Well, it's a about time for another feature request/wish list. I just fixed a bunch of things in AF to make it work better on 10.8, so I'm open to suggestions for the next big feature.

Let's hear ya!

I have a small request concerning the use of AF on small computers though, ie. a MacBook for example, with a tiny screen resolution. Even if optimisations have occured since, i think there could be some improvements in this area, depending of the use of AF you have.

For example, i never use the MIDI / music functions like the keyboard at the bottom, or the Keys / BPM / Bars controls at the bottom right. So here is my request : it would be great to have a way to hide these (and move the transport elsewhere ?), so i can gain 4 / 5 lines of sounds in the browser. Something in a "View" menu for example. This principle could apply to all the parts of the UI, so anyone could optimize the AF main window to its tastes and worflows.

Until i miss something in the prefs that can already do that ?

Here is a screen capture so you can view what i'm getting on the oldy MacBook at full height of AF : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/110994/AF/AF_on_MacBook.png

I think it about time to go to 10.8. The way this would work is I will bug fix anything serious in AudioFinder for 10.6, but new features would go into the 10.8 version....

What OS on you on and why are you not on the latest?]]> http://www.icedaudio.com/forum/discussion/1945/5-5-8-beta-new-look-retina-support Thu, 13 Dec 2012 22:39:20 -0500 icedaudio 1945@/forum/discussions http://www.icedaudio.com/beta.zip

Please give this one a try, it features all new icons and a new look. It also has support for Retina displays. I think the new Sidebar icons might make their purpose a little more obvious as well.]]> http://www.icedaudio.com/forum/discussion/1946/happy-new-year- Mon, 31 Dec 2012 12:41:41 -0500 sdfalk 1946@/forum/discussions stuff..Happy New Year Iced..]]> http://www.icedaudio.com/forum/discussion/1931/hello-everybody Mon, 20 Aug 2012 18:25:31 -0400 stefan 1931@/forum/discussions
Last week I bought audiofinder. Thank you for the great program! After having understood the difference between searching the Metadata Database and the lists, I am very happy and using Audiofinder is very convenient.

there are some questions:
I have some files bought by "Tonsturm" for example, it is broadcast wave format with embedded artwork (location of recording for example). Is it possible to show this too in audiofinder?


and here is a wish for future releases:
I seldom need the whole quick look. For me it is enough to see the wave form. So I would prefer the hide the keyboard and play panel.

best regards, stefan]]> http://www.icedaudio.com/forum/discussion/1941/version-5-5-7 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 05:14:29 -0500 icedaudio 1941@/forum/discussions
• Unlimited length Audio Quick Looks, no longer bound by the 60 minute limit.
• All new Audio Quick Look generation engine. More stable and dynamic.
• Sample Tool behavior change. When a slice marker and a loop are on top of each other the loop will move first via the mouse.
• Switched to single clicking folders in the sound list due to popular user unrest!

If AF is started with drives missing then the link won't appear in my favorites (fair enough)
But If I mount the drives afterward, the only way to refresh the favorite list is to close and restart AF. This can sometimes be inconvenient ( if I already started to work on something. ) Is there a way to refresh without shutting down AF?]]> http://www.icedaudio.com/forum/discussion/1929/single-click-browse Sat, 11 Aug 2012 12:07:05 -0400 Tripi 1929@/forum/discussions ]]> http://www.icedaudio.com/forum/discussion/1936/guess-bpm Thu, 13 Sep 2012 16:45:52 -0400 arturix 1936@/forum/discussions

Here's how this works. Like normal you navigate to folder and then click Scan or click on a Scan Set and it will scan.
However, it will automatically save the results. So the next time you click on it, you get the saved results instead of rescanning.
To force a rescan Double Click the item or click the Refresh button.

You don't need to bother saving a scan now.

Let me know how it works?

It's great to be able to use AU plugins and process files, It would be even more awesome If I could batch process and instead of copying it to a new out put folder then over writing the source files ( Most of us Audio Designers for games work via Subversion of one sort or another)

If I could just process in place that would be great....Often I need to add effects such as echo and reverb compression ect.. and most other audio editing solutions don't offer tail processing so I have to manually add the silent audio in on each file which is painful when dealing with large amounts of files.

A simple option in the menu where you guys have don't add any sort or renaming to the files such as over-write processed files ect...or having the source directory be the output directory with the option to over-write.

Also, being able to build up a chain rack of AU effects (reverb, delay, compression & eq) and save the chains as presets would be beyond great.

I haven't been here for a very long time. The reason is because the last three years have been an unbelievable horror movie for me. I built a website last year with all the gory details.

But my own problems are not important right now.

I've been working 16 hours a day seven days a week for the past five months on a vast update to my website which I've finally finished and uploaded. And I really, really need you all to go take a look because it contains vital and time-sensitive information about your health and safety you need to know right now and pass on.

http://www.delusionalinsects.com/styled-40/index.html

I can't tell you how important this is.

