As most of you guys already know from my previous posts and threads...I spent about 3 days downloading about 18 gb's worth of free samples. Mostly drum kits, one-shots, FX, loops and instruments. A couple of these sound packs were meant for use in Ableton, Maschine and NI Kontakt/Battery and other samplers/sequencers.
When I was organizing and renaming files/folders from all these sound packs...I pretty much DELETED everything and anything that was NOT a WAV or AIFF file.
EVERYTHING! Mostly a lot of word, PDF and other files with extensions...: .ASD, .DS_STORE, .ALS, .NIK and some other ones.
Well...here I am going thru a couple more sound packs and I read something about keeping the FILE FOLDER STRUCTURE IN-TACT and to not change it. Also started reading about Ableton Drum Racks and NI Battery/Kontakt and which files they need in order to function.
Are you freaking KIDDING ME!!!
1. Did I need all those files above with the 'weird extension' names...??? This pretty much means that I downloaded ALL those samples for nothing since they are meant to be used in a certain drum rack or workflow with the attached files right...???
2. Does this mean I have to put in EXTRA WORK when creating drum racks in Ableton or loading samples into Maschine and Battery/Kontakt since I don't have those files...???
HELP...?!?!?
