Sample Scout is a $29 sample finder app designed to let you assemble and export collections of sounds to make music with at breakneck pace. It's now my favourite way to assemble sample banks to make music with. 👉 Free demo/full details at https://samplescout.app (Not an affiliate link, I do not benefit from you trying it) 🙌
FYI this vid exists because the developer @thelastdoreo is a long standing Patreon patron of mine, I consulted on this app in some sessions he had booked (beta testing, making suggestions/feedback). As I tested this, he sent me a copy and I volunteered to make a vid to shout it out because I use it now, and I think it deserves recognition.
