Audio files

To import audio files into your current Project, first make sure those files are placed in one of the communal folders (such as Download, Music or Documents) accessible by all apps.

Press the Project button on the Arranger Screen to open the Project Options.

Select Import audio/MIDI file to open the in-app browser.

Locate the audio file/s (or MIDI files) you want to import into your Project on your device.

Tap on the file's name to import a single file or use the check-boxes to select multiple files (can be a combination of audio and MIDI files) and then tap on one of their file names to import them all.

Once imported, these files can be found in the Project > Samples folder in the app's private storage.

Audio (and MIDI) files can also be imported into your Project using the Project  button > Import song from music database function.

You can connect to your desktop computer to place your audio (or MIDI) files in the communal folders before using the in-app browser function to import them into your current Project.

Audio (or MIDI) files can also be placed directly into a Project's Samples folder by navigating to Android > data > com.extreamsd.aemobile > files > AudioEvolution > Projects > (Your Project) > Samples BUT you will still need to use the in-app browser function to actively import them into your open Project.
