ADSR Sample Manager (FREE) | Important Tips I’ve Learned

Managing a large sample and loop library is demanding and ADSR has the BEST manager tool available for FREE! I’ve been using it for years and have tried other sample and library tools along the way, but keep coming back to ADSR. But learning all the subtle features can take time. A lot of the capabilities are buried behind small icons on the main screen.
In this RAW talk, I’m skipping the basics and focusing on features and tips you’d actually use to find the samples and loops you need for your latest song. Matching the key and tempo are just part of the challenge, and while tags and great, not all downloaded samples are tagged as you expect. Still, there’s so much free content available out there, you can build a huge library for almost zero investment.
I use ADSR as my primary sample and loop manager, but I also use Logic’s loop browser and Loopcloud. They each have certain pros and cons.

I appreciate the videos man.

[@tommyapocalypse6096]

CHAMPION!! I have this, but have never used it. Do you have a tutorial video on how to use it?

[@FiveDotStudios]

where did you download the apple loops samples if you could please tell

[@JeffyG]

They are part of the free content Media Library in both Logic and GarageBand. Do you need menu directions?

[@FiveDotStudios]

@@JeffyGno i mean, in adsr sample manager. how did you put the loops in there. i have the 80+gb of library downloaded in logic already

[@JeffyG]

Open ASDR. Click the folder icon on the left [should turn blue] Click the '+' icon Choose the folder where you're stored your sample. ADSR will scan and tag them. Add them to the index.

I looking for a video explaining how to fix the ADSR Sample Manager when it plays the sample in one pitch, then imports as another pitch. It is set on RAW and DAW Sync makes no difference. No key change or any modifications were made before importing file. Weird...and very annoying.

[@JeffyG]

Three dots - lower left - near the sample display - ‘processed’ or ‘original’ determines what version of the sample gets dragged and dropped.
