💾 Managing Recording Storage Usage

Learn how to monitor your storage usage, understand quotas, and manage your recording files effectively.

Checking Your Storage

  1. Go to your profile page
  2. View "Storage Usage" section
  3. See total used vs. available
  4. Breakdown by file type (recordings, albums, etc.)

Storage Quotas

Storage limits by plan:

  • Free: 8GB per user (non-pooled for free-only bands)
  • Pro: 20GB per user (pools across all your bands)
  • Premium: 50GB per user (pools across all your bands)

Pooled Storage

How storage pooling works:

  • Paid members' storage pools together in shared bands
  • Example: 2 Pro members = 40GB for that band
  • Free members don't pool - each gets 8GB individually
  • Bands with all free members are capped at 8GB total

What Uses Storage

Files that count toward your quota:

  • Recordings - Full set recordings and song recordings
  • Recording Splits - Individual song files from splits
  • Normalized Versions - Normalized audio files
  • Album Artwork - Album cover images
  • Video Files - Uploaded video files
  • Audio Samples - Band audio samples

Freeing Up Space

Ways to reduce storage usage:

Delete Old Recordings

  • Go to setlist recordings page
  • Review old recordings you no longer need
  • Delete recordings that aren't useful
  • Keep your best performances

Delete Unwanted Splits

  • Review split recordings
  • Delete splits that didn't turn out well
  • Keep only your best takes

Normalize Before Uploading

  • For files over 300MB, normalize on your computer first
  • Reduces file size while maintaining quality
  • Use Audacity, FFmpeg, or similar tools

Storage Best Practices

  • Regularly review and delete old/unwanted recordings
  • Keep your best performances, delete practice takes
  • Normalize large files before uploading
  • Consider upgrading if you regularly hit limits
  • Pool storage by having multiple paid members in your band

Upgrading Storage

If you need more space:

  • Upgrade to Pro (20GB) or Premium (50GB)
  • Storage pools with other paid members
  • Check pricing page for current plans
