Feels good finally getting my FL & samples reorganised, can spend an hour making a beat instead of searching for listenable kicks & snares

i've just completely switched up my workflow within fl which feels like taking off a straitjacket
plus i've had few musical ideas in the month or so i've been off production
plus i've set myself a project to work towards so im feeling a lot more inspired and writing a lot more easily

What's what turned me off fl was the sample menu on the side, if your samples aren't perfectly organized it can a pain

If you are using pc then check out the free prog 'Everything'.
It's so great at finding stuff that I've just thrown all my shit in a big pile and haven't thought about where since. I just put in 'bpm', 'wav' or 'horse mp3' or something and then copy the file to the track folder

Not sure what you mean there mate? Actually thinking about it i barely touch the collapsible menu on the far left, except to drag synths/vsts into the step sequencer
With drum samples i just use the FPC + save a preset kit whenever i find something that works. Saves from constant folder hunting later on.
With other samples i mainly drag + drop from explorer unless i can specifically think of an effect i want to use a VST sampler for.
