Hello!
Windows 11, Cubase Pro 11, Groove Agent 5.
Recently, I’ve purchased drum audio samples from a company that is not Steinberg. The samples arrive in a folder, with subfolders containing WAV files, Ableton files and possibly Logic files (I don’t use Logic, but I saw that word).
Reading on the web, I quickly learned that I can drag a WAV sample onto a pad in Groove Agent, and the pad will play that sound, and my MIDI track can play that pad. So I’m functional. But workflow- and organization-wise, that’s not enough.
For instance, if I move the samples folder, Cubase can no longer find it. If I re-organize the samples WITHIN that folder, Cubase can’t find it.
Also, I haven’t yet found a way to browse these sample files within either Cubase or Groove Agent, rather than within the Windows File Explorer, which is clunky. I think it would make better sense to move all of the snares from different packages to one big SNARES folder (while still keeping the sets separated, because they’re multi-velocity).
So what I’m looking for is two things:
-
A way to import a sample into Cubase in a way that saves a copy of the sample within the project folder.
-
A way to browse samples within either Cubase or Groove Agent – like the media browser does it for VST instruments.
-
Any suggestions about how to organize purchased samples would be helpful.
The company I purchased the samples from is Drum Drops.
Thanks in advance.
