So I am currently working on a session that has been split up from initially one larger recording session about 35 minutes with lot's of take folders + track alternatives everywhere etc. The Audio File folder is about 15gb and there are three separate folder with more audio files and the "All in One" Session file is around 5gb. Weirdly enough, the split up mix sessions (via cut section between locators) are also around the same size even though it has been split up. The question - why do the actual session files have such huge sizes? The clean-up feature can't be used, right? (since all the split mix sessions theoretically should use the same audio files that are in the folder the big session). Is there anyone maybe that has a "proven workflow" for sessions like this? It's currently taking up 60+gb on one of my drives, which isn't a problem, but it can't be the best way to do this which is why I am asking for some advice 😉
Sorry if this is very unclear or there already is a similar discussion.
