Deleting Songs

ColinW My question is: The new iPad doesn't have enough memory to load my Stagetraxx backup

How large is your backup?
I have 21gig file which is huge and it will fit on a 32gig iPad , now you can’t buy a 32gig device they all start at 64gig ,
Give us more information so we can help.
Why don’t you fully dedicate your new device to ST3 and get rid of all other software this will give you lots of space.

Damir Hey thanks for info. It was actually the mini end from an audio cable that broke off inside the headphone jack. Tried the crazy glue trick from YouTube and now it's really stuck. The cost to get someone to open it up and the time wasn't an option. I bought the new iPad (9th gen 64GB with a headphone jack) to only use for gigs but I must have set something up wrong because I kept getting lack of memory alerts every time I tried to sync and restore Stagetraxx 3. Ironically, I could have just used an adaptor for the lightning port to plug into my mixer. You just can't charge at the same time.

ColinW you can charge at the same time if you get the correct adaptor , it has a headphone out and a lightning chargig connector all in one, but i preffer headphone out jack and i purchased another 9th gen 256gb ipad just for its headphone ability as a spare backup device or as a complimentary screen for any guests on stage.

Backup is only 7.84 GB

Damir

ColinW this backup should easily fit on your 64 gb 9th gen ipad.
Do a search to where your memory has gone and fix the problem , empty your rubbish bin as that will still use space untill its emptied.

So if I have a song file example: "MySong" in the key of A, and I color code it White, then I duplicate the song and change the Key to Bb in StageTraxx, then color it Green, it will remember the key if I want to add it another playlist? or should I just change the name to "MySongBb" ? I would have two .wav files

Damir

ColinW thats correct, and its up to you how you name it, i think you can have identical names

So the answer is: When you delete and hit YES to confirm, you delete the audio file from wherever it is used

ColinW So the answer is: When you delete and hit YES to confirm, you delete the audio file from wherever it is used

If you are in song mode this will remove the audio file if you choose that option, but if you are deleting in playlists then it just removes that song from the playlist it still exists in song mode.
To fully remove songs use song mode and select to remove the actual file from ST3 this then saves space but only after you empty the bin in FILES folder.

Thank you so much! Appreciate your quality answers

As you can share the same audio file in multiple songs, this warning about deleting files will only be visible when Stage Traxx detects that at least one of the files associated with that song is not used in other songs and can be deleted. If all files for a song are also used by another song, Stage Traxx will not show that warning and will not delete any of those files.
