I'm running ProTools 002 on a G5, and I'm so far OK for memory on the separate HD. However, I've discovered that any song file will work quite happily on the latest version of audio files that PT creates, so in a couple of instances I've deleted the old audio files - the song still comes up OK, but it brings up a menu to recreate the deleted files, or search for them.
Somewhere I have already reduced the number of backup files to keep, perhaps in preferences/options or similar. Could anyone advise how I can "normalise" the current reduced version of the song file. I'd like to keep the 'multitrack' versions of songs as well the mixes, but I need the files to be as small as reasonably possible. many thanks, Bloot |

Is the dialogue box asking about audio files or fade files? For some reason PT seems to be missing fade files on regular basis, this however is not a big problem as missing fades are automatically recreated.
If PT is asking about audio files it means that you have either deleted or moved the files from their original location on the disk. To be sure, locate all audio files in the session's own Audio Files -folder. Also make sure you don't have any non-existent files in your session (their names are shown in italic style) before you save it. This post has been edited by coldharbour: Thu 21 Apr 2005, 16:54 |
