Over the course of many sessions spread out over months. I have created many mixes (with alternative tracks), but 90% of tracks are the same. These got saved into three different projects as folders. I want to condense the projects down to one, so I can back up to DVD for a client. Any thoughts on best way?
I thought of temporarily changing the name of the first two audio folders to something else. I would load latest project in first. All audio would be in audio folder 3. If I then tried to load Alternative song 2, I assume Logic would ask where files for song 2 were, I would point it at audio folder 3, and hopefully it should find all audio tracks. (I didn't delete unused tracks out of audio folders). I believe if Logic can't find an audio track, it will stop, and tell me where it thinks it is, (much the way Kontakt will ask if it can't find a particular audio sample. I would one at a time move audio track from audio folder 2 (folder name temporarily changed).
If I pointed Logic to the wrongly named file, I assume it might look there for rest of files. Which afterward I could move audio tracks in audio folder 1, and 2 to folder 3.
I have NEVER done something like this.
Worst case scenario, I suppose I could print out all all three audio files, A/B them, and move audio tracks in question to audio file 3.
Any ideas, suggestions, etc, would be greatly suggested.
