What up DSF fam
How are you guys organizing your samples? Ive got a folder called samples, and in it looks like a shit storm, I've got shit everywhere completely unorganized.
Do you guys organize by pack? Type of sound?
Let me know how you guys are keeping it clean.

Used to do it by pack but it was very weird thinking right I need to get a kick so I'll go into xy sample pack by thingy scroll through to blah blah.
About a year ago I sorted it all out arranging into kicks, snares etc. Then just putting it in a folder saying which pack it was from e.g
Samples -> Kicks -> Vengeance X Kicks ->
Works for me

I used to organize everything by type. Allthough this was back when i was starting out and and had a hard time organizing things. I used to use Ice Audio's somethingorother to tag everything. Then Reaper when that ran out of demo time.
Since then ive deleted most of my samples (30 gigs of freebies from primeloops) and just use a few packs that i keep in 1 master folder. If i need something specific, ill just use the search in my daw.

for drums & fx, i put it all in one folder and then organize by type of drum or fx sample.
for all other samples, i organize by pack and then further by type of sound (eg pad, lead, bass, etc)

Well the only samples I ever use are a drum kit I made and I don't really use anything else. I don't ever usually recycle any other sound. So it's basically just a folder titled "Drum Kit", it consists of a kick, a snare, a ride, a crash, two closed hi hats, an open hi hat, toms, and a sub-folder titled "Random Percussion". Which as the title says, consists of random percussive sounds.
(Well there's that and my 808 pack, which is basically the same thing.)
