Sample Crate App Reviews

Update: Thank you for adding the sample time bar! Awesome and much easier to find the perfect sample. Problem, when I add samples to the ‘crate’ and try and export a sample chain or individual samples, the resulting file has no audio and a file size of 4kb. This is exporting to Cubasis3 and BeatMaker 3. —— Love the idea and the usefulness. One thing that is really needed is scrubbing/waveform view so you can scan through a sample easy. Right now it always starts from the beginning. If you ha

Thanks for the app. It is filled with shortcuts to build kits and organize. That said…when exporting a crate into a “sample chain”…the audio is slightly raised in pitch within that “sample chain” that was created. I assume a quick fix on your end will sort it out. Thanks again. Edit: The sample chain pitch issue has been fixed!! Thank you Alex!

I wasn’t sure whether I needed samplecrate given a few overlapping features with AudioShare. Samplecrate does a number of things currently not possible in AudioShare—it can do bulk file renaming, and it can do bulk drag and drop export to apps like Koala. These are huge workflow improvements. The dev is very active on the Audiobus forum so the app is well supported. Crazy value for $2.99 USD

Cool app, but is there a way for it to not change all my audio icons in other apps to orange and black?????? I actually deleted it because I really don’t want all my audio icons changed to orange and black, thanks.

Amazing app but unfortunatly theres a bug and when loading my samples it crashes and my saved sample sets no longer have any samples within them. Ay be the way it’s designed but is actually more of a bug. Love you guys

This app fills an absolutely invaluable niche by allowing me to test out samples and organize them for my SP-404 for example. So far my only gripe is then when testing out the samples in the “sample crate” there is too much latency when tapping the pads to be able be very musical with it. Granted, I wouldn’t use it to perform music and only to test the sounds out so it’s not the end of the world but it is something that could improve the app.

Thank you so much for adding this function. As iOS midi generators continue to improve, it’s so good to be able to preview ever growing MIDI file collections without having to generate matching audio files to reference. Hoping you can add MIDI crates to the app as well.

Finally an easy way to preview audio with one click. I use it to add samples to Logic Pro (iPad) and it’s so seamless it seems like a native feature. Seriously, this is a life saver and time saver.

If you have your own sample packs, this will make it so much easier. “Files” works but if you want to preview a file it goes to a new window and then have to go back to the previous page to drag it. If you don’t remember what it was it’s a pain in the butt. This does it without that issue. Worth it

Immensely useful. This app works in an almost similar manner to the Ableton Live Browser (which I love). Auto-Plays samples as well as midi. Tagging is going to be wonderful. I am glad I found this app before starting to catalog my samples/loops etc... Works with cloud storage. Thank you so much for writing this absolutely fabulous program.

Excellent app glad I found this works falsely

If you’re anything like me, your devices are brimming over with a gazillion audio files - samplepacks, field recordings, etc. - and after a while it catches up with you… storage isn’t infinite. So this is a great tool to get a bird’s eye view, so to speak, and be able to pluck ‘em up like an eagle instead of futzing around through the subfolders you created (or didn’t) trying to recall where you saved it. @dev - a super useful tool I would love to see would be a duplicate file cleaner like alr
