Spotlight, so they can just type something in, and it will find the files or folders on the QNAP mounted volume.Īs someone recently pointed out, no matter what - when Qsirch is enabled and everything is indexed, Qnap will NOT find folders. Clients who are using Apple computers want Qsirch to work with Apple Now with recent updates, Qsirch works within the QNAP. The other upside is by instantly seeing how many instruments you have, you might not be as tempted to buy more or in the case of this forum, the same thing twice.At one time, Qsirch did not work at all. This obviously won’t work for everyone but so far I really like it for my needs as it keeps the workflow inside Logic, rather than in the various plugins, if that makes sense. I also plan to save my favorites channel strips in Logic as well so I can easily just swap out the reverb on the bus from various rooms I like in 7th Heaven or plates or chamber IRs, already EQed. This way when I load up an instrument it will already have a bit of buss reverb on it or whatever.

For instance, I didn’t bother with color coding or artwork, so I would like to get that looking nice.Īlso, I plan to setup a very basic template with stuff like reverbs, delay, etc on busses as you can save the bus settings per patch. Now that I have it basically setup, I plan to just do continual maintenance.

I have a copy of the main user patches directory folder on my Mac desktop, so I can reorganize it as much as I want and when I open up Logic (or hit refresh inside of the user patch area) everything is in the new hierarchy. The other thing I like about this approach is that you don’t have to commit to a folder hierarchy. Plus, because it’s a patch, I can even have it come up with say an EQ and Compressor already on it. No time wasted opening up the VST, just scan the patches in my “Diva” folder under “Synth Lead” and click the one I want.

This is particularly good for synths, as a synth VST might have 100s or 1000s of presets and I maybe use four or five regularly. This way, I’m not just keeping track of what instruments/products I have, but also saving myself the time of having to search for a specific sound inside of the product or recreate it each time. If I’m working on a project and come up with a new bass sound in Modo Bass that I like I can easily save that into the patch folder to call up in any future project. What I like about this is that I can instantly see all my basses, and then within basses I have, for instance, a “Modo Bass” folder that has the patches I use most. Piano”, “basses”, “guitars”, “Synth pad”, “Synth lead”, “Synth Bass”, “Orchestral”, “Jazzy horns”, “Jazzy strings”, etc.

So I have categories like “drums”, “pianos”, “E. I’m organizing by instrument for the most part (similar to the Logic library), except for my orchestral stuff, which is separated into library (ie, Spitfire AltSS, BHCT) inside an “Orchestral” folder and then broken down into the individual instruments and then articulations (with all other articulations deselected to save memory and reduce load time). But for the past week or so I’ve been getting everything organized inside of Logic as “User Patches” and it’s fantastic for my needs. I’m only dealing with a single external SSD. This is just my hobby and I don’t have multiple drives of stuff.
