It is important to note that after importing a sample the original still remains in the the /TMP/AUDIO_IMPORT folder. Once it has been imported to the /SMPL folder it is up to you to delete the original if you wish. You may not want to do this immediately if you plan on editing the sample. You can always re-import it if you mess things up :-). However, remember you are using twice the space if you keep the original in /TMP/AUDIO_IMPORT folder as well as the imported version in /SMPL.
