Now Available: Access Your PSE Sounds Seamlessly in basehead

Written by PSE | Oct 2, 2025 2:30:10 PM

Instant access to your PSE sounds and libraries, directly inside basehead.

We're excited to announce a new integration that makes your sound workflow even smoother: Pro Sound Effects libraries are now directly accessible in basehead, the powerful sound effects database manager trusted by sound designers and audio teams worldwide.

Now, basehead users can log in with their PSE credentials to access all licensed PSE libraries alongside their local sound databases – without leaving the basehead interface.

Seamless Sound Discovery, Wherever You Work

Whether you're crafting cinematic soundscapes, mixing immersive game audio, or turning around fast-paced agency projects, this integration helps you:

  • Find the right sound faster: Search your PSE cloud library and local drives from one centralized place
  • Stay in the zone: No app-switching or downloading required to use PSE libraries in basehead, saving time and hard drive space
  • Remain in sync: Your PSE licenses follow you across machines via your basehead license
  • Instant access: As you acquire new sounds and libraries from PSE, they’re immediately available in basehead

It’s just one more way we’re meeting sound professionals where they work with flexible, intuitive access to sounds with tools they trust.

Who’s It For?

This integration is built for sound designers, editors, and creative audio teams. If you already use basehead and license sound libraries from PSE, this update is a no-brainer. If you’re new to PSE and looking to expand your library, any sounds you purchase will be instantly available in basehead.
