +12 dB.
Never clip a recording again. The built-in limiter with configurable attack and release times protects your recordings from sudden loud transients.
Professional stereo level meter with peak hold and clip indicator. Monitor both L and R channels independently while you record.
Watch your recording build in real time on the scrolling waveform canvas. Annotated with time markers for instant orientation.
Always-on background buffer captures the last 30s, 60s, or 5 minutes — even before you hit record. Never lose that perfect moment again.
Trim, select, loop and normalize your clips directly inside the extension. No need to open a DAW for quick edits.
All your clips stay in a built-in library. Export individual files or bundle everything into a single ZIP archive — one click.
Auto-normalize on stop, auto-download, Save As dialog, custom download subfolder — tune the workflow exactly to how you work.
Core recording features are completely free. No account needed, no watermarks, no time limits on recordings.
Add SampleGrab to Chrome in one click from the Web Store. No sign-up, no setup wizard, no nonsense.
Navigate to YouTube, Spotify, a podcast, a video call — anything. Click the record button and SampleGrab starts capturing the tab's audio.
Trim, normalize, and download as MP3 or WAV. Your clips live in the built-in library until you're ready to export.
Too quiet and you lose dynamic range. Too loud and you clip. Learn how to use SampleGrab's gain knob and brick-wall limiter to nail the perfect level every time.
