Setting up my new PC and thinking if there's a better way to browse 100gb of samplepacks. I'm looking at:
ADSR - Sample Manager
The frontrunner. It's free. Good basic features like categorising, tagging, BPM and tuning detection, simple sample editing and realtime previewing in the DAW. A little buggy but gets constant updates. I've used it before and probably will go with this if there isn't something much better. No fancy 'heatmap' type interface, such as....
Algonaut - Atlas
Not too expensive. Looks like a more creative way to browse and match up samples. Not sure I'd use the in-built sequencer over my DAW, but seems pretty comprehensive like a decent NI Battery alternative as well.
XLN - XO
Quite pricey - probably missed a good BF sale but I guess I can wait for another. The interface looks like a step up from Atlas. Has a standalone version too which might be handy. Thoughts?
Most importantly, is there anything else I should be considering?
