I like how flat it is. Few folders, personal notes in root.

incredible op-z project organization tips

I also do stuff like eq/tape-saturation/compression/wow-flutter etc. on most of my samples beforehand.

Regarding my regular workflow on the Z I use it like below:

Tr1 - One shot drum kits containing a full kit (not only kick/snare/hi-hat/fx like you ‘should’ use it on the Z)
Tr2 - Sliced Drumloops
Tr3 - Multisampled instrument (synth/bass/piano/guitar etc.)
Tr4 - Multisampled instrument (synth/bass/piano/guitar etc.)
Tr5 - Bass samples
Tr6 - Melodic samples (pads and plucks)
Tr7 - Melodic samples (plucks and short notes)
Tr8 - Melodic samples (pads and long notes)
FX1 - Half wet or full wet delay with LFO on Pan for ping-pong effect
FX2 - Full wet reverb and bit of LFO on Pan or something else as well
Tape - Effecting chosen melodic content (most of the time Track 8) Fine on 100 (+12 semitones) or Fine on 0 (-12 Semitones) Filter on 30 with a bit of resonance and using a Full Dry signal. Tape track is going thru the full Wet reverb FX2 for a subtle and dark shimmer effect giving everything a more spacious feel
Master - Bit of Chorus (never above 30) and Drive on 50. Punch on 50 and Master around 50.

That’s about it! I am thinking about making a sound pack for the Z soon for the ones interested. The pack will contain most of the sounds of the above Z-Files album.

This post made me feel like an amateur. I have only 3, relatively small book piles.

The 100+ starting point really put things into perspective for me..

Inspiring example of someone apparently just building all their own tools. The notes on browser as the place thinking happens is good - I mostly keep text notes on things and lists of links. Might look into those tools a bit, or try Memex again.

This made me feel better both for the suggestions, and because I had nowhere near as many. TLDR just delete most stuff as it doesn't actually matter
