Hi, Jonny X, and welcome. If 200 meg does what you need to do, it's Good Enough(tm). :-)
Some sample sets are hard to search. Sometimes the player helps -- in the case of SampleTank, there's a keyword search built into the preset browser. Sometimes that helps. Sometimes I just use the tree structure of the sample subdirectories to find what I want.
Synths are great, love 'em to bits, but they make different kinds of sounds. Samplers provide noises that synths can't handle well or easily -- or sounds of classic hardware that I could never afford.
If you want to sound like a symphony orchestra, samples are the way to go. For electronic fun, synths, baby, oh yeah.
A different kind of tool, that's all.

[edit] Another item to consider -- nobody I know of uses all the samples in these mega-assortments. It'd probably take a lifetime to exhaust something like Sonik Synth 2, a very impressive synth-flavored sample library.
You get a huge variety of sounds to choose from, plus usually a player that allows some synth-type sound manipulation and effects. Pick what you like, leave the rest in reserve in case. So when seeing these gigantic storage figures, remember a lot of it is dormant... awaiting its chance to spring forth in full sonic glory, dah de doo wah.

No playback problems at all... but yes, maybe time for a new HDD!kevvvvv wrote:gugusseI guess you get playback problems now, Patrice.My 80GB HDD is almost full because it is loaded with 75GB of all sort of samples (sf2's mainly, gigasamples, Halion samples, Kontakt samples, DR-008 drumkits...).
Tme for a new drive?

i'm constantly deleting/archiving one thing to be able to load something else
when my bonus comes mid-February I'm buying a firewire hard drive
and maybe some more ram

From sampling libraries to original sounds, about 210GB
i'd say about 60GB is just raw field recordings I never deleted though

In the directorty where I keep my samples I have 373Mb, plus another 621Mb of stuff that comes with ORION, of which I use about three soundfonts. I managed to generate more than 11Gb of files during recording but once I know that everything arrived in Germany, I will delete all but the raw takes [1.09Gb].
Most of the samples are either drums/loops or voices from film and TV. I use a few string samples but nothing else, really, except for a couple of UltranWMS sets but the're the really basic ones [VintageVCO].

WAAAAY to many on mine.... And 'terrabytes' worth of CD's. From Aardvark snorts to Zebra dumps, from Antwerp Chimes to Zydeco Rythems... I got 'em - I can't find them when I want to, but I know I got them.

About 100GB+ worth on my firewire external 200GB drive. However, as an exercise, it would be interesting to go back 12 months over all the songs we've made and actually analyse how much of our sample sets we've ACTUALLY used. Probably < 5%
