Hello everyone,
I've got a ballooning sample library, but am looking for some way to keep them all in order. Anyone care to recommend a reasonably-price OSX program that might help with this?
Ideally it needs to have batch conversion capabilities, and a waveform editor would be nice too. What are the Mac guys here using?
thanks!
Matt
For convertion/edition I was just too happy to get AT LAST wavelab on OSX (Wavelab 7 Elements is $99 I thinl)
But for the archiving, sorting etc.. I rely on my memory
If you're not afraid of using a command shell I can suggest you SoX for sample conversion and processing. Then you can use the built in file iteration commands in tcsh or bash or whatever shell you prefer to do file batch work. As for management, I think there are utilities for OSX that let you tag each file with keywords and arrange files by combinations of those.
It might not sound like the most convenient approach, but at least it's free.

Samesies! Instead of spending the time to look for and try batch conversion utilities, I just do it the hard way; one at a time, using my ancient copy of Sound Studio. I suppose I just have too much spare time. ^^;;;
