Tips and Examples
To find your files you can do the following types of searches:
• Simple: single words such as “animals” will display all the sounds keyworded with
“Animals”.
• Wildcard: such as “sphy*” (brings up sphygmomanometer).
• Conditional: such as “cannon AND Fire” or “cannon OR Fire” “phone ring NOT bell”.
• Nested: such as “animals NOT (bird OR cat)” can help you sift large collections.
Keyword searching and Tips.
This is what QuickSound is all about…Keyword searching. Inside the data of each
instrument, performance, or wave file is detailed information including keywords,
genre, detailed comments, credits and sample start offsets where applicable. Any word
in any of these categories becomes part of the QuickSound database search engine. If
you type any of these words into the search engine, all of the files that have that word
in their name or any of the search criteria fields will be displayed in the loader window.
You can narrow down searches using multiple words and certain rules. Then you can
drag and drop the sounds you want to play to the MIDI Mixer or Distributed Wave util-
ity and play them instantly. This is the fastest way to find, audition, and play instru-
ments and sound effects. Be sure and get familiar with the QuickSound Search Engine
to get the most out of all your audio content.
Search Criteria
Below are the fields that are included in a search. Any information that is in any
of these fields will cause the file to show up when that information is entered in the
search window in the GigaStudio. The most important ones in this library are the “Key-
words” and “Comments”
The keywords are where most of the search criteria are entered while the comments
include detailed sentence descriptions of the sound effect. Also, the name of the file
itself is part of the search criteria.
