Some methods are good for quick experimentation, some others are good to share your audio collection with other musicians: - Import folders [from the interface](/learn/samples/#from-disk-via-import-sounds-folder) + - - Host your sound library e.g. on github and [load them from an URL](/learn/samples/#loading-custom-samples) ## Can I use Strudel with AI/LLM tools? @@ -80,15 +81,15 @@ If you want to emulate the functionality of a DAW in a live coding language, you ## Why doesn't everyone just use a DAW? -There is no easy answer to this question.

Think of live coding tools as instruments that you activate through the act of programming.
