How do I clear this entirely and start from scratch?

I can't seem to get a fresh start to use a folder of selected samples.

Hi ! to use a folder as a dataset you have to go to "New -> From a folder" and then select the folder you want to use. ASt will search that folder and all its sub-folders for audio files and will create a new map out of it.

Hi! I'm also having issues with creating a new project. When i click New folder, and choose the folder, it seems to process the files, but when the load is complete it doesn't show the new project, but the default project instead. With "slice long recording" option it seems to work fine, but the folder-option doesn't.

Any ideas how to fix it?

My guess is that the selected folder hasn't got enough files, it should have more than 10 wav or mp3 files.

If you could complete the entire process using slice long recording, then something is wrong with the selected folder because the process after slicing is the same as choosing a folder.

I hope this makes sense. cheers

Hi! Thanks for the quick answer!

In the folder I have sometihng like 50 normal wav files, quite short ones.

This isn't the first time someone reported this, but our team is not able to reproduce it.

What operating system are you using? Any Error/Information window ? Can you share the files used, they would be of tremendous help.

Thanks for reporting and we hope to fix it

Windows 10. No error messages, it just says "hooray your set is ready, now adjust the settings etc..." but then there still is just the previously loaded project, usually the "default project".

I tried to combine all the clips into one long wav clip and then use the slice option, but it didnt work either, same messages and problems. It lets me to adjust the slicing options etc, then starts processing, and end result is just the same. Its weird, since it did work previously, but I have no idea what is differently this time.

If you want the files, I can send them, if you give me an email address! Just some random field recordings from a student group, planned to do some kind of interactive installation with it.

Hi Aimo, can you tell us what version of AudioStellar are you using ?

You can find this information in "Help > About"

Also, in the folder where you installed AudioStellar, check if there is a file called "interprocess". It might be in the bin/ directory. Delete it if you find it and try again please.
