rainstick Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 how do... what i want to be able to do is save an old project to a new one with only the file's currently used in the arrange window at the point of saving. So i could go into an old project - clean it up, delete all the irrelevant audio file's etc and then save it as a new project to a new folder and stuff. So it'd be like starting a new track with a booster seat or whatever.... I seem to remember it being do-able but i can't really remember how it was meant to be done.

Scott Jackson Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Just do a Save As of the project. Save it under a new name outside of the original projects folder. When Saving As, check Include Assets in the Save As dialogue window. Edited January 15, 2011 by Scott Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainstick Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 ace.. cheers for that - so does it completely copy the files, ? ( their not aliases...) If i strech / change gain's and stuff will it effect the file's in the original project or anything tricky like that, ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Jackson Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) ace.. cheers for that You're welcome! so does it completely copy the files, ? Yes, if you check include assets and select the appropriate assets then you are duplicating the Audio files. I just did a test on one of my projects. I did Save As and included assets. In the new project I deleted the Audio files from the bin and the HD. The original project still has the original Audio files. Of course, any time you do a test as I just did, make sure you have a Time Machine or other backup in case the test turns out different than you expected.

rainstick Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 sweet, cheers for that =) for some reason it's something i never really do, but for dance production and stuff it could be really helpful, especially for getting ideas out quicker rather than flaffing around with drums for ages!
