Soundfont Database

Posted by Sumit Simlai on Wed, 04/04/2001 - 12:38.

I have tons of soundfonts on CDs but do not now what I have. So whenever I get any assignment, I waste creative time to look for the sounds that I need on my CDs.

The question is: How should I organise myself so that all the sounds are not only documented like a database (like I have already started doing so on Excel) but I am also able to audition them on the fly - means from the database. Doing this for wave samples is not a problem because a hyperlink would be sufficient to audition wave files. The problem comes when I need to audition a particular preset in a particular soundfont bank (sf2) and all the hyperlink does is to open up either Vienna or Soundfont Librarian and open up the particular sf2. Then again I have to so the tedious task of searching for all those names and again audition them from within Vienna. Is there a one-step way to do all this - i.e. on the fly auditioning of presets?

I shall be grateful for help provided.
