Support

inASD Studio helps music producers hide and reveal Ableton Live .asd analysis files in Finder. It does not delete those files or change their contents. Other file types are left alone.

Getting started

  1. Choose Hide .asd Files or Reveal .asd Files.
  2. Add a folder (⌘O) or mounted drive (⇧⌘O).
  3. Wait for the file count to finish.
  4. Run the action with the main button or ⌘↩.
  5. Optionally save a text report from the result card or choose File → Save Report… (⌘S).

In-app help: Help → inASD Studio Guide (⌘?).

Common questions

Are my files deleted?

No. Hide only marks matching .asd files as hidden in Finder. Reveal makes them visible again.

Why do I still see some .asd files?

They may be outside the folders or drives you selected, or they may already match the requested state, with nothing to change.

Notifications do not stay on screen

Allow notifications for inASD Studio in System Settings. For banners that stay until dismissed, set Alert Style to Persistent.

Can I undo a run?

Switch mode from Hide to Reveal, or from Reveal to Hide, and run again on the same locations.

The app cannot see a drive or folder

Reconnect the volume, then add it again. Access is limited to locations you select.
