Samples Paralysis

So you need a kick sample. None of the one I have works. I try to buy some, but they’re not exactly what I want. Plus I feel bad about using someone else sample for some reason. I’m a musician shouldn’t I create my own sample. Put the purchased sample in my project. Doesn’t really fit, try to filter/effect/tweak it. Still kind of feel like it’s not at the right place.

Curating and Organising personal sample collection

Atlas, XO, other sample managers - your favs and why pls

Software deals on both Atlas 2 and XO got me thinking about getting a sample manager. I’ve checked out some vids and some comments on both - but I’d like to hear your take on them or others. Why you like one vs another, or even if you feel sample managers are maybe not that useful. Smart bunch here, so curious to hear your thoughts!
