Promotion

I hope we’re all enjoying the summer at the moment and what a cracker it is.  Things have been a bit quiet on the SampleSort development front of late as we have been trying to decide on the best course of action on how to move things forward.

We have been talking to end users to try to get a feel for where we should take the application.  I have also been approaching various industry folks with a view to getting their input on various topics as well.  We at a point where we are collating all of this together and should have a good road-map for moving this all forward in the not too distant future.

Meanwhile, if any of you people out there in user land feel the urge to do a spot of promotion on our behalf we’d love to hear from you!

SampleSort v0.6.6 Released

We have now released v0.6.6 of SampleSort.

Included in this update is a completely new categorisation engine.  This new categorisation engine has also added a new configuration setting to turn the ‘fuzzy’ matching process on or off.   To support this feature there is a new button on the Database page for recategorising the database.  If you change the categorisation engine settings (more control features to come) this button will re-catalogue the database contents.

You can now also specify your external audio editor application, once this has been done the data grids within SampleSort contain an option to open a file directly into the editor.

Other changes are all too development orientated to bore you with the details!  Hope you enjoy!  As ever all feedback is very welcome.

SampleSort v0.6.6

The next version of SampleSort (v.0.6.6) is currently in development and is looking like it will be available within the next 6 weeks.  This version will have a greater number of maintenance changes / bug fixes as opposed to lots of extra functionality included.

The major part of this release will be a completely re-worked automatic file categorisation process and a new ‘Fuzzy Matching’ feature of this process.  The ‘Fuzzy’ bit means that files will still be placed into a primary and secondary category but it will also allow them to fall into any other number of categories based on what SampleSort finds.

Beta Testers Wanted

Beta testing is an incredibly important phase in the development life-cycle of any piece of software.  It’s a process of making available pre-release versions of software to end-users to be put through its paces prior to general release.

To focus on delivering better software we are always looking for more beta testers to join our team and make an active contribution to the project. You will be required to participate by downloading and running the latest pre-release beta builds of SampleSort with a view to providing detailed feedback on your experiences using the application.

By taking part you will be able to feed into the development process and get to see your contribution, ideas and requests realised as we move through the pre-release beta phase of each version of the application.

This is an exciting and very rewarding process of making great software.  If you feel like this is something you are interested in and have the time to take part we would really appreciate your input.

To get stuck in and start helping get in touch via the link below and we will make the arrangements for you to be added to the beta team.

SampleSort v0.6.5 New Features

As the release of SampleSort v0.6.5 nears, we thought it was time we share with you some of the new functionality you will find in the new version.

Audio Engine - there is  a completely new, zero latency, audio engine that provides playback of all the common files (WAV, WMA, OGG, MP3, FLAC, AIFF, CDA etc).  SampleSort now supports samples upto 32Bit / 192Khz.  This removes the need for Windows Media Player … yay!

Monophonic / Polyphonic - you can now audition samples in monophonic or polyphonic playback modes.

Global Audio Looping - You can now configure SampleSort to playback in loop mode.

Master Volume Control - Control the global volume using the volume control in the main user interface.  This effects all active audio streams.

QuickSearch - Perform database searches without loading the database into memory.  With this option enabled SampleSort gathers the required search data when the application starts up, freeing lots of memory for the more critical applications you will be using.

Database V2 - There is also a new database format that has massively reduced the phyiscal size of the database file.  This also means that large databases load faster.  SampleSort will automatically upgrade V1 databases to V2 format.

Drives - Configure SampleSort to watch for new removeable drives and CD/DVD discs being added to the system so that you can start browsing their contents and using them in Export jobs.

32/64Bit - The main application installer is now capable of installing 32 or 64 bit versions.

64Bit Compatibility Issues

Currently the SampleSort installation on 64bit systems requires a further installation in order to function correctly.  In order to fix 64Bit issues you can go to this location and download SSCERuntime-ENU-x64.msi and install this file.

SampleSort v0.6.5 will remove the need for this step.

Removeable Drives

The next release of SampleSort will provide the ability to monitor for removeable drives being added to the system whilst the application is running.  At present these are still not included in scans/searches as the file assests (by definition) are not held on the host machine and cannot be regarded as ‘always available’ so are not currently added to the database.

There are plans in a future release to enable users to catalog remote storage locations that would include things like network drives, removeable drives and CD/DVDs thus enabling the searching of all media in addition to the locally stored audio files.

New Features and Progress Report

We are currently working on some new features to be included in the upcoming new release of SampleSort.  We are working on much improved automatic file categorisation processes and a whole new search facility to bring much needed ‘fuzzy’ matching to the SampleSort UI.

More infor will be posted on the site as we approach the release date.
