I could use practical suggestions about organization of drum samples.
Like most people, I got hundreds of them, fairly well sorted. Loading and using them is no problem in itself, and I am not talking about complete realistic drumskits here, such as NI Studio Drummer or EZdrummer etc. I am talking about single shots or simple 'patches' (2-3 audio files comprising 1 kick or snare sound).
My biggest problem is I need to compare samples, listen to them playing in the mix, to pick out the best one out of many. I will need to be able to browse through many different snares, kicks etc, without exchanging all other kit sounds in the process.
The samples are not just single audio files, but often 'patches' - meaning one sound comprised out of the combination of several audio files. One example of this is that '1 hi-hat' is comprised of several audio files: open, closed, half-open, foot, bell etc. This complicates things.
I have no problem translating samples between different formats, such as Battery>Kontakt or other similar ways. But I am having problems deciding what is the best way to go, to be able to compare them directly as much as possible.
Do you know of any smart solutions for this? Heard of someones clever setups? How do you do this, if you do? Any recommendations for sample playing software that might be suitable?
Thx
