As a photographer/film maker who uses various software to manage digital assets...it was a relief to know in the music world that something like this exist!!!
Found your channel by accident looking for videos on practical ways to use Quanta. Then saw this ADSR Sample Manager video, felt like I was the only advocate for this plugin, such an amazing tool! Now have your videos for Neutron 3 and VocalSynth 2 lined up to watch; all plugins that I use - you've great taste! Anyway, your videos are great man; very well presented, and the time-stamps are very much appreciated. Keep up the great work and I hope to see your channel continue to grow.
heeeeyyy! oh man, sounds like we are VST brothers from another DAW mother. Love it. This comment made my day. The RU-vid channel is still new so whenever I get messages like this from strangers it just really helps boost my motivation and reminds me that what I'm doing isn't just more noise on RU-vid. I've got plenty of other plugin videos scheduled for next year. It's going to be a blast. I hope you keep learning tons from them, and please keep letting me know what you think about them!
Definitely one of my favorite plugins, there are so many of my productions that would not have existed...if it wasn't for this indispensable tool! By the way...great video!
I just tried it last night and I already see myself using it all the time. I love being able to drag and drop the sample and it’s already stretched perfectly
Fantastic. This sample manager is pretty clutch. And ADSR makes big updates to the plugin. Having a MIDI section like you asked is something I really hope they implement because I also collected a ton of MIDI over the years. I can see the plugin getting that feature eventually.
OMG thank you so much I thought I was losing my mind. Cause I had just purchased that Unorganized as U**son Midi chord crap and was hoping adsr could alleviate that issue. But it still shows within the DAW. Man, you're a lifesaver I mean that. thanks again,I will be viewing more tutorials of yours to come.
You got it. It makes sense to assume that ADSR would help organize midi. It seems like it should. I think it's be a brilliant idea for ADSR to consider analyzing and tagging MIDI as well. Glad we could figure that out together haha!
One last question, Either I'm doing something wrong, or the ADSR doesn't analyze or take Midi files? I noticed I just got that Unison midi chord pack, and I can't seem to find it. Also, should I consider rescanning for "Key's", as in keynotes? I see the keynotes for drums and loops, but not for midi data? What's a good search or tag to do to see my midi data, I mean I still can operate it of course in my Daw, just wondering why Im not seeing it when I use it as a plugin or stand-alone. Thanks again
The reason why the MIDI files aren't showing up in ADSR is because it doesn't analyze and take MIDI files. Which is definitely a weakness of this sample manager. However, I have a feeling that ADSR will introduce MIDI files soon because they sell a lot of MIDI on their website. Sorry about that confusion, but here's hoping that MIDI will get integrated in ADSR Sample Manager
Yo I just got this and havent dived in yet. This is gonna be helpful. Thanks! I'm sure you are diving into Vital already. Looking forward to what you find in there!
This plugin is great. ADSR keeps improving it with every update, so much so that it's become essential to every session. I hope you find it really valuable too. And yeah Vital seems like an incredible and affordable Serum, I'm sure I'll hit that up eventually haha. Although I was thinking of playing with the new Equator...
@@ThisIsOnesto Sweet Equator looks awesome but is a bit higher priced. Gonna keep an eye on that one for Black Friday. Maybe also check out AIR Loom sometime. It sounds really amazing and is on heavy discount right now. Keep up the awesome work!
@@FragileSeas Equator does look quite nice. I had equator 1 so the price is a little lower for the upgrade. But I'll check out Air Loom. Happy to hear that you've enjoying the content!
do you have to sign in in order to use the stand-alone? Im signed in on the web, but It doesn't seem to sign me in in the sampler. Also, what does it mean when the exclamation point is yellow and says, analysis paused. Great video.
Hey! You don't have to be signed in to use it in stand alone mode, or as a plugin. Signing in only allows you to purchase or access purchased samples from ADSR. I'm not entirely sure about the exclamation point. If the analysis is paused, maybe there's something prevent it from finishing the analyzing. There should be a circle with an arrow that you can try clicking or some other button to click to continue analyzing. If that doesn't work I would close the sample manager and restart it. I really hope that helps.
this plugin wont load for me i just get "setting up database: wheel and nothing i figured it was scanning stuff so i fell aleep and next morning still the same thinng. if someone knows a fix to this please let me kmow.
