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 |

That's right it is the audio files it's looking for - but what I am trying to do is to deliberately delete the old and out-of-date audio files within the Audio folder - the reason is that after I've been editing a song for some while, the Audio fie becomes massive with out of date stuff; and while I'm trying to keep the premixed version of songs in PT, I don't have unlimited HD space.
What I just want is a "legal" way of editing down the final contents of the Audio file, and I can't find any reference in the manuals to do this. I've not yet come across any files in italics but I'll watch out for them. Thanks again for your interest Bloot |
