Re use a Project

[rainstick]

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.

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.

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, ?

You're welcome!

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.

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!
