#Sample manager by audiofile enginering series#

It’s a tool any serious sound engineer shouldn’t be without. The curve slider makes the area change its aspect in real time.Īudiofile Engineering has done a great job with Sample Manager, and has used the best dithering and speed/pitch technology available on the market. For example, a fade in is represented by a faint green area. I have only had this for about 4 months now and one of the things that I was worried. It has 8 synth engines and 2 sampler engines along with a decent effects selection and 16 hour use time before the batteries go dead. Individual effects can be previewed with the waveform in the lower left panel. The OP-1 is a 24 button synth that is powered by batteries and not a USB or wall connection. You can daisy chain as many Actions and perform them on as many audio files as you wish, but you should keep in mind that daisy chaining many Actions may have an impact on your computer’s processing power and its memory. The iZotope Ozone editor, for example, was available to me as editor proper. not as an unwieldy list of sliders and fields, but inside the interface programmed by the developer. Contrary to some other audio processors I have tested in the past, the effect editor will open as it was intended, i.e. That one will enable you to select an effect - Core Audio or VST - and apply it. One specific Action is the “Process with Effect” one. You can also preview the effect an Action or a complete Workflow will have. Actions are pretty flexible in that you can select only a few audio files in your list and apply Actions on them only. One of these could be cutting up the files at left into several smaller clips, based on label markers in the files, or just the opposite: melting several audio files together. An evolution of Audiofiles earlier Sample Manager application, Myriad is an elegantly designed, intuitive tool for batch processing and organizing your. If you really want to start processing files, you’ll add Actions to the right panel. For example, you can add your name to the Copyright field, add comments to the Comments field or change the BPM field. The file Info panel will change when you have calculated its characteristics, but you can also change some parameters of that Info panel yourself.

They don’t require you to drag an Action, or set up a Workflow (which is a series of Actions executed in a given order). These are what I’d call “global” capabilities.

You can also calculate various parameters of the audio, such as phase correlation.

With Sample Manager you can analyse audio files for errors - reasons why a file won’t import or play in your DAW, for example. Sample Manager has a simple interface with on the left a file list and waveform panel, in the middle an Info panel that reflects analysis, calculation and allows for editing of some metadata fields, and on the right a panel where you drag Actions that look like Apple’s Automator actions. I found its feature set quite impressive. It works with Actions (60 in all, of which several are very powerful) and supports iZotope technologies such as MBIT+ and SRC dithering and SonicFit speed/pitch processing. It allows you to change multiple characteristics of several audio files at once. Sample Manager is an audio file batch processor.
