Hello,
I find Aural Probe is a great and useful program. No more crashes on my Win 7 64 with the last update !
A few points that I think may be nice for next updates :
- Possibility to add a folder (without scanning)
for example
Kicks (Search)
Snares (Search)
...
Single-cycle waveform (folder)
etc...
- Waveform display ^^
- more formats (I think about rex files if possible)
- more search criterion (for example possibility to specify waveform lenght, bitrate, number of channel, samplerate, etc..)
- detect bpm (for loops)
Thanks

Excellent suggestions, thanks a lot for the ideas!On the idea of adding folders alongside the categories: What I want to do here is add "smart categories" (like smart playlists in iTunes - http://km.support.apple.com/library/APP ... 001-en.png (http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/HT4387/HT4387_01---001-en.png) ) - this will allow you to create categories not just based on keyword matches (like it is now), but also on things like path (so you can add specific folders like your suggestion), date modified, file size, file type, duration, bit rate, sample rate, number of channels etc.
I will be adding waveform display to the next version too, it's very useful.
REX files are tricky as they're a proprietary format not natively handled by FMOD (the sound engine I'm using), but I'll see what I can do.
I will also be adding the ability to sort samples within a category by name, date modified, path, file type, file size, bit rate, sample rate, channels, duration etc.
One thing I'm thinking about at the moment which would be pretty awesome is doing some deep analysis of each sample. It would determine from the waveform if the sound is a one-shot sample (eg. a drum hit), or a loop, or a reversed one-shot (eg. a reversed cymbal). You could then use this classification in your smart categories, eg. for kicks you could make it match "kick" in the filename, but also require that the sample be a "one-shot". This should eliminate a lot of the false matches in the categories.
BPM detection is also a good idea for loops - it should be pretty easy to do based on the duration of the loop and a min/max BPM range.
Thanks again for the feedback!
Michael

Aural Probe looks very promising - I will test it at the weekend...
Until now the only program who could convince me was "Sample Librarian" by RYAudio but it would be great if there were more choice. There are many musicians with tons (GB) of samples, and a clever way to organize them would be very appreciated!

Thanks for your great answer and great ideas. If you manage to implement all that stuff, Aural Probe will be a top-notch sample manager

Michael, you can take a look on my article about REX files, source code is in C#a1studmuffin wrote: REX files are tricky as they're a proprietary format not natively handled by FMOD (the sound engine I'm using), but I'll see what I can do.

Aural Probe is a nice program, and the MPC-style view of the samples is an useful idea because it's fun to play with the samples like on a drum pad...
Only the search criteria could be much finer, with wildcards and other stuff but at least Aural Probe is on a good way, and with a truck load of more features I could even imagine it to become commercial.

I'm always a little bit disappointed when I hear this...it seems transforming a freeware in a commercial app, is ALWAYS the ultimate goal. In fact, most of them do this for the fun, and it should remain as is. a freeware can be better than an commercial app, don't you think so ? In most cases we have a job to live properly. This is why everytime somebody ask me to sell Universal Patch Finder (and taking benefits on it) I decline. It simply doesn't make sense to me.I could even imagine it to become commercial.

Hi,
As I don't see so many linux organizers in this thread:
I use 'samplescan', its a tiny commandline utility which automatically tags samples based on keywords on a daily/weekly base:
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/all/sam ... ically_lin
Not for the fainthearted I guess, but I'm too lazy to tag manually these days.
UPDATE: I'm using this far more superior solution called 'Unix Sample Manager' which also searches thru networkdisks / offline disks etc:
see: https://github.com/coderofsalvation/usm

You might wanna add www.resonic.at to the 'Free' category, www.resonic.at/pro (commercial) is coming soon.

There is this new software called Soundly. It's super fast in its workflow and supports Sound Miner data support. And it's just 17MB or so. Subscription based access at $15/month that gives you a huge online bank as well.Do check it out at https://getsoundly.com (https://getsoundly.com)

Make sure you give Atlas a look. It uses AI to organize your samples into maps and then runs as beat sampler in your DAW. Can generate kits from your samples in 1 click.

This looks very interesting. Is there any danger, that the organizer messes up your present computer file structure, i. e. does the AI move physically the locations if the files? And if you uninstall the application, do everything remain the same as pre-installation?timnoric wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 3:42 am Make sure you give Atlas a look.
