Audio Layer file storage question [SOLVED]

Wondering others experience...

Audio Layer installed: about 300MB

Import a few instruments to local storage: goes up by 300MB or about the size of the instruments’ samples file sizes

Delete said instruments: does not reduce app storage amounts, or even goes up.

Method to check iPad storage usage for Audio Layer: settings> general > iPad storage

    AudioLayer needs proper file access, either using Files.app or a WiFi WebDAV server or anything that gives us full access to our files.
    Deleting and reinstalling AL all the time can't be a solution.

    Deleting instruments only deletes the user preset file which references the sample folder. You have to delete the sample folder too, under AudioLayer app Settings/Local Sample manager?

    ...from the manual.
    I tried turning this on and it makes a copy of the samples used for your instruments in the iCloud folder. It seems deleting this created folder doesn’t delete the samples imported into Audio Layer. So then, I’m not sure what the last sentence in the manual means “...and allows you to manage the sample files used.”

    See my post above; you certainly can manage your sample files in a limited way within the app. The Local Sample manager allows you to delete or to use the available sample pool for other user instruments, but not much else... also remember to delete your user sample files in the import folder of Audiolayer, which is the bit that you can do in the iOS files app.

    Repeat post; please delete.

    I’m not sure I understand what this means.

    Even with Local Sample Manager on , there still are unreachable sample folders that cannot be deleted or changed?

    They are all accessible within the Local Sample manager, including factory content, user samples etc? Are you sure you're looking in the right place within the app? ;)

    Top centre of the app, where you make new instruments shows as 'Sample File Management' in the dropdown. This really only allows you to point your new instrument at the sample pool/folder it uses... which is in a different place over on the right under settings, and towards the bottom of the dropdown, where it's shown as 'Local Sample manager'. Vid shows that even when you delete your instrument preset the samples are still there until you go into Local Sample manager and kill them... ;) Logical really, because you might have used the samples in that pool for another layer in a completely different instrument preset...

  • Got it, thanks for being persistent! Now I can delete instruments and make new ones using same sample pool. Thanks again!

  • I see my oversight...I was trying on the iPhone. It looks like the functionality is different between the iPhone and iPad with this function.

    Useful to know; I haven't tried installing it on my Touch6 yet. I've ruined a few of my AudioLayer 'instruments' by deleting stuff from the sample pool in the Local Sample manager, which I'd forgotten I had used in other instruments. Pays to double check. ;)
