SampleSort Application

Is it a 64 bit app? haha (semi-joking)

It works on 64 bit windows ... :)

This looks like it has the potential to be a wonderful tool. I am downloading now...

Thanks Bitflipper ... any feedback you have will be really appreciated.  I'm thinking of doing a lot more work on it in terms of integration with SONAR specifically.  I want to implement ReWire as well ...

Anyway, let me know how you get on with it.

Much appreciated.

Ah thanks for that I will go and give it a shot :)

It's good you have an exclusion list for directories to scan, but I suspect for most users an inclusion list might be more convenient. All my libraries are under just 3 top-level directories, but they are on 3 different disk drives.

I'll be addressing the case sensitivity in the next release.

I am waiting for the next release as the only way I can make a full search is by putting the word in both search fields, one with an upper case and one with a lower case start. Apart from that it's not a bad start and looks very promising, it is a bit flaky sometimes on windows 7 - 64 bit but if findjammer pulls off the search issue then I can live with it.

Hi Findjammer. Congratulations on your app. Nice GUI too. 

But I must admit that seeing it is bittersweet, because I think I will now abandon my Loop Librarian project. 

findjammer - Thanks for asking. I've been fiddling around with my LoopLibrarian project for about 5 years and I use it constantly. Others have suggested that I turn it into a product I can sell and I spent a lot of time this year preparing for that.

It resembles a Windows Explorer View, but it provides full control over the data in the file view, such as sample rate, bit depth, duration, BPM, pitch, etc, and can sort by any of those columns. It performs bit depth conversions with dither, sample rate conversions, and manages ACID properties (I managed to reverse-engineer the ACID chunk). It supports and converts WAV, MP3, OGG, AIF, FLAC, WMA, etc. It also shows MIDI details for each channel, and manages MP3 and manages metadata on audio files.

I just finished support for drag and drop to and from the program (had to learn to use COM objects), and a new on-screen keyboard that helps with setting the pitch when acidizing files. It outputs MIDI to any device, or uses soundfonts. I'm still working on some ASIO issues.

So it tries to do a lot, but it becomes a bit disheartening when seeing other products that do much more, and have cool interfaces for so little money. So it will probably continue to be a hobby. Fortunately, I make a living developing other software.

But again, congratulations to you on your samplesort project, and good luck.

Hello Again,

Was just getting in touch to let you know that I've started work on the next version, the text search fix you wanted was the first new feature I've added.  Will be working on it some more prior to release.  Will keep you posted.

I'm also interested in the other problems you've encountered.  I'm developing on Win 7 64 bit now and it stable on my dev box.  If you do have the time it would be really interesting to know some more about the problems you've had.

Also, if you look here:

C:\ProgramData\JamSoft\SampleSort\Config

You'll find a samplesort.log file.  I'd be really interesting in getting a copy of yours after a crash or problem so I can investigate further.

Regards,

Not sure if anyone is still watching this thread but I've just updated the web site and also the latest version is available for download.
 
Cheers,

Bitdefender (not to be confused with Bitflipper) does not like your site...

That keeps me away....

That is odd ... never seen that and no-one has ever reported that in 7 years ...