Sorry you're having problems with it! I'm having some issues too with it recently. Not the same problem that you have though, mine just crashes immediately. I've sent in a report to ADSR and still waiting to hear back. Such a bummer, because I've been really missing using this plugin.
@@ThisIsOnesto well at least i know im not the only one having issues with it. their tagging option is very powerful and thought i could use it to manage alot of fx like risers, hits, foley etc. thank you for your quick response
I figure they ask for some of your contact info so they can try to sell you stuff later. Of course, you don't have to buy anything to keep using the plugin.
Help my adsr says 24,587 audio files, paused, It's like it's stuck, or do I have too many plugins? Not sure if I should uninstall and try again. Also, I have a lot of sample packs, but I don't see them in the sampler. Will I find them more so in the tags, or do I unzip each file then add them to the sampler? Thanks
Hey, let me try to help answer some questions. If ADSR is paused then I do not think it is because you have too many plugins. I would make sure that your samples are unzipped folders rather than ZIP files. When adding your samples, click "Add library" which is close to the top left corner. Once you do that, you can select the folder on your own computer or hard drive where you keep all your samples. Then click "open" from there the sample manager should start to analyze and automatically tag all your samples. If you're still having trouble, I would uninstall and reinstall it. And if you're still have trouble after that, I would try to contact ADSR directly. Hopefully you don't have to do that, but in my experience the ADSR team is really quick and friendly.
Man thank you so much I love this thing only thing sucks I wish there was a way to resize it in my Daw. Curious if I open it as a stand alone,could I simply drag from adsr straight to my days playlist? I use FL studio
@@mandit38 , yeah it's a great plugin, it really opened up the way I use samples, hope it does the same for you. I don't use FL Studio, but I know in my daw, bitwig, I'm able to resize the plugin by dragging the bottom right corner. Not sure if you can do that in yours. And I never tried dragging from stand alone. I mainly use it as a plugin.
One last question I've noticed a lot of my drums in adsr doesn't show which key their in. I don't remember seeing the key for 808's either. Does that mean ads doesn't know how to separate key variations between a drum, snare, or 808, bs, a melody, loop, or progression. Should I create tags for the key value for my drums?
@@mandit38 Happy to answer your questions man. Let's see, in my experience only some of my drum samples have the key tag too. I'm not sure if ADSR is analyzing the sample itself, or the sample name to figure out the key, bpm, etc. But I think it does a good, although not perfect, job tagging the keys of my samples. For the most part, enough of my samples are tagged up really well. For my samples where a lot of those tags weren't assigned, I only create tags for them if they are samples that I'm interested in using in the future. Otherwise I would be stuck tagging my samples 24/7. About 2 weeks ago ADSR commented on my video saying that we could be expecting an update to the plugin soon. So hopefully the plugin gets even better at analyzing our samples.
That’s a good question. I have not run into that issue. The first thing I would check is making sure the sample end point is all the way at the end of the sample, and hasn’t been moved up. Another thing I would try is loading up a test folder with a few samples to see if the problem keeps happening. Besides that, I’m not sure why. I wish I could help more!
I believe that means that the manager is analyzing each sample and assigning tags to each sample. It can take a few minutes if you have tons of samples in that folder.
I really wish I good get this to work right for me. By far my favorite sample manger but it’s glitchy AF. Crashes logic all the time with bigger projects. So simple yet doesn’t work well for me on Mac - anyone got tips?
I wish I could help you. What you're describing sucks. Unfortunately I do not have logic so I can't offer any advice. I know that the sample manager recently got a new update, so perhaps updating can help
Were you able to get it to work? I remember having an issue like that a couple of times in the past, and what worked for me was allow the sample manager to keep checking my database, so just waiting. And the other thing that worked was quitting it and restarting it.
