This is a Newbee-Question:
Can the experienced ones give me a hint how to organize sounds I found interesting. I find a lot of interesting sounds, listen to them and think - maybe sometime they will be useful, but then - how will I find them again.
I know it is a way to procrastinate, looking for sounds, listening and most of the time storing them - just in case :)
I try to give them meaningful names, but is there a better way???
Thanks for your answers
Alex

Hi Alexander Benra - are you recording the sounds and logging them all on a drive or a google doc with links that you can easily access? Are there any Foley Artists out there who can chime in on this question?

For orchestra stuff I’ve got a few templates with different sections for different situations. Also templates for things like a pop horn sections ….or saxes, trumpets, bones, for BB type tunes. The synth side of things can be tricky because there’s just so much of it and so many options. I like the way it’s handled on the m8x. Lots of categories, sub categories, and long patch lists. I can then tweak, rename, and move them where I want. I have the same approach on the other synths….make sounds you like and then save/move to a different location; a bank with “your” stuff.
Something like Omnisphere, again with a lot of categories and a huge # of patches, I have the ones that I’ve tweaked and use kind of regularly in a User area and it’s pretty easy to tag them with keywords to find them.
I’ll never be completely organized. I enjoy just hitting the down arrow and seeing what falls under the fingers. I can get lost for hours.
