reflected Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I just took the leap and bought Logic a few days ago after working with it in recording classes at school. I'm used to a project folder being created when I save new projects, and within them, an "Audio Files" folder. Bounces, etc., you know what I mean, because that's what you see too, right? I'm not seeing this on my laptop when I save new Logic files. Is there a setting I forgot to change so that that'd be automatic? Right now, I'm just able to save and access the actual .logicx file. When I open it up, all my audio is there... but this is a pretty lame way to work with the audio and doesn't offer a lot of security to me. Anyone know what's up with this and how to fix it? A million thanks. kasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi, There's two different formats you can save your projects in: "Package" and "Folder". Choose "Folder" to get separate project file and Audio Files folder. The package option puts all files within the project file (package) itself. J.

simon.a.billington Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 ...and like any normal Package object, you can Right-Click on it and select Show Package Contents, then you will be able to explore your file structure. Theres advantages to both systems, but for the moment I work with Folders and will consider saving my projects as Packages when it comes to archiving.

reflected Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Oh wow, so simple! Thank you very much for your prompt replies. And what a relief to know that the package option has that flexibility as well, Simon. Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon.a.billington Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 It's a great idea for newcomers who like everything simple, but also good for archiving and if you need your projects to be portable. If you use folders, you can always save as a package at any time, which is great for flexibility. Just make sure you Consolidate your project before packaging. That way you can be sure all the files, sample instruments, IR files, movies, etc are all inside the package so there's no ugly surprises when you come to retrieve it.

vanhaze Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 So how do you consolidate a Logic Project ? I am not aware of a Consolidate function in LPX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon.a.billington Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 File > Project Management > Consolidate... And then every option you click will copy all the resource files into Logic's Project folder/bundle. You can also simply select these options at the bottom of a Save As Dialogue, or choose File > Project Settings > Assets. So you can see, there is several ways you can choose to manage your project's resources Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
