NAMING TAGS
You may also name a tag simply by pressing NAME, typing in a suitable name followed by ENT.
It is worth giving your tags useful names to avoid confusion at a later date.
NOTES ON USING THE TAGGING SYSTEM
The tagging system is very powerful and can save you a lot of time searching for files and this is
especially useful if you have a busy deadline to meet or are working in an expensive studio or
whatever.
For example, you may tag all orchestral sounds including strings, brass, woodwind, orchestral
percussion, choir and so forth into one tag TAG A (which, of course, you should subsequently
name ORCHESTRA or something similar). You could then tag all your strings (which could also
include, say, synth strings, etc.) in TAG B (renamed STRINGS) and your brass (including synth
brass, ‘pop’ brass, etc.) in another tag called BRASS. All your orchestral percussion could also
be in another tag that also includes your powerhouse rock drums and percussion and synth
drums, etc.. Bass sounds could be in one big tag that contains ALL your bass sounds whilst
synth bass sounds could also be in a separate tag for synth basses as well as in a general
purpose SYNTH tag.
In this way, depending on the project you are working on, you may select sounds far more
quickly. For example, if you are working on an orchestral piece, you would probably use the
ORCHESTRA tag as this would give you all the sounds suitable for creating an orchestral effect
but, if you were working on a ballad that requires a strings pad, maybe it would be better to use
the STRING tag because, although the ORCHESTRA tag has strings in it, you wouldn’t have to
be distracted by orchestral brass, percussion, etc.. Similarly for bass. In a rock track, you would
probably use your BASS tag that contains electric basses but, in a dance track, you may head
straight for the SYNTH BASS tag so as to only be presented with synth basses and not be
distracted by electric or acoustic basses.
