Catalog Limitation Organization Questions

[Matthew Stamos]

SFX files do not have multiple thumbnails so you should be able to make catalogs much larger than 3000 with only audio files. The important part and to reiterate what Bryson mentioned is the concept of a catalog though still an important building block melts away in CatDV once you have the server housing all the records.

Hi Matthew!

Knee deep in the trial. Yes, I’m finding that even with 11,000 records in my Sound FX catalog, it’s preforming quite well. Although, frustratingly, it would always crash on large imports, so I had to drag each CD/Folder of SFX in separately, which took quite a while.

I understand the idea of the catalog, but since I’m starting my demo with the standalone version, I thought I’d see what it was capable of as a single unit. So far, so good…

David that is the recommended approach since most of the “magic” happens in the Client application. Once you get the server going this really opens up the ability to collaborate and share!
