Searching for Boom, baang, ping, poing, wuuush!!
Hi I have a ton of SFX samples on an external FW drive but it takes me sooooo long to find just that sound sample that I remember I have and which is perfect for this (explosion, laser, beam, knock… whatever)
What tool do you pros use to search through thousands of sound loops and samples to find the one you’re looking for???
I now use audition import screen as it will auto-play the file for me or adobe bridge which allows me to tag and add keywords (which I don’t really do too much) but which takes 2 mouse clicks to play a given sample and brings my multi-thousand $ system to a crawl…
Any great tool I’m missing?
Thank you.

A guy named shane ross had a great idea, set up play lists in itunes and search through it and categorize them… It was a bit more involved but this is what I remember. Usually sound collections are pre-organized and when you find something good you could save it to a favorites playlist.
I’m actually working on a SFX collection myself:
https://www.videocopilot.net/dsfx.htmlOne of my goals was to not make a collection of a million sounds but to just make a good set of the “favorite” most commonly used…
I have a great collection called Noise Generator (noisegenerator.com) It has a lot of sounds but finding the right one is difficult because you have so many choices…
Good Luck,
