Digital musicians can manage their sample library efficiently with this software for better control.
One of the most appealing aspects of AudioFinder is its flexibility in terms of control. Users can navigate the program exclusively from the keyboard or by using a mouse, and they can quickly scan through hundreds of audio files by using the up and down arrows. Once they find an audio file that they want to use in a project, they can either copy the file or make an alias to the favorites directory.
Managing drum loop files can be a hassle, as often they don't include the BPM in the file name. AudioFinder helps to solve this issue by allowing users to guess the BPM or use the BPM Tap Pad to tap out the tempo. Once the BPM is determined, AudioFinder can rename the audio file to include the BPM, making it easier to find the right match when searching for a suitable loop. This feature is incredibly useful for musicians who create music on a tight schedule and need to work efficiently.
The "Walk" feature is perhaps one of the most exciting elements of AudioFinder. By combining AudioFinder with a music creation tool of choice, such as Live or Reason, the user can launch their music program and start playing their song. Then, they can navigate to a directory of samples using AudioFinder and click the "Walk" button. As AudioFinder plays samples, the user can listen and select samples they want to include in their project by clicking the "Copy to Favorites" button.
Overall, AudioFinder is an excellent tool for digital musicians who want to take control of their sample library and create high-quality music efficiently. With its user-friendly interface, flexible control options, BPM guessing feature, and the "Walk" feature, AudioFinder is a must-have for any musician looking to streamline their workflow. The software is a valuable addition to any musician's toolkit and can transform a simple directory into a sample CD.
