I have a collection of samples. Some of them are percussive sounds, some of them are weird generated noises, some are long field recordings, some of them processed, some unprocessed…
I have them all on my laptop. I will be feeding them to my OTmk2 when it is finally released, and I think I won’t go outside for days.
But … my samples are a bit all over the place. They have collected over years, and I keep putting them in different places as I create them. I would like to organise them a little better, to give myself an overview.
I’m not obsessive about naming and categorising; I prefer to have a bit of a jumbled mess. But some org would be helpful.
I’m sure I’m not the only one in this situation - how do you manage your collection of samples? Do you tag them with a database underneath? Do you keep them in a nice folder tree? Do you store them in random places on your hard disk, like I do?
