# Audio Collection

The **Audio Collection** window is your maintenance panel: here you locate, modify or delete the sounds and music tracks already registered with Audio Creator. It also lets you rename tags, add or remove clips, and get an immediate overview of compression presets and the output assigned to each audio asset.

To open it, go to `Tools ▸ Melenitas Dev ▸ Sounds Good ▸ Audio Collection`.

### 🛠️ Step-by-step workflow

1. **Select the tab**
   * `Sounds` → manage existing SFX
   * `Music` → manage music tracks
2. **Quickly filter**
   * Type part of the tag (e.g. `laser`)
   * Or select an `AudioClip` to see which audio entries use it
   * Combine both filters to narrow down results
3. **Edit the audio**
   * **Rename Tag**: click the field and enter the new name (no spaces, accents or leading numbers)

     > ⚠️ Changing a tag will break references to `SFX.OldTag` or `Track.OldTag` in your code.
   * **Modify clips**: drag files onto each clip to replace it
   * **Add clips**: click **Add** to include new clips
   * **Remove clips**: click the `×` next to a clip; it’s removed instantly
   * Below each card you’ll see the applied compression preset and whether the audio is `Mono` or `Stereo`
4. **Delete an entire audio entry (safe mode)**
   * Hold `ALT` → cards turn red
   * Click the audio you want to delete
   * Confirm by clicking **Remove**; the audio is deleted from the database and its corresponding enum
5. **Save changes**\
   Changes are saved instantly. Deleting an audio or renaming a tag regenerates the `SFX` / `Track` enum and updates the database.
