what ya'll do?

[that kid]

how do ya'll organize your samples and sounds is there a program to do this i need suggestions on how i can acess my sounds quick but also be able to acess my whole sound library at once....i already have a bunch loaded into FL. what do ya'll cats do?

 

[eXampuL_oNe]

Keep them organized.. And in fruity loops have them easily accessible.. Meaning put them into the control panel rather than having to load each sound individually, I ave seen some cat's do this and it is kin of retarted (imo).. But, yeah, quick and easy access is always essential...

 

[Greg Savage]

I Arrange them in kits.. this way when I need to get a few projects done
( dont matter what style) i can Jump right in Because i know where my sounds are How they are Mapped out Routed etc Keeps me Consistant when laying tracks

I agree with Nnxt:
I don't use samples, save drumssounds. But those are catigorized in folders of hats, b-drum, snare, ride....etc.
So do this with every sound. Like violin, piano.
Or man, if you search for samples for the tracks. Why not put them in a separate folder for that track aswell man.

peace

stuff drums and percs and stuff i keep in various folders.

and the chops from songs are stored in folders with the song name, so I don't forget what I sampled.

^^^LOL

I to have just one massive folder where I keep my samples [not one hits etc], but I work out the bpm and then use that along with the artists and name of the track for the filename.

 

[CampO]

every Song I sample I make a Folder with the Name of it and Name all the Sample After the Song or a Simlar name so i can remember what i sampled I also put the Tempo for All Samples in the name of them

 

[Opera Populare]

for sounds i juss name them folders for ez access and throw it in the packs folder in FL for samples wateva i named the beat have a folder for that wit the samples i chopped in there along wit the original song

my sample name is usually the song that was sampled or the artist. with other instruments I have drums set up into kits that I know the snare, hat and kick work with each other. others 1 shots are seprterated into types, I try to keep it simple
