![]() If you find a new DAW or sample browser in the future Soundminer will be able to export all metadata into another format because it has deep export options including the ability to execute python scripts or export to Sqlite ect ect. Then have Soundminer read/write & convert it all. Take note of what metadata both your DAW & Sample browser are simpatico. In this video I explain what's wrong with most sample manager/librarian tools, and why Sononym is my favorite because it avoids these typical pitfalls AND it. Then see what metainfo your go to file browser reads/writes. My suggestion is take the 90 day Soundminer trial, see what information your workhorse DAW can read/write. Have 2 huge maps for Battery and NI Synthetics Drums. I find it best to have a seperate map for each kit and then Ill combine all creators into one big kit (Samples For Mars for example). Soundminer at least has the ability to convert anything it reads into many different formats. Its written so many good drum patterns just using random kits and randomising the sequences. ![]() Combine this with powerful tools for searching, filtering and sorting samples, and you might just fall in love. Great for all users, both novice and technical as its simple interface facilitates the search. Some write in iXML chunks, others only read/write proprietary data. Sononym extracts a great deal of information from your samples and puts this information at your fingertips, including 'exotic' properties that you might not find elsewhere: perceived brightness, crest factor and timbre, to name a few. In conclusion, Sononym is a handy tool that uses samples to find related audio files on the web. Synonyms provide a level of security by hiding the name and owner of a schema object such as a table or a view. Even library managers cant agree to adopt universal standards. This section introduces you to Oracle synonyms that help you create aliases for schema objects such as tables, views, materialized views, sequences, procedures, and stored function. Ableton all read/write metadata differently. And in the meanwhile i'll keep waiting for updates on Sononym. ![]() If Atlas ever goes on sale i'd probably pick it up. XO is more build around their sequencer, Atlas worked a bit faster and easier for me. The biggest problem with sample managers is they lack the ability to easily handshake metadata fields. XO and Atlas are cool, but only work with drum samples and i noticed with both that they 'missed' a lot of drumsamples on my system. Yes its Hella expensive, but the features are unmatched, & it also has UCS built in which is quickly becoming an industry standard since its deployment. Such situations are part of everyday life in studio or production work. Everything fits, it only needs to sound a bit more complete, and a couple of additional effects would be nice. ![]() How professional do you want your libraries to be organized? If you want the industry standard then I suggest Soundminer Pro. The track is cool, the melody is catchy, the beat grooves. ![]()
