Sononym sample manager9/4/2023 There are another 1-2 pro rated tools for sample management.īut i guess these tools unleash their power only when you´re really deep into these. ![]() I just loaded once the demo, can´t comment further. "audio Finder" seems to be a pro tool for these tasks, ( Demo works for 30 days, check it out ! ) ( if you want it to play, you chose the behave) its a super handy tool. it plays any sample directly when you click the file "snapper" is a very handy tool to have on OSX. What do you do to manage your sample library and everything you produce in the daw ? Are there better ways to do it than just folders on folders and i'm not aware of them ? I think having good habits is key but honestly most sample management tools available doesnt facilitate building good habits. Having folders just like that really sucks to me and even tho that's what i currently use i feel like it's counter productive. But when it comes to longer/different stuff there aren't any good tools around for sample management. I know for drum samples really nice software exist like XLN audio XO which really are super nice to use. I was looking at tools that can do it out of ableton. ![]() You can't tag with multiple things nor color nor arrange them well fast. The browser suck and really it's not of much use. I've used these files and chopped them up into little pieces to use as rly everything and anything.Ībleton is terrible at sample management. From field recording to samples made in the daw. I have high hopes right now with XY and will maybe update my file management journey for any other musicians looking for a way to combine their software workflows.I've been collecting tons of material over the year. My basic testing over a couple of days has been really fruitful in finding ways to combine all these different softwares around a central file manager that has features useful to me as a musician - e.g., labels, the catalogue, colours and the superb tools and customisation. Bit of a double-bind!Īnyway - this is how I ended up here, at XY. Sample management software in the music world so often lacks the most basic of file management tools - yet can be superb for waveform work. The main music creation software (DAWS) like Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One and others all have file management - but not REAL file management, often restricted to identifying favourites, and grouping into projects etc. This is a little restrictive from my point of view because it makes an assumption about what sound files are most appropriate - and the assumptions are sometimes wrong. Then there is Algonaut Atlas - a well-respected program that focuses on constructing drum and percussion kits based on an 8, 16 or 32 grid layout, using AI to try and identify sounds according to certain parameters. My understanding is that XY will be unlikely to have this functionality - this is ok because XY plays nicely with Sononym. But it does have a functional waveform display which allows me to "crop" files and then drag the results elsewhere. Where Sononym begins to fail is when I want to then organise the files it has found - it has few file management options. ![]() For a musician this is great - I record something in a certain key and can then find other files that have similar audio characteristics. This is great if I want to find a file that "sounds like" another. Some music software like Sononym have sophisticated sound recognition and matching capabilities. Music creation software from Cubase to Ableton Live do have some limited file management but "limited" in so many ways and missing features like file comparison, duplicate finding etc etc. Music files - loops, samples, wavs, recordings, aiff, ogg - are all just files. I have arrived at XY a couple of days ago when my frustration with existing "file management" software for musicians caused me to want to break things!
