Phait Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I've been looking for an OS X app that will allow me to browse the samples I have, and play them once I click one of the samples - something similiar to Windows Explorer, or ACD See. I tried a couple programs but one crashed upon launch, the other launched and crashed and wasnt what I was looking for. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Grace Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Phait, here's a possibility: http://www.soundminer.com/images/SM3Rewire3sm.gif Soundminer I also believe that Logic Audio offers some of that functionality as well.

bleen Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 You could also use the Finder in "Column View" and preview them there: http://www.dongunn.com/misc/finder_preview.gif recording/mix guy don gunn.com myspace.com/dongunnmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phait Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 I could use the column view but if I click on a file it won't play with that one click. Also sound miner is really more than I need, and I don't have the host apps it needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steadyb Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 You're right, it would take two whole clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbobus Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Golot learn some basic OS X... You click on the file and the little bar at the right shows up. Press play right there.It's a small Quicktime player bar. You can also import your samples into iTunes and make a library in there. http://www.bobwijnen.nl Hipness is not a state of mind, it's a fact of life.

While the Soundminer site touts its ReWire support for both Digidesign Pro Tools and Steinberg Nuendo 2.0 (MAC OSX), it also supports many other formats: Soundminer LE features support for all Digidesign Pro Tools environments, Steinberg Nuendo 2, Apple's Final Cut Pro, AVID's Macintosh Media Composers and DV systems, Emagic's Logic Audio, MOTU's Digital Performer, and Roxio Toast.Don't get me wrong, I'm not pushing Soundminer; I'm not even a Soundminer user. I'd just hate to see you dismiss it because of a misunderstanding. Of course, if it turns out that OS X by itself winds up suiting your needs, so much the better.

synthetic Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I miss SoundApp, I wish he would update that for OSX. Simple free player and format converter. Even did sample rate conversion, MP3-AIFF conversion and batch processing. The site looks abandoned, though. http://www.spies.com/~franke/SoundApp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phait Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 It's not that 2 clicks to hear something would kill me but it's more efficient with just one click And Geoff, I'm selling Logic, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbobus Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 That's what I say. Make a library of you samples in iTunes and just browse through them by just pressing the arrow-right and left keys. And making that library is a matter of a few seconds. http://www.bobwijnen.nl Hipness is not a state of mind, it's a fact of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And making that library is a matter of a few seconds.I have 2 good drum loops CD's that I use. I extracted the files & set up libraries in iTunes. I audition the loops & when I find the one I want, I open up the window where they're kept, drag & drop the loop into the Tracks Window of Digital Performer.
