I´m trying to organize session. Copied it to another partition, oppended allocation setting and told it to refere to the new audio folder. But while it accepts the new path and displays it, the single tracks remain on original folder. Even if you extra switch them and they finally will display the new location the audio in the regions list still means the original stuff and when you manipulate the audio the original stuff will be effected instead of the duplicated one.

Why is this so messed up?

Why is this thing so damn persistent!? What are you supposed to do to when duplicating session and audio and wanting to link them correspondingly!?

PS: And Flick, should you be arround. I didn´t want to bump my thread yesterday one more time, thus didn´t reflect, but you made my day, man. Thanks a bunch :^) !

What I do is just move the original stuff out of the old location.
Then when you open PTLE it will ask you where it is.
Then you just direct it to the new stuff.
PTLE is now happy so save the session.

You need to use 'Save Session Copy In' from the File menu in Pro Tools to get file associations to change to the new location.

Dragging and dropping doesn't change those file associations, neither does disk allocation.

Reading the manual is usually a good idea, too - it's all in there.

I'm pretty sure 'Save Session Copy In' handles this correctly. At this point, you should rename the ORIGINAL folder for this project, so none of the old stuff will be found.

Your Right that's how I picked the name!
It's not limited to PTLE though.
It works for gear, cars, even girl friends.
Don't try to find the problem just swap and see what happens.
Saves a lot of time.

Oh, a smart one.
Guess what, 'Save Session Copy In' was the way it has been done. Did the manual say this would make the allocation flexible? Then forget about the manual.

Thank you guys,

I think the swap and the rename sound good.

Anyway, it is worth a Digi eye I think. If allocation switch doens´t work, what is that nice window good for?

Greets,

Roy you got my number.
Just between you and me, there are some things that can't
be fixed. Like a crashed hard drive or bad relationship.
That's where the swap-and-go method can bring happiness.

Joe I think this should be place with the information on the
Digi 001 nine pin D-connector.

LOL

The 9-pin D was for sourround sound with super transient deluxe flash. You just missed it, because you never check the manual. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
