ADSR has announced the launch of ADSR Sample Manager, a free sample management plugin for musicians.

The optimal starting point for every production session, ADSR Sample Manager makes organizing, finding and auditioning audio samples refreshingly simple. ADSR Sample Manager enhances your workflow technically and creatively while keeping all the action right in your DAW where it should be.

The team behind ADSR Sample Manager and ADSRSounds.com, one of the world’s largest boutique sounds and sample stores, know a thing or two about file overload. The development of this free plugin was focused on creating a better way to find samples and the realities of how most of us organize [or don’t] our files.

“We designed this tool to help musicians make better music,” Steve Foulds, CEO, ADSR said.

“The intuitive features salve the pain electronic musicians often face when searching for sounds for their projects. We all waste so much time looking through files and folders, auditioning the wrong sounds and just generally losing momentum. The ADSR Sample Manager gives you back some of that time along with inspiration and the added adventure of rediscovering your existing sample library. Once you start using this tool, you wont know how you lived without it.”

What musicians will love about the ADSR Sample Manager isn’t just the practical interface or the instant, meaningful organization of every sample in every folder you own. It’s that once it surfaces potential options, you can then audition those one-shots and loops using midi input and tempo sync to hear and improvise in the context of your project. You can even load multiple instances allowing you to further streamline your workflow all without leaving your DAW.

The plugin automatically tags and organizes all your samples in a flash.
