Brilliant idea! Like a Zen for samples
I'm gonna wait until the tag/browser thing is installed and usable though.
Two questions.
Does this have DAW integration?
An if not, does it use your default media player(VLC in my case) when auditioning samples?

Yes, but with drag and drop. I've tested it with FL Studio 10 and it worked great (for me)K-Bee wrote:Brilliant idea! Like a Zen for samples

No, it uses his own player, but if you want another program for auditioning then I have to program that. It's a great idea...K-Bee wrote:An if not, does it use your default media player(VLC in my case) when auditioning samples?

What did you miss in the programs you tried? Maybe I can incorporate it in this program.NEKRO.MACHINE wrote:Nice one hope this turns out well as its an issue i have been having for years and never found a solution which suits. Hoping this will be 'the one'

The version I'm working on now has the following specs:
- Drag and drop to other applications (WavLab, Sound Forge, FL Studio ...)
- custom SQL searches
- user defined tags in 4 categories: Timre, Source, Articulation, Genre.
- automatic tagging while you import samples (progam searches for defined tags in filename, file path, riff header, bwf header)

I'v been discussing your program with a friend of mine and he reminded me one similar project
http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2008/ ... organized/ which I think is abandoned now. Don't remember what was wrong and why in never got finished.
I like the free tagging approach there and the random item picker

Ok. I didn't know that, but mine's is more like a database system then a tag system. I copy Sampletaggers features and give my comments on them to compare both programs.toitoi wrote:I'v been discussing your program with a friend of mine and he reminded me one similar project
http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2008/ ... organized/ which I think is abandoned now. Don't remember what was wrong and why in never got finished.
Is this a feature? For me it's part of the gui. Mine sux, but you'll see all the needed information in one glance.SampleTagger wrote: Features:
Clean user interface build around three tabbed views and two tag panels.
That's one approach. I like the database approach.SampleTagger wrote:Classic explorer view with a list synced to a tree.
Mine's scan's just everything.SampleTagger wrote:File scanner with variable scanning depth.
My tagging system is virtually unlimited. You can have unlimit tags in 4 category's. The size depends on ram and diskspace.SampleTagger wrote:Tagging system using 255 user-defined tags.
Currently only wav's but others could be in done. But I don't it very usefull because all the music file are compressed and lesser quality, except (uncompressed) wav. But if you want it, why not...SampleTagger wrote:Audio preview of *.wav, *.aiff, *.flac,mp3.
No midi support for me, but can be done. Again, I don't think it's usefull.SampleTagger wrote:Support for these file formats, including *.mid.
Nice feature. I steal that ideaSampleTagger wrote:Virtual folders view with lists used to hold bookmarked items.
Working on...SampleTagger wrote:Tag editing routines(copy, paste, overpaste, clear, spray) working on multi- item selection.
Sounds like mine's autotag system/filterSampleTagger wrote:Contextual taging and various contextual actions depending on the activeview.
The user can create his/her own search routines if he/she has some SQL knowledge.SampleTagger wrote:Item searches using logical tag filtering routines (AND inclusive, AND exclusive, OR).
See searching logical tag filtering...SampleTagger wrote:Single string searches and dual string searches(AND, OR, AND NOT).
That's fun That shouldn't be to difficult to do...SampleTagger wrote:Random item picker to make unusual sample selections.
Done...SampleTagger wrote:Support for file drop to another application.
Well, that's part of the gui. I have afcourse something similar...SampleTagger wrote:Various application settings allow to change the performances, the behaviour or the look of the software.
Database is saved. The selections could be saved and loaded. Feature is planned...SampleTagger wrote:Save,load library files, maintenance of the library.
Hmm, my English sux so someone else can write that. I think that if I write it, it's totally useless. :lolSampleTagger wrote:Complete menu reference and advanced description of the application in a pdf document.
Mine has a simple gui so the user doesn't have to customize things....SampleTagger wrote: Customisable toolbar.
I'm not saying that my program is the best, because that's definitly not the case. For me is this program a way to relearn programming applications , like i did 15 years ago.

Looks very nice only the left column seems a bit unstructured, I mean the free space could be used for something , liked more the horizontal tag columns.
And I Have a quick idea: the sample waveform or the search bar for long samples.

This sounds like it is going to be super useful, when it's finished. Well done!

I know the program is missing a waveform, but I have no clue how to program that. I'm just an old Cobol programmer with a bit of Delphi knowledge. But I seen some sample code, so in the future there will be some kind of waveform in the program. It just takes time to figure out how to display binary data to something usefull.

sorry, I meant the horizontal alignment of the tag boxes looks much better, but smaller boxes would be an option toYuroun wrote:

Hmmm, I could move the boxes underneath the sample list, like in SampleTagger and make them a bit smaller for another category box. But then you have to scroll for the tags.
