AudioFinder was designed for digital musicians to gain control
over their sample library.
The idea behind AudioFinder is elegantly simple - provide a user
interface like the Mac OS X Finder that is optimized for browsing
and auditioning audio sample files.
AudioFinder can be controlled exclusively from the keyboard or by
the mouse.
By using the up and down arrows the user can quickly scan hundreds
of audio files. When the user finds an audio file that they would
like to use in a project they can either copy the file or refer
(make an alias) the file to the favorites directory.
When the user has found all the sounds they plan to use in a music
project they simply go to the favorites directory and start work
using their music program of choice. Double clicking on a file opens
it in the preferred audio program as configured in the preferences.
Another problem that AudioFinder solves is the management of drum
loop files. Often a drum loop will not have the BPM in the file
name therefore making it difficult to find the right match when
searching for a loop.
AudioFinder can guess the BPM or the user can utilize the BPM Tap
Pad to tap out the tempo. Once the BPM is found AudioFinder can
rename the audio file to include the BPM. This can be a great time
saver when searching for drum loops that are close to the tempo of
a music project. DJ's can use AudioFinder's BPM Tap Pad to quickly
find out the tempo of their favorite vinyl.
The best of all features is the ability of AudioFinder to "Walk"
a directory of sample files. The idea here is to use AudioFinder
in conjunction with your music creation tool of choice. Launch your
music program (IE, Live or Reason) and start your song playing.
Launch AudioFinder and navigate to a directory where your samples
are. Click the first sample file in the list and then click the
"Walk" button. Sit back and listen as AudioFinder walks the directory,
when AudioFinder plays a sound that you want to use in your project
click the "Copy to Favorites" button. Then switch back to your music
program and add the sound file. AudioFinder transforms a simple
directory into a sample CD.
