ADSR Sample Manager - "Find the perfect sound in an instant!"

[fabzzrr]

Hi,

I'm on Windows 10 with Cubase 11 as my DAW. I organize my samples with ADSR Sample Manager (as a VST in Cubase) and have applied many tags and marked a lot of samples as favourites which took me ages. The two main folders with my samples are now bursting at the seams totalling at 275 GB. Is there a way to move them to a new SSD without losing all the tags and favourites? Has anyone here already done this successfully? I googled and searched forums but couldn't find a detailled description for the procedure.

I mailed the support and was told to "go to SETTINGS > DATABASE > EXPORT DATABASE" but I'm afraid I'm still stuck. Here's what I've got so far:

The original samples are on drive "i" in two folders. I now copied them to drive "y" which has more space. I then exported the database and settings of the ADSR Sample Manager as I was told and a ZIP file was created which I extracted. It created a folder called "ADSR Database and Settings Exported on 1 June 2021" that included the following files:

- adsr_1_6.db3 (240 MB)
- keymap (1KB)
- README (1KB)
- settings (1KB)
- Windows restore

Now what? The "read me" file says: "IMPORTANT: You must not be running any instance of Sample Manager before attempting to restore the database and settings, so please close your DAW or the stand alone prior to restoration. Double click "Windows restore.bat" and follow the on screen instructions." I double clicked and got a warning:
"Are you sure you want to restore the database and other settings? This will overwrite any existing files. Enter Y to continue"

So I thought I might better ask for a more detailed description here from someone who has completed the process before I lose all the time I put into tagging and marking samples as favourites. The support guy said that there are no additional instructions and suggested to create a restore point on Windows in case anything should go wrong but I'd rather hear from someone who has already done it.

Just to be sure: I don't blame the ADSR support for not giving me more details since it's a free software.

Having the exact same struggle, someone knows something new about this problem? I dont wanna lose all my Tags and Favourites...

ADSR Sample Manager is broken though. If you load up a sample library with sub folders and folders within those subfolders and later change samples or the names of the folders, then ADSR will not access that library anymore. You have to delete it and reinstall it. So annoying. The other issue is that by default it exports samples as processed (unless you change the setting first). what that means is every time you drag a sample out of adsr to your DAW, it creates a duplicate copy of the sample on your computer. dum dum dum...dum

Ok, I'm feeling really dumb, but is there a way to EXCLUDE tags from search?

This reply might be late, but I successfully did this.

I had my whole library saved in my E drive on my PC. Later on I changed my drives and placed the whole library in F drive.
Got the program "DB Browser for SQLite" and opened my db3 file. Went through each table and changed E:/Sample Library to F:/Sample Library (using SQL queries). Finally saved the changes and restored the db3 successfully. Worked for the whole library (60GB), but you have to change the paths in all the tables in the db3 file.

Make a backup of the db3 beforehand and try it out!
