Samples - Renaming program?
Posted on: 23.06.2013 by Catherina Keplar
Hi there all,

I've decided to start to combine all my samples into folders e.g Snare,Kick,Bass,etc.

But the dilema i have is that many of the files have a similar name or quite weird names. And i was wondering was there a program in which i can just drag the files and add a name and it shall name them accordingly? E.g Snare 1, Snare 2, Etc.

Rather than myself going through them all and doing it manually?

Thanks

I just use Maschine's browser to tag stuff. It's pretty easy.

If I were going to actually rename the files, I would use automator to write a couple of programs or folder actions and just drag them to the folder like you described.

Just "Kick" and "Snare" aren't really enough to organize a sample library, though. I try to keep track of from where everything was sampled - which machine (808, 909, DX-7, etc) or record from which the sound came.
