Thanks for bringing Resonic up! I followed the project early on, bought a support license more than 10 years ago, but never used it because it lacked metadata and database support back then.
Now I checked again and I'm not sure they implemented what I need. Basically I need Soundminer minus a dick company or Basehead minus a game ui. Resonic could be all that if they implemented what they planned decades ago. So, does Resonic scan my soundfiles folder, extract the bwf metadata and create a searchable database of those metadata entries? Somehow it seems the main features I supported the company for a still 'planned':

That reminds me mine was corrupted I had to redownload it. I thought it was a just a player for their samples, like theyhad different file extentions just for Momentum

 

That sounds awsome, I will have to check it out for sure.. now about this Serum 3...

 

wow lol 3 hours geez

 

wow

 

I'm going to have to check out this Rando

 

How do you adjust the settings on on quickview?

 

Most of them are like this. Also, the smaller your sample files are; the longer the scan takes. If you scan 100gb of one-shot samples, it's way more files in that same 175gb. It's the same reason why big Midi file collections take forever to do anything with. The number of file operations the computer has to do for each file does not decrease for each file. Programs like XO do even more "work" to add and categorize each file, so the more features and details a sample manager application offers, the slower the scan process. 3 hours is nothing.

 

have fun!

Aaahhhmmmm......this are only my pure wav files....The contents of my Kontakt libraries maybe a "tiny little bit" bigger in size......

 

I hear you, you know I do, but you know me, and how some of us have a lot more that we may not need 'daily', but still need around, and having them "managed" or "cataloged" would be real helpful... I don't need all the crap I have 'live' at all times, and have indexes of my offline drives etc available... but unfortunately with the range of certain stuff I have to work on or access, 175GB's wouldn't even be a lot in 2004 for me.... But yeah, if I'm just sticking to one lane or focused on one thing I am doing, yeah, that would be plenty absolutely...

Yeah, 175GB's might not even cover one Spitfire library ffs... My Kontakt libraries (and while drives aren't as cheap as they were 2 years ago in terms of SSD's, and now hdd's as that jackass turned everyone to my favorite source etc to get large capacity enterprise grade hdd's etc...

but whatever..even with that not killing my wallet necessarily, I don't think I would feel even comfortable to admit the amount of space my Kontakt libraries inhabit... (and I keep the ones in recent/current use on ssd, and older/lesser used but needed or might be/legacy etc on 7200 spinners)...

 

Ahh yea thats makes sense, thats why file moves and tranfers of sample packs take so long to process each individual small loop or one shot.

 

Any update on Serum 3? I know you said its in testing.

 

I have ove 3tb of samples myself. all sorts of akai libraries, kontakt, etc. Yeah I dont use them all every day but using things like loopcloud and sononym are great tools for these large libraries. you can search them quickly and find sounds for projects while in a flow.

my drums and bass elements i keep it pretty close to my fave packs and a handfull of sounds. but if i want an obsure synth, key, world sound i have them all here and ready to go! My workflow might not be yours but i like it!

 

Steinberg Mediabay. Hands down the best

 

3 TB

 

Does that come with Nuedno or Cubase?

 

Samplism .. Thank me later.. but it is only for Mac though. https://audiohelperproject.com/products/samplism/
