[obsolete] How can we expand the sections menu?

just keep it the way it is!!!half these people are only here to make money off your site...

PRESETS

The more sections there are, the harder it is to find things because there's more places to look for them.And mis-labeled releases, or things puit in the wrong category just makes things more confusing.

Things are pretty good now as long as we all remember to check in here once a day to see what's up. This is a very good site.

I'd like to see the posters have to state in the description how big the download is. This is no big idea for VSTis but sample libraries are all over the place and some of us have bandwidth caps we have to consider.

Another thing would be a requirement that everything must be uploaded to at least 2 sites but I know this is can be a contentious issue. Someone wlil always want another uploader.Personally I cant stand Filesonic and wont download anything from it;I just look elsewhere.

But this is a great site and I hope it stays great forever!

_agreed, good suggestion:))))))))
_this should make some order in chaos.
_c_u:)

I love this place, I've found already so much good stuff. It's all manna from heaven for me and I'm deeply grateful for what you guys are sharing here. Thank you amigos.



I just wanted to say that.



p.s.
A section for kontakt libraries and sample sets would be great, that's my favourite sampler.

I Agree with 8 Bit , lets try to keep this new categories more complete but at the same time easy for SAiNT to set it up.

I think there is a lot of good ideas here that SAiNT can use to improve the categories menu

Cheers! and as all of the people are saying here, This is the Best Forum Ever!!!

Thanks SAiNT

@ SAiNT
@ 8-bit

Like your idea 8-bit . Looks neat & tidy. And the grouping of particular things looks purposeful.

Please split the samples section into libraries, virtual instruments, refills, etc. Also it would be nice to separate the education section into videos, ebooks, complete sets, etc.

SOFTWARE
- PC
- MAC
SAMPLES
- Libraries
- SoundFX
EDUCATION
- Video Tutorials
- Ebooks & Magazine
MUSIC

let us search for 3 letter words in the search section... words such as dub, urs, rnb.. etc

Hi there. You maybe could saperate the plug's format

VST/AU/DXI/RTAS+TDM/MULTI Format/...

Just an idea, also like the site like it is thank you once again for that ;-)

Dear all,

assuming multiple class membership for each item, the following might apply

maybe splitting education according to instruments would be a nice idea (guitar, synth, drums, vocals, bass, strings, wood, brass). Then publica and that split again "magazines, books, scores"

here is my education section suggestion:

Education
- Instruments
-- Vocal
-- Guitar
-- Bass
-- Synth
-- Drums
-- Strings
-- Wood
-- Brass

-Media
-- Video
-- Audio
-- Publica
--- Books
--- Scores
--- Magazines or (Periodica if more generality is called for)

-Topics
-- Software
-- Instruments
-- Music Theory
-- Recording and Production


Why to classify in this way you may ask? First of all, I guess it is tricky to maintain a tradeoff between level of detail (ergo getting what you want quick) and empty classes. Therefore, a general "instrument" related categorization along with the respective "media" (video, audio, books) might be a good start. Obviously this poses a further problem of non-disjunctive classification in the media classes (e.g. replication of instruments categories under video or similar).

Maybe more thought into potential feature redesign (e.g. filtering categories such as: "Books" AND "Guitar"; "Books" or "Video" ) and multiple classification schemes might help even more. This is just from the top of my head. I might give it some more thought an repost.

best,
opty

shareislove, exclusive sexion for teh MIDIs is a must.
simorange, not practical as most plugs come in at least 2 flavors. just Instrument/Fx typification is enough to classify them.

hmmm and what about a video/gfx section ???

ok i left before dying ^^

saint just keep it the way it is,and everybody is on 8bits dick lol wtf?

its ok the way it is



some way of filtering out all the prehistoric stuff that goes up here

shareislove's suggestion is good:



The simpler categorization - the better and easier to do, especially for a start and basic sorting out. More categories can always be added later if needed, or make further adjustment.

For a start, a simple and clear categorization is crucial, to get the sorting started, and make AudioZ even better organized and more useful for daily browsing to different users. Most obviously a PC/MAC categorization would be of best benefit for everyone here, so people don't waste time browsing through what it's not useful for them.

There's no need to come up with a 100 categories all of a sudden, and only clutter things up. It would confuse people, instead of helping them find and be more productive with the tools they download.

Keeping it simple is the best way, to keep AudioZ clean and user-friendly - the things everyone like about it.

Also, a category by filehost would be of benefit to many people who prefer browsing/downloading content from certain filehosts.

For your consideration...

- Program/VST specific samples/banks/refills
Reason
Kontact
Etc.
- CD/DVD Samples
Akai
Ensonic
Etc.
- Wave/Aiff/Mp3 Samples (not from CD/DVD)
- Tutorial
Video
PDF
Etc.
- Vst Efx
- Vst Inst
- Midi
- Answered Req.
- Old Shit ;-)

Video Tutorials & Written Tutorials

I would love to see these sections. You guys are one of my favorite sites on the web. Thanks for asking for my input. Peace from Vancouver!

Gelidos "update" of 8-bits is the best one i think but 8bits is fine also

I like the list.

MAudio, coz I`m a gay...

no need to use the "dick" expression. thanks a lot for your suggestions, i reviewed every comment and took the best of it. however the changes will take some time

thanks again people!


8-bit, glad to see you're still around

Separate synthesizers/samplers (VSTi) from effects (VST)

I like your suggestion, also if you can add a section for patches for plugins made by our very own users and other people which are available on the net

Search

For me is good like is.
If I want anything hence use the search bar.
BTW thanks for asking

i'd say split it into
mac
pc
tutorials
mags and books
sample libraries

I have a suggestion, so nobody has to go through the BS associated with this users incomplete/tampered uploads on non-conforming file hosting sites.

> dukeiggi's fucked off uploads w/jacked file hosting providers

hey saint ..wassup mate .. just trying to keep it simple like this . . .hope it wud help . .. .
Basically there r only 3 main forums .. . .