Much love and light to you all.

Dave.

The one issue however is Gatekeeper, which by default will block AudioFinder from running, but this can be worked around by the following:

1. Select the AudioFinder app with Finder
2. Control-Click it and select "Open" from the menu
3. A dialog will be presented where you click the Open button
after that it will run without being blocked. however, this will have to be done each version of AudioFinder.

Alternatively you can just turn off Gatekeeper because it will get 100% in the way of all your legacy software. It will be several months before developers catch up to this huge change.]]> http://www.icedaudio.com/forum/discussion/1913/feature-request-search-bar-should-not-reset-when-changing-libraries Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:26:45 -0400 Huuggy 1913@/forum/discussions

In the Sidebar there is now a Dropbox item which will allow you to browse your Dropbox account. Click a sound in the Dropbox file list and it will download to the Audio Downloads Folder you set in the Preferences. Use the "Upload to Dropbox" item in the File menu or context menu to transmit it. AudioFinder will not stream and play sounds from Dropbox, they must be downloaded first, but I think I've made that pretty easy.

Please tell me how it goes?

So... once the issue of SARGAM notation was resolved I gathered a brilliant idea. I decided it was FINALLY time to correctly pitch the items in my library... All 60+ gigs of samples from one shot drums to loops to my early days of DITC. Like a mad scientist with a new i went through folder after folder...Command + A, Command + Shift + R, then "prefix pitch detected MIDI & Note Name."

It was like magic seeing how i was doing it was one by one using Melodyne to correct pitch drift and finally label the item with its correct pitch (single note) and/or its correct pitch and key its played in (C Maj, A Min, ect...)

Now It was time to finally just make music!

I took my MPC 4000 apart to reach the hard drive, transferred the library onto it, and started creating instruments. Thats when I noticed it...

A great deal of the detected note name were incorrect! I imported a few of AudioFinder pitch detected items into Melodyne to compare. Some were spot on...others were off two or three steps, an octave or three, and my favorite; the closed hi hat labeled B0.

I did take into consideration the infamous Middle C debate of C3 vs. C4. Since I couldn't find a pattern or logical reason why the notated pitches were inaccurate, I went further and sampled instruments from the roland fantom g into Pro Tools after backing it up and doing a factory reset. I used this as my constant since i knew the pitch of the samples taken.

I went through the same process above and the results from AudioFinder pitch analysis yielded again different results from the recorded and notated pitch of the notes (some but not all).

QUESTIONS

1. when are updated scheduled to correct this issue?
2. are there any updates in mind to correct pitch drift? samples that are a few cents flat or sharp.
3. update the lack of a space in a pitch name labeled by AudioFinder. ( #31 G2Bass vs. #31 G2 Bass)

4. A RENAME PROMPT FOR FILES WITH THE SAME NAME WHEN USING THE POWER RENAME FUNCTION. FILES WITH CONFLICTING NAME ARE TELEPORTED TO AN UNKNOWN PLACE NEVER TO BE HEARD AGAIN :'(

went to the latest version - decided to have a look thru the prefs -

thought handy - can get rid of plug in a presets in side bar - I never use them there anyways!

de checked that... it then told me to quit or relaunch... ( same thing?! )

on relaunch all my faves, and side bar items had disappeared!

what a nightmare that could have been! hours of work lost!

First, I want to say I really like this application. I use it very frequently.

I'm not sure if these are feature requests or questions at this point. I may not know all of the features of the program and if there is away to achieve what I want, that would be great.

1. Is there a way to tag based on the directory? -- Let's say I have a sample cd that I downloaded from loopmasters and I know that it is a minimal techno sample cd. If I view the folder in AudioFinder, I would like to tag all sub files from that directory as minimal. I can add the new tag definition, but from that point I'm selecting each file. It would be much more convenient to say right click and select a tag. Then all files would be labeled as minimal for that directory. Working my way down a CD would give me much better information about what files I already have available.


2. Is there a way to use regular expressions to tag/add metadata to files? -- I have a lot of old AKAI CDs that I have been collecting for years. I have them all organized by the disc name. Since these are older files, the metadata is not picked up or is completely wrong. This also happens for a lot of stuff I purchase from Zero G. It would be very helpful if I could write a regular expression to tag/add metadata to all the files in a directory. Since these are from a CD, 9 times out of 10 I could write a simple expression to tag all of the files with the missing information. If this is used with directory tagging, I would be able to go through a CD in minutes.

I think these two features (if not already implemented in some way) would really add to the overall usefulness of this application. At least for me, the tagging/metadata process is just way too daunting to undertake in any reasonable amount of time. If I had started using this application when I was building my library it may not be an issue.


Thanks for checking out my long first post.
