Default Question about setting up a session files, saving/bouncing

Hi All,

I recorded my first band practice last night, and I must admit, I'm so impressed. It came out great.

Here is the scoop: I setup a file called "band template". which has all the tracks and settings and routings of 6 Tracks total. I figured rather than creating a new session each time, just have one template, right?

After each recording, I did a "File / Save As" and gave the new session a new name. However, in doing so, each session has the regions from the previous session. By the end of the night, each song had all the regions of other songs. So, if I'm in Song B and delete the regions of song A, song A can no longer find the regions... Yikes!

Also, if Song B runs shorter than Song A and I Bounce Song B to MP3, the remaining regions from Song A will also record to the MP3 after song b is finished playing.

What is the best practice to record a band practice?

Thanks in advance! pg
