Keep Your Audio Files Organized

A well-organized audio library helps you find the files you need quickly. This tutorial will show you how to create a logical structure for your growing collection.

Creating Folders

Start by creating a folder structure that makes sense for your workflow. You might organize by:

  • Project name
  • Client name
  • Audio type (samples, masters, works in progress)
  • Date recorded

Using Tags Effectively

Tags add another dimension to organization, allowing you to find files across different folders. Consider tagging files with:

  • Instrument types
  • Tempo/BPM
  • Key signature
  • Mood or style
  • Recording quality

Smart Playlists

Use AudioCloud's smart playlist feature to automatically group files based on criteria you set. For example, create a playlist of all guitar samples or all tracks in C minor.
