PSA: Audio Pool Path Lengths

A Public Service Announcement regarding the length of paths within the Audio Pool.

Keep your Audio Pools reasonably tidy, and don’t create folders with a long name inside folders with a long name, inside folders with a long name, inside folders with a long name, and a long sample name that result in overly long paths that cannot be resolved.

There are limitions on the depth, or length of a file path in Windows, i.e. You shouldn’t be able to create files/folders with a path that is too deep. Something to be aware about, particularly for OSX users…


Keep yourself organised and save your self pain later…

Also, Last time I checked, there is a 99 file limit in a given folder on the octatrack.
