blacklabradors Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Some of my projects are TEN GIGABYTES. What can I possibly do to fix this? This should not even be possible. they are 3 minute long songs. I really don't know how to fix this. I've tried cleaning up the project and everything. If anyone has any advice, please let me know. I am trying to transfer my album mixes to a flash drive so I can feel safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 So a couple of things you can do to double check: Make sure there's no hidden tracks Go to Audio Files window, select Unused and then Delete Go to File - Project Management - Clean Up Reduce Undo Steps in Logic's preferences.

I just deleted unused in the audio bin, and the file went from 9gb to 5.5gb. How do I reduce undo steps and make sure there's no hidden tracks?

triplets Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Did you do the clean up after the delete unused as well? Undo Steps: Logic Preferences - General - Editing For hidden tracks there should be a big H letter on top of the track header column if at any point a hidden track was in fact hidden. Otherwise there shouldn't be any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, yes, cleaned up multiple times, checked for hidden tracks (none), and made undo steps go down to 50... file is still at 5.5 gigs:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Is 10GB the size of the project file, project folder, or project package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRobinson Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 And, strange as it may seem, "is this a problem?" Disk drives are cheap. Real cheap ... A computer's project working-files – whether we're talking music or something else – are often rather gigantic, because there's a lot of high-resolution information in them which won't appear in the final "deliverable file." (MP3, Movie, Photo, what-have-you.) Deliverable files are routinely compressed. Project files (of any sort) routinely are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
