This would be perfect as I've recently had to do this manually in a new computer for around 50 projects & hundreds of samples had to be found, so to avoid that in future, I've been manually copying them from a sample drive so everything is consolidated in it's own project folder (sfs projects, presets & project samples) it's the tedious part of maintaining some form of order which I'm wondering if could be made easier for our users
I know you can use the bundle samples option, but that is kinda useless when the actual samples aren't located anywhere the user can access, it would be nice if it bundled the samples into the project folder as well
how difficult would that be to do Rich?
& will you implement it for us sample based artists?

Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folderI use samples, especially drum samles etc. very often in different projects. Having each samle in each project rather than in my specific samples folder, sorted by Hihats, Snares etc. it would multiply the amount of drive space and I would get totally lost.
Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folderCan see where you are coming from, but kinda misses the point, yes it increases disk space but what if you move about the place with projects? Don't you keep all your stuff together, ever had the something fail? isn't it nice to have a self contained project?
The ideal thing would be that it left the samples in the original libraries but made a copy of all those used into the project folder if you want (checkbox or option) much like every other program has the option to now I love orion but it's long for a lot of things, it's kinda losing me on a few fronts as I mainly use it for it's sampler & drumrack, If I found another sampler & DR as good & as low footprint cpu as those in orion & as quick to get a beat together, I'd probably consider moving over to one DAW as I already use another program for final audio stem mixing before they go out to mastering, but I prefer orions mixer centric drumracks & sampler
Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folderDon't know. I don't see this as a big problem. I even think that there is an option to save samples in a container/project. Check the settings. I think I saw something like that somewhere in an options menu.
Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folderFair
Oh it's not a problem, just long if you want to do things sensibly, such are the limitations. & yes, I did mention that option in my previous post, that just bundles them into the sfs, it would be nice if it actually copied the samples the project folder too. I've been using & supporting Orion since just after it was invented, it's my secret weapon that people have no idea how good it is might have to see if there is any way of hacking orion if it's not an option as I like it too much to leave behind can't be that hard, it's all code innit

Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folderwhat about the
- Bundle Samper Programs - Bundle DrumRack Samples in the Project Settings. Doesn't that do the trick?
Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folderUnfortunately not mang, wish it did! that option only seems to include the samples embedded into the sfs so you can move to another studio without having to take a sample drive but there is no access to the wavs if for any reason you need to work with them in some other way, or god forbid want to keep them alongside the project for archiving/remixing purposes.
I have to manually copy them one by one to the projects folder, after looking at the project & looking for what samples I've actually used then have to search the sample drive for them, then copy them across I've just done it for another 40-50 projects, took me all night
Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folder
lolololol For quickness I'd probably pay some whizzkid who knew the language used code is so flexible though, can build entire worlds isn't it.
Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folderyou can hack the sfs to retrieve the sample name and location and copy them to the current directory

Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folder
hah, why didn't I think of this sooner, I've done it before by opening a few up in notepad++ Last edited by BMS on Thu Jan 22, 2015 6:30 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folderalso I have a couple of projects which have the bundled samples but the samples sadly do not exist outside of the sfs any more
apart from rendering out bits & bobs & faffing about I wonder how to retrieve these samples I know for the sampler at least you can save an osp & try to open it in awave studio & extract each sample individually, that's one way but a lot of work for something that seems like it should be simple.
Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folderJesus, someone is working here without putting thoughts into what he's doing.
You know what I do (for years)? Arrange each song in a seperate folder. If I use vocal samples e.g., I add a folder called samples. NOT magic, just simply thinking what to do to get the result you want. I just have a stupid discussion going on over there at the Elite:Dangerous forum. Some people really don't think.
Re: Dear Richard : Copy Samples to Project folderchrist it's like pulling teeth on this forum, no wonder people don't bother
What you said is exactly what I have been saying I am doing & it takes precious time that is better spent making music, sometimes those things get in the way while you are working on something so I carry on making music & sort it out afterwards. it's a question of how much you value your time.
