Sample managers

Most of us have a bunch of samples lying around in a loosely defined system, some scattered folders and a few highlighted files. If your new year’s resolution is to sort out your samples once and for all, check out the programs that can make the task easier. AudioFinder catalogues every sound on your system (OS X only), and lets you insert metatags, rename files, edit waveforms. Audio Ease’s Snapper 2 even lets you drag your sounds right into your DAW. Also check out Revel Breezer and Aural Probe.
