Tip for downloading large amounts of samples

Post by hurlingdervish »

get the firefox add-on "down-them-all" you can download all of a pages files with one click by catagory (ie: .jpg .wav .mp3).

no more clicking one by one on each drum sample!

haha yeah... sometimes I wonder about the usefulness of enormous sample libraries... I mean its good if you want a very particular sound like some guy turning a vibrator on and dropping it in a toilet and recording it with a hydrophone but ahh... Yeah... I dunno.. I mean I guess its cool.. sometimes I dream about deleting it all though.
