If you’re like me, you’ve got a ton of sample packs, sound kits etc on your computer. But you don’t use every single sound in every single kit. Not even close.

Is there a way of identifying files that have NOT been used in ANY of our Ableton projects? I’d like to know so that I can free up storage space by deleting sounds that I have never used. Now if a sound file has been used in one or more projects, obviously I’d want to keep it… whether that means it was dragged directly onto an audio channel, or loaded into a plugin such as Serato Sample.

Does anything like this exist?

Did Ilia do a quad at any point in Anaheim tonight? My first time watching in person; and once it gets to 3+ rotations, I can’t even really tell how many they did, lol. Amazing regardless, and an insane amount of backflips!

UA was hovering around 6.6 with monthly flares in late 2025. Doubled allo from 300 to 600 in January. Had a bad flare because I started this increase in allo too soon after a prior flare, on bad advice from a non-gout specialist doctor. UA tested 3.2 at time of this flare, probably an artificially low figure due to the flare.

Then no flares in Feb and March. UA tested at 3.5 in late March, while all was good. Thought I had finally gotten gout out of my life… then boom. A brief Achilles flare in April. And now a terrible flare on index finger in May.

Given that I was flare free for two months, at the end of which my UA tested at 3.5: do these most recent two sound like mobilization flares (aka on the road to victory)? I’m waiting to hear back from my rheumatologist on all this, but wanted to hear about others’ experiences anecdotally. I assume we’ll test UA again sometime after this current flare ends.

Hating this period in my life right now and I know if anyone can understand, it’s people in this sub.
