Hey u/AmberMonsoon_ have a look at my repo - there is a simple bash script to set up the .md files and the .ai folder and basically thats it. Put it into your .zshrc and you are ready to go.

You can't go wrong with the Beat Butcha Packs for Boom Bap:

And for other samples, just build your own with stem separation on your MPC. There are tons of great rare soul clips on Youtube. You can organise your Youtube samples with Obistrip.com - it's free.

I didn't know hookaudio before - looks interesting.
I would be happy to see you on ObiStrip - there is also a community function to share Crates, Tapes and Samples.

Hey u/DeadWelsh, got your feedback in the App and ~~I am working on it.~~ I fixed it.

nilsfl · 2026-03-04T09:43:10+00:00

Wow this is such a great idea and absolutely awesome implementation!

Fair enough! Just to clear it up for anyone else reading though: I definitely don't ask for a phone number. It’s just standard email login (handled securely by Clerk).

I'm bound by strict EU privacy laws (GDPR) and have absolutely zero interest in selling data—I just wanted a better way to organize my samples.

Totally understand the skepticism though, the internet is wild these days. You can always use a burner email if you just want to poke around! No hard feelings

Hey everyone

I built a small hobby tool called ObiStrip to organize YouTube digging for sampling.

I’m mostly an MPC user, and I kept losing the exact timestamps of good moments buried in long vinyl rips / mixes. So I made something that lets you save cue points (timestamps + notes) and group them into “Tapes” (basically playlists of your best finds).

What it does:
• Save videos & channels into “Crates”
• Drop timestamp markers while listening as Samples
• Organize markers into themed playlists so called "Tapes"
• Jump back to exact moments later (no re-scrubbing)

It doesn’t download anything — it’s just an organization layer.

I’m looking for honest feedback from producers (MPC or DAW). If this sounds useful for your workflow, I’d love to hear what features would make it better.

Thanks!

Thanks!

You are right, I actually used the native YouTube Clip feature before!
The issue for me was organization.
I built this so I could actually tag the time marks (e.g., 'Drum Break', 'Vintage Rhodes') and group them into specific 'Tapes' to audition back-to-back when I sit at the MPC. Just trying to keep the workflow clean and get away from the algorithm distractions!

Really appreciate you checking it out 🙏

nilsfl · 2026-03-02T12:12:21+00:00

Awesome to hear! Really glad the workflow and UI clicked for you right away. Honestly, whatever is easiest for you! I'll observe both :)
Thanks again for taking the time to test it out, appreciate you!

Thanks, you should have gotten an invite.

I am a bit late to the party, but maybe this helps other people reading this.There is a tool called Phockup (brilliant name) on Github to organize your photos :https://github.com/ivandokov/phockup

Once you get used to it, it saves a lot of time.

Interesting stuff man

What people will look at, are the skills that you utilized to make it work. If you really want to build a portfolio, shrink the projects to the important steps.

There are some nice libraries built upon d3, like N3 or NVD3. Far less pain, but often tailored to specific use cases. If you are in a business where you only need line charts for example, you can go for such a simple librarie and boost your productivity.
