We also have a free utility which can be paired up with v4.5 and it appears in your DAW menu allowing you to batch finder copy items as needed. Let go in the target you desire and a simple straight copy of the original will be made.

It will turn the cursor into a plus sign (+). The “secret” is to not touch the keyboard until you are just about to let go of the mouse. Like a Drag and drop, click and drag the file to the desktop or a location accessible in the finder. This type of transfer is akin to making a copy in the Apple Finder, hence the name. Finder CopyĪ Finder Copy is similar to a Drag and drop in the sense that no filename change or conversion is performed. This method is very simple and reliable, but users should be aware of its limitations. If copies are made, it is more likely that metadata will be stripped by the copying application.

So applications will simply play the file from the original position while other applications may enforce a copy upon drag/send. Since the receiving application is determining whether new copies will be made or not, there can be no change to the filename in this transfer. The user should be aware that the receiving application, in these methods, always governs the rules of transfer, including any subsequent copies if applicable. Both methods are essentially the same and have the same result. Be careful to set the target in the DAW Menu to your desired application or you will get undesired results. The SEND TO feature delivers the file to the target APP in the same way. In addition the user can employ the SEND TO APP feature. You can also select multiple files both continuously and discontinuous and click and drag them to a target. This is achieved in V5 by simply clicking and dragging files from the browser to the target application. If I could merge Mediabay and Kore-Style browsing together, it would be heaven.Drag-and-Drop transfers mimic the Apple convention allowing one application to ‘move’ a reference to a file to another application. Then there's Soundminer, which is friggin expensive, but I'm still intending to try it. I'm just about to try Library Monkey, but not hopeful.Plus that's going down the SFX librarian route now. I've tried Audiofinder, but it cant do what I described above, and isn't like Kore Other alternatives are iTunes, which I've tried, but you cant add so many tags to it, not so customisable, and I prefer to use iTunes solely for my music library Maybe Logic 9 can?Ĭubase's 'Mediabay' is a brilliant idea, but it's so poorly implemented, and so so so slow and unstable with large audio sample libraries (say 200GB+) Logic has a great media browser, but it only works for Apple Loops/AIFF files, and you can't create your own categories. 'drums' 'electronic' 'hihat' 'open' and tag my samples with my own metadata descriptions and search for my audio samples in the same way that you search for sounds in Kore and the other NI apps. What I'd like is a way to import ALL my audio samples (wav, aiff, mp3, rex, acid) into something like Kore, create my own search filters, e.g. The way you can browse for sounds in NI Absynth / Massive / FM8 and Kore is just incredible.
