Haven’t worked with that format. Is it popular?
It’s not remotely popular anymore, so I would totally understand if you can’t be bothered, but it would be useful for me and other wotja users, as that is what the wotja team decided to go with for their samples, due to its tiny file sizes. AASamplePlayer supports it, but few other things do
If I recall correctly Koala supports *.ogg too...
Fwiw, ogg is no more compact than mp4 (m4a is mp4) at comparable audio quality. It is interesting that they haven’t adopted it. Perhaps they have legacy code or a legacy library of audio from before the time when mp4 was so widely supported.
I've done some reading and apparently it's not supported natively on iOS. So probably I'll need to do some digging.
But I have more important features on the list
I'd have to put this one on the bottom
I’ll forward that message to the devs, thnx
Understandable!
No, it doesn’t, unfortunately…already spoke to Marek about this
“ Koala decided to go with FLAC as opposed to OGG, I would love to have both but it means making it work for iOS, Window, Linux, Mac and Raspberry Pi (its built in to Android) - Apple, it seems, don't like OGG and also choose FLAC. I don't know if it's better but it's much more widely used and supported, has both lossless and lossy versions.”
Ooopsie, my bad
I prefer clean *.wav files (with full support for 'meta-data chunks', markers, loop points, bpm, key etc.) so as long as they work I'm happy.
Imo, it isn’t worth adding ogg support given the format being a holdover from 20 years ago [as an mp3 alternative]. It is easy enough for the few users that would need this to convert ogg files to mp4.
Yes, contacted devs already, let’s see their response
Hey guys I've pushed a minor update to fix the Drag To Export feature.
It's a separate button now.
Hi @alecsbuga - huge thumbs-up for the midi file preview! Thanks!
I wonder if it might be possible to have a toggle for switching between piano and a simple GM drum kit sample set. Most of the MIDI files I'd want to quickly preview are GM drum files.
I realize it could be a bigger job than it's worth since that would probably involve some kind of sound font support rather than just a single sample.
Curious, is it worth trying to move all my samples to sample crate? The more I look into it the more it seems like I could benefit from having a dedicated app for all my samples. Files is fine but I have so much other stuff saved there that it can hard to sift through if I’m just browsing samples.
I know its supposed to make ios file system easier and worked out how it worked but forgot. So whenever I see blocked out routing, which would probably happen anyway. I just deleted app.
So an un-warrented bad review from me
but thanks for making the file systen better, I guess.
That's definitely an unwarranted bad review I think. What was greyed out - Audioshare stuff?
@HotStrange you don't move your samples to sample crate. It browses the files system, allows you to audition files very quickly and works in slide over. I hate - yes genuinely hate lol - the way file auditioning works in the aum file player so for auditioning files sample crate can be pretty useful.
I am also thinking of stopping using audioshare and moving my all my samples etc into a folder in the files app. I know people have also mentioned here that you can actually duplicate without taking up more space but this sounds messy to me. I'm just wondering, for existing aum sessions where I was using the file player, would it be able to find the file again if I moved it out of audioshare into a folder on On My iPad?
Quick reminder of sample crate functionality:
Sample Crate allows you to swiftly browse all your sample library on your mobile device.
It can instantly preview any sample by just tapping it.
If you like a particular sample you can add it to the Crate Player where you can play them via pads like on your favorite instrument.
Top features:
• Instant play any sample from your iOS device.
• Create sample kits by tagging your files
• Tags & Favorites are synced via iCloud
• Play your samples via pads
• Export sample chains to use in your favorite hardware sampler or any other iOS Apps
• Batch rename your samples
• Extract audio from videos or screen recordings.
• Use it side by side with Any other iOS app and just drag over your favorite samples.
Ooo.
The auctioning part is actually the biggest issue for me probably. So definitely think I’m gonna look into it. Thanks!
But there's no need to physically move anything to SampleCrate. It's built like a file browser, so it's like Files but with extra stuff like Batch Rename, crates, etc.
For example, I have samples in iCloud, but browse the file system with SampleCrate. So I get audio preview and all that stuff for free
I'm not sure what you mean. What am I blocking?
Yeah, I can’t see what could have been greyed out for this user. Samplecrate has access even to Audioshare.do consider taking back that bad review @sigma79, sounds like user error or something on your end tbh
Apologies.
The file system just got me starting on a random dev.
Its the file system.
Is this app an essential part of anyones workflow? I had wanted to buy it a while back but didn’t want to update my iOS. Now I’m updated I’m wondering if it’s nessesary? I love using AudioShare and use it daily so would sample crate be beneficial?
Yes, still I use it from time to time, mostly for organising files, previewing, rename bulk, and I know there is merge function also (didnt use yet)…. So very important app IMHO.
I use also AudioShare - for different tasks.
Thanks, I'm glad you find it useful man!
I kinda made a "breakthrough" regarding pads latency. Is anyone interested in improving the latency on the Crate Pads? I know some people wanted to use it as a live sample trigger.
Same here, still using it. It's my main sample repo, which other apps reference, such as Drambo, Sitala etc.
Audioshare can only see within its own folders, it has no access to the wider file system. So if you need an app that can quickly preview audio files that are outside the Audioshare folder then Samplecrate is unbeatable.
I use sample crate everytime, but only use drag and drop, never used the crate feature.
Yeah. Me too. I wish Apple adds multi drag support to Logic.
