Hi all, I’ve had a really fun first couple of months with my OT, but am starting to run into a couple of annoying workflow issues regarding sample saving.
situation: you’ve just recorded something groovy into a recording buffer and want to save it for posterity, since as we all know the buffers are volatile.
I learned the hard way not to choose ‘save and assign to self’ when saving a copy of a buffer to a flex, since it assigns it to the buffer location, which is obviously overwritten on the next pass.
So now I’m doing ‘save and assign to free flex/static’, then configuring my machine. Problem is, every bank and project dumps these saved files in the root audio pool folder. The result is the my audio pool is a huge mess, with no option to move or reorganise anything because that breaks machine assignments.
I’ve read a little about the ‘collect samples’ menu option, which copies all the samples to the project directory. Is this the only solution or am I missing something more obvious?
Any discussion about file organisation and workflow is more than welcome! Cheers!
