How do you organize sounds/instruments that you like from different apps?
Okay, before this thread seems like dejavu, I was asking because there are so many apps that I use. With each app, I create different sounds/instrument patches that I like. But it’s so easy to forget what you did a few months ago. What do you recommend?
I was looking at how Kontakt sound kits are made using samples, and I figured if I record some samples, I could layer them into an instrument patch to recreate the sound. The tool that made the most sense for this was AudioShare to store the audio, and BeatMaker (to store small sections of the sample - say from C1 to C7), while assigning it to a “Favorite Bank’.
Would this be an optimal way of doing this? Or is there any other recommendations? I was also thinking of using AudioBus/AUM and saving individual patches, although there’s the possibility that the app I’m using may get “updated” and cease to be compatible - E.g FM Player being updated to FM Player 2 (100/10 update, although my presets no longer worked).
Comments
I find the loss of flexibility with sampled instruments too limiting so, I really only use it for IAA apps that don't have state saving, or patches that kill performance. I realize I'm out of the mainstream that way.
I rely heavily on Audiobus saved sessions. That way I save all the apps in the chain. The downside is IAA apps that don't have state saving. The other issue is not having a folder structure to work with. So, naming becomes key. The good thing is rather than scrolling through zillions of presets, with good naming, the Audiobus search box helps me to find what I want super quickly.
You could also make instruments in AudioLayer, chameleon, Cubasis to name but 3
I go through Audioshare every month and make mini folders and properly label sounds I did. Then compress and send them to the cloud.
Delete all file folders and start fresh monthly
I do this on iPhone since I do many sound edit developing on road and then use them in studio later.
