Would still like to have some sort of heirarchy in the audio folder though. I've come up with the idea of at least naming my files with little shortcut letters at the beginning (like MU for music, DI for dialog, etc) and that at least keeps them in some kind of order in the regions window. But if I create these folders, then move the sound files to the appropriate places, I hve to spend several minutes 'finding' them again for ProTools the next time I open my session. So for instance, I'd love to have subfolders in my audio files folder for, say all of my 'dialog' files, another for all of my 'music' files, another for 'foley' etc.

Try editing a movie with Final Cut Pro quicktime files all over the place sometime.Īnyway- a related question: I am editing audio on my first feature length film, and I'd love to be able to create a file structure for my session that mimics the types of audio I'll be working with. Maybe add 'comp' to the beginning of the name, so later you don't have to figure out 'what's the difference between kik2 and *kik2?' Much easier to remember 'comp kik2-00'. images, sound effects, and more with our flexible plan options. PT will auto-name the consolidated file whatever the name of the selected track is.

Tip 2: Before you consolidate, rename the track. (edit: Kris, how'd you get your post in before mine? hehe.) Instead of consolidating, you could also just select unused regions and delete them from the drive once you're sure you have the takes you want (after backing up the whole session of course).

If your problem is that you have more than one song at a time stored on your only external scsi drive, get em off there man! At least drag em onto the mac drive for temporary storage until you can back em up. It's not unusual for me to end up with 30 tracks of takes for one vocal lead part, and rarely do my 64 track sessions go over 6GB total. No sense in keeping it, it might confuse me or someone else later - 'did we want to use that take? Is that why we kept it?' But even when I don't delete the takes, they don't come anywhere near that amount of data. For those takes that I stop without hitting command-period, and decide after stopping the take's not worth keeping, I'll go into the region list immediately and delete it from the drive then and there. If you press that before stopping on a bad take that you *know* you won't want to keep, it will discontinue recording and not even write the file to disk. 9GB is a f'ing lot of data man! What the h3ll? In order to conserve disk space, one valuable tool is the commmand-period.
