FLStudio Sample Categories

[AbsolutNut]

I use FL Studio. Does any1 know if there is an easy way to create sample/sound categories in FL Studio. I think I tried a while back creating category folders in windows explorer. Then I tried creating shortcuts to samples. The shortcuts didn't work in FL Studio - instead just appearing as empty category folders.

It would be great if either in Kontakt/FL Studio or any other software if I could create shortcuts to samples in my library based on categories and then be able to browse these categories easily & quickly.

At present I have to browse through my sample CD folders on my hard drive auditioning samples until I find the right one. This takes ages and destroys the creative flow.

Any suggestions appreciated.

ur kidding - aren't you?
Go to Options->FileSettings
there u can add directories with samples or whatever

or just buy a new hard drive it is better to have your samples right on your disk
and then just put them in the samples folder

I agree with Vonbrucken. I always copy my samples to my HD. You can get a 100+ Gig harddrive for less than $100 easily. That's more than enough to hold about 150 CDs worth of samples...

it's always helpful to be able to read.

i'm confused i guess, but why not just take the time to make new folders with the categories and samples you desire? then point to those folders in the file settings in FL studio and they'll appear in the browser.
